About Lion City Grading
Built by Collectors. Driven by Innovation.
Lion City Grading (LCG) is Singapore's premium trading card authentication, grading and encapsulation company, built for collectors across Asia.
Founded with a vision to establish a trusted regional grading standard, LCG combines advanced grading technology, premium encapsulation and detailed digital certification to help collectors protect, authenticate and preserve their most valuable collectibles.
From Pokémon cards and sports cards to other trading card collectibles, every submission undergoes a structured grading process focused on centering, surface, edges, corners, authenticity verification and long-term preservation.
Our Mission
Grade Locally. Trade Globally.
Collectors across Asia deserve a faster, safer and more accessible grading solution without the long turnaround times, expensive international shipping and logistical risks often associated with overseas grading companies.
At LCG, we believe every trading card deserves a fair, transparent and consistent evaluation.
As collectors ourselves, we understand the excitement of discovering rare cards and the confidence that comes from knowing they have been professionally authenticated and accurately graded. Our mission is to combine modern technology with expert human verification to deliver objective, repeatable and trusted grading results.
Our Commitment to Transparent Grading
Every card tells a story, and every grade should be backed by evidence.
Unlike traditional grading companies that simply assign a final grade, LCG is committed to providing collectors with greater transparency into how each grade is determined.
Every card is carefully evaluated for:
- Authentication
- Centering
- Surface condition
- Edge quality
- Corner quality
Our AI-assisted grading workflow is supported by experienced human verification to ensure consistent and reliable grading outcomes. Each graded card is accompanied by a detailed digital grading report, giving collectors valuable insight into the condition of their cards rather than just a numerical grade.
Introducing the LCG Digital Twin™
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do.
Every graded card receives its own LCG Digital Twin™—a permanent digital identity that securely records the card's condition at the time of grading.
The Digital Twin includes:
- High-resolution front and back scans
- Macro inspection images
- Digital defect mapping
- Authentication verification
- Digital grading report
- Certification details
- QR code verification
This permanent digital record provides collectors with greater confidence when buying, selling, trading or preserving their collections. It also establishes an auditable history of every graded card, supporting transparency and long-term trust.
The LCG Digital Twin™ represents our vision for the future of trading card grading, where every slab is backed by both physical protection and digital certainty.
