NEXT GRADING has an Operations Center in Madrid, and a Logistics Base in Houston.

It's very simple.

All orders from Spain (and Europe) are certified in Madrid.

All orders from the United States, Canada, and Latin America will be sent to Houston.

No parts from Spain will be sent to the Houston base, unless requested by the client.

Some have accused us of being tough, including on ourselves. We take that as a compliment.

We are objective, and we'll explain why:

1. Our commitment is clear: to make collecting a safe sector for all collectors. To achieve this, NEXT GRADING is guided by values of integrity and professionalism, ensuring that each piece is treated with the utmost respect.
2. Grades do not come from a single personal or subjective assessment; they are the result of a methodical and rigorous observation process, carried out by 2 independent graders and an AI.
3. The certification process is anonymous; at no point will the Grading Team have access to the client's identity, not even in the case of a later grade review.

No. Unlike other companies in the sector, NEXT GRADING steps up and opposes this commercial technique. Whatever the value of your piece, our certification and grading fees will be the same.

IMPORTANT:

For orders where the total value of the pieces exceeds €2,000, an insurance fee will be added in case of loss, breakage, or theft. For both parties, this is a guarantee of:

• Responsibility.
• Security.
• Peace of mind.

REMEMBER: You must notify us at the time of purchase. For any questions or insurance simulations, do not hesitate to contact us before placing your order.

At NEXT GRADING, we support content creators and their passion for secure collecting.

• Contact us to learn about our Ambassador and Affiliate programs.

But let's be clear and direct.

• No influencer or customer will receive preferential treatment in the certification results of their items.

For 3 reasons:

1. ANONYMITY. Our Graders do not have access to personal order information.
2. FOCUS. We don't "give away" grades. If the estimated grade is an 8, then it will be an 8. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
3. PASSION. We are collectors first, publicists second. Every encapsulated item is a legacy for future generations. Everything comes and goes, but this item will endure.

"This is the way".

NEXT GRADING quantifies from 0.5 to 10, with 0.5 differences to mark each conservation status.

Each level has its definition:

• 7 = NEAR MINT
• 7.5 = NEAR MINT+

Correct.

The FINAL GRADE is the FINAL ROUNDING of the TOTAL SUM of all analyzed factors of the item.

• TOTAL SUM [ DECIMALS FROM 0.1 ≤ 0.49 ]

If the decimals of the TOTAL SUM are less than 0.25, the FINAL ROUNDING will be 1/2 point lower.

If the decimals of the TOTAL SUM are greater than 0.25, the FINAL ROUNDING will be 1/2 point higher.

• TOTAL SUM [ DECIMALS FROM 0.51 ≤ 0.99 ]

If the decimals of the TOTAL SUM are less than 0.75, the FINAL ROUNDING will be 1/2 point lower.

If the decimals of the TOTAL SUM are greater than 0.75, the FINAL ROUNDING will be 1/2 point higher.

• EXCEPTION CASES:

TOTAL SUM [ DECIMALS = 0.25 ] or [ = 0.75 ]

In this case, the FINAL ROUNDING will be up to 1/2 point higher.
