How do I sell a graded or certified piece?

Updated October 24, 2026

To sell a graded or certified piece, add its certification to the listing. The certification is saved as a record of the piece, with the lab, the grade and the certificate number.

What details you need

  • The lab that graded the piece.
  • The grade, on a scale from 1.0 to 10.0.
  • The certificate number.
  • At least one photo of the slab, the sticker or the certificate of authenticity.

When it is mandatory

You add the certification section to the listing yourself. When you add it, the certificate number and the photo of the slab, the sticker or the certificate are mandatory.

Photos of the piece

Besides the photo of the certification, follow the photo guide for the rest of the item.
