What to watch
No grade warranty is published, and recognition sits well below the majors. Collector discussion raises quality-control allegations — wrong labels, debris inside slabs, returned card damage — which are allegations rather than established fact but shape buyer trust.

Prices as checked on 28 Sept 2026. They change often; the grader's own list is the final word.
Revolution is $22 per card at 25 to 30 business days, dropping to $21 at ten cards and $20 at twenty. RevPriority is $27 at 10 to 15 business days, $26 at ten cards and $25 at twenty. A $99 annual REV Rewards membership takes 15% off submissions and merchandise. Custom slab designs are a $10 add-on. These rates were unavailable in August, when both pricing routes returned server errors; the page was working again when checked on 28 September 2026.

What sets them apart
Direct-to-slab printing with no paper label — a genuine anti-tamper advantage, since there is no insert to swap.
Founded 2023, with subgrades and certified autograph grades included on every submission and a searchable card registry behind them. A $99 annual membership discounts submissions by 15%.
Where the slab sells
A card in an RCG holder is unlikely to command any premium over the same card raw.
eBay
RCG is listed in eBay's professional grader filter, so its slabs are searchable by grader, but it is not covered by the Authenticity Guarantee and carries no eBay buyer protection.
Auction houses
Not accepted as standard inventory at Goldin, Heritage or PWCC.
Card shops and general resale
Recognition is minimal.
Turnaround
The site went offline twice in 2026: in August, and from about 20 to 22 October, when every page showed a hosting provider's "Account Suspended" notice.
It was back with unchanged pricing on 23 October.

The slab and the label
Subgrades: Four, on the label
A standard clear holder; the speckled red-and-black label insert is what identifies it across a room.
Example slab shown for reference, not a card the editor owns.
Four subgrades are printed on the front, and uniquely here an autograph is scored separately and shown beside them — useful on signed cards, where the signature's condition is a distinct question from the card's.
What they grade
- Sports Cards
- TCG
Who it's for
- Personal Collection
- Protection & Preservation
- Authentication
- Condition Documentation
- Display & Presentation
Presentation and documentation rather than value. Note that both pricing pages returned server errors when this was written, so current rates could not be confirmed.
Known concerns
No grade warranty is published, and recognition sits well below the majors. Collector discussion raises quality-control allegations — wrong labels, debris inside slabs, returned card damage — which are allegations rather than established fact but shape buyer trust.
Little independent coverage exists against which to assess consistency. The site, cert lookup included, has gone offline twice in 2026, most recently for a few days in October behind a hosting provider's "Account Suspended" notice. It came back each time, but a slab that can't be verified while the site is down is a real cost to a holder.
History
Revolution Card Grading began in 2021, one of a cohort of entrants that arrived during the grading boom.
It competes on presentation and on pricing packages scaled to different submission sizes, rather than on any distinctive grading methodology.
Its hobby following is growing but remains small, and it publishes no grade warranty.
Score breakdown
