ROADMAP
At ACG, we’re committed to continuous innovation in card grading, leveraging new technologies to deliver the most premium experience for every collector who owns an ACG slab.
Since our relaunch, we’ve actively been implementing these phases to enhance trading card grading, TCG slab security, and card grading presentation.
Phase 1 - Updated Labels ✔️
Every card is a piece of art, and it deserves to be presented as such. From the moment ACG was founded, we made it a priority to upgrade from traditional paper labels to premium, in-house fabricated metal labels.
This transition allowed us to integrate advanced multi-layer laser technology, including state-of-the-art security features and anti-forgery markers. Through extensive testing and refinement, each label is crafted to deliver a refined, visually stunning finish while providing robust protection against counterfeiting, giving collectors confidence in the authenticity of every graded card.
Phase 2 - Photo Database ✔️
Our database is the most comprehensive in Australia and continues to grow every day. Every card submitted to ACG is automatically added, creating a verified, high-quality record for collectors, complete with detailed information about each graded card.
Each entry currently includes HQ images of the front and back, along with a full breakdown of grades, subgrades, and key card information.
Collectors can quickly compare the card in hand with the database entry, ensuring authenticity.
Every card is accessible via the QR code on your slab, making slab verification fast, simple, and secure, An advanced feature designed to protect the Australian TCG community.
Phase 3 - New Packaging ✔️
Revealing a freshly graded card is just like opening a booster pack - the excitement should be memorable.
That’s why we’ve introduced enhanced packaging for our slabs, designed to make every unboxing a premium experience for collectors.
There's an Alpha in every pack!
Phase 4 - AI Hybrid Grading ✔️
ACG is the first card grader in Australia to integrate AI technology utilized for evaluating card centering.
Each AI assessment is double-checked by a professional grader, ensuring 100% accuracy every time.
To maintain complete transparency, we include the centering report on every card’s database entry - giving collectors full confidence in their card grading.
Phase 5 - New Slabs ✔️
ACG slabs set a new standard in trading card protection and presentation.
Our slabs are thick, crystal-clear, and exceptionally heavy, more than double the weight of typical competitors.
Engineered for maximum durability, they’re almost impossible - and even dangerous to break (don't ask), providing ultimate protection for grading your Pokémon, One Piece, MTG and TCG cards.
Elegant, secure, and visually stunning,
ACG slabs ensure every card is showcased like the collectible it truly is.
Phase 6 - API Integration and More ✔️
ACG has integrated advanced API automation to streamline our grading process, reducing turnaround times and minimizing the risk of errors in database entries and label creation.
This upgrade also expands our ability to grade all standard-sized TCGs, giving collectors the confidence that their Pokémon, One Piece, and trading cards can be accurately graded and securely documented.
With this foundation in place, we’re unlocking new technology enhancements, including future AI developments as we transform the way cards are graded in Australia.
Phase 7 - Top Secret
ACG is developing an innovative upgrade that will redefine card grading in Australia.
This upcoming feature is designed to shake up the industry, deliver unprecedented value to collectors, and showcase ACG’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and premium grading standards.
