Elevating Card Grading with Precision, Passion, and Purpose
Dotto Card Co. blends cutting-edge technology with collector-grade care to deliver a new gold standard in card grading.
Our Mission
At Dotto Card Co., we’re building a future-forward card grading company — one that prioritizes precision, transparency, and trust. Whether you're preserving a vintage collectible or preparing a modern card for sale or trade, our goal is to deliver the most consistent, informative, and accurate grading experience possible.
Our Grading System: Where AI Meets Expertise
Dotto utilizes a dual-layered grading process that blends the accuracy of AI-driven analysis with the deep experience of human inspectors. This hybrid system ensures every card is assessed with both technical precision and collector-level discernment.
We grade every card across four core attributes:
-
Centering
-
Corners
-
Edges
-
Surface
We follow a standard 1 to 10 grading scale, but introduce three refined “10” tiers that reflect exceptional card conditions with unmatched clarity.
Our Exclusive “10” Tiers
Bonus: All cards graded 9.5 and above receive our premium label, distinguishing their superior quality.
Why Grading Matters
Professional grading isn’t just about assigning a number — it’s about:
✅ Authentication: Verifying your card’s legitimacy
✅ Condition Reporting: Standardizing its market value
✅ Protection: Safeguarding it in a tamper-proof slab
✅ Liquidity: Making it easier to sell or trade with confidence
✅ Provenance: Recording the ownership and history of each card
Vintage 10:
The Collector’s Crown Jewel
Achieving a Vintage 10 is rare — and for good reason.
Vintage cards are naturally harder to keep in pristine condition. When a decades-old card earns this elite grade, it’s more than just a rating — it's a celebration of preservation and historical value.
A Vintage 10 means:
-
It survived the test of time in flawless condition
-
It holds peak collector demand and investment potential
-
It has documented ownership history and authenticity
-
It’s protected for future generations
Understanding the Dotto Grading Scale
Our scale ranges from 1 to 10, with detailed criteria for each level. Here's a simplified breakdown:
Grade
Summary
10
Impeccable / Gem Mint / Vintage 10 – Factory-perfect condition
9
Mint – Near flawless, with only micro imperfections
8
Near Mint-Mint – Great condition with slight wear
6-7
Excellent to Near Mint – Visible, but minimal flaws
3-5
Fair to Good – Moderate to heavy wear, still collectible
1-2
Poor to Heavily Played – Major flaws or damage present
We consider manufacturing differences, age, and card era — especially when assigning vintage grades.
Tracking Ownership & Card History
Dotto doesn’t just grade cards — we help you track their journey.
Every graded card receives a unique serial number, which logs:
-
📦 Date received
-
🔍 Review & grading stages
-
📮 Shipping updates
-
🔁 Ownership history
-
💰 (Optional) Recorded sale prices
This makes each card traceable, trustworthy, and more valuable.
Our Labels:
Built to Stand Out
Every Dotto slab is sealed with a high-quality label featuring:
-
Card name & details
-
Serial number & grade
-
Subgrades (if applicable)
-
Premium design for high-grade cards
-
Ruby Label for Vintage 10s
We believe every great card deserves an equally great presentation.
