The 7 features that make Fantasy Cards Authenticator (FCA) the best company to grade your cards
Let us guess… You love trading cards! It’s no secret that to us either. Whatever the collection, Pokémon, Magic or Dragon Ball, they all have something special.In this article we are going to tell you the 7 key reasons why FCA (Fantasy Cards Authenticator) is the best grading company for you.
The importance of a custom-designed card grading case
The Fantasy Cards Authenticator team has designed their own case and they worked hard on it! You will receive your graded cards in an original and exclusive case. We don’t believe in using generic cases or copies.
Our case provides optimal support for the card after it has been encased. We take great care over this and know that you are going to love it as much as we do!
¡Don’t worry! The case’s material will NOT damage your cards (it is free from PVC and acids) and that is why we case cards WITHOUT a sleeve. This will allow you to see the details of your cards much better. And as if that weren’t enough, the cases have enhanced ultraviolet (UV) protection to make them even safer.
But there’s more, we have two different grading cases. One for 63×88 mm cards (for Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Dragon Ball, etc. sized cards) and another one which is 59x86mm (for Yu-Gi-Oh sized cards).

Our diligence when grading cards is crucial
At FCA we are stringent when grading your cards because we know the value of your collection and we want your cards to be graded fairly.
We have designed a rigorous and objective grading system, mainly based on data analysis.
We use all the state-of-the-art equipment needed to check your cards, from digital magnifying glasses and image analysis software to forensic document analysis machines!
We get the grading score by analysing the data from the different equipment and using a specialized FCA programme. It is a highly complex process but leave the analytical part to our Goblins and just enjoy your cards when they are returned to you.
Originality comes first in our grading service
We have put all of our efforts into the security of our graded cards to ensure their originality and prevent counterfeiting.
Exclusive Fantasy Cards Authenticator case
As we mentioned before, our cases are an exclusive FCA design, so you can’t find generic copies on the market. This is a key point for us in the fight against counterfeiting.
Authentication label
Our label has several security systems to prevent copying and counterfeiting. It first comes with a premium finish, which is difficult to replicate and also has random generation codes and engravings visible only under ultraviolet light.
There are a few other security measures, but… Let’s not make it too easy for them!
Ultrasonic sealing of the casing
We seal the cases using ultrasonic welding, so that they cannot be opened again. This system guarantees the protection of your cards FOREVER. Any card that has been removed from its casing, or any case that shows marks of having been forced open, loses its authentication guarantee. In other words, the grading is no longer valid.
So, if you are ever asked, no, once sealed your card cannot be reopened (not without the use of brute force and the subsequent risk of damaging the card), since the welded seals have been designed to be inaccessible and are highly resistant.
Certificate of Authenticity
Each card graded by FCA has a digital and physical certificate of authentication that guarantees its originality. Additionally, you can always check all the details of your card on our website with the codes provided.
Taking all of this into consideration, we are the BEST option for grading your cards. All of us here at Fantasy Cards Authenticator (FCA) would like to invite you to find out more about us and enjoy a truly unique experience of authenticating your cards with us. We are looking forward to receiving your order and seeing what treasures you have in your collection. Grade your cards now!
