    Whenever you send a card to get graded, no matter which grading service, they serialize every single card

    Wouldn’t serializing a card “damage” the card and make it less valuable? I know the grading service wouldn’t say so, but that’s because they damaged it.

      The card itself doesn’t get serialized, but the card gets “slabbed”; put in a plastic case that is serialized and can’t be opened without damage.

        Without damage to the card or to the case? Because it seems pretty silly to steal a graded card and not remove it from its case and send for rating sgain to get a new number.
