Our Story

At Diamond Service Grading, our core focus is to provide you with a grading experience that is fast, precise, and transparent.

In 2020, a group of passionate collectors came together to establish DSG, driven by their commitment to deliver the quality they personally desired. We take great pride in upholding rigorous standards for our encapsulations. Additionally, we introduced an innovative grade report that’s user-friendly and applicable to all cards, making it simple to comprehend.
