Official 6-Stage Forensic Verification Protocol

1. 100x Optical Microscopy

Polarized light inspection ensuring the hermetic sonic weld of the PSA/BGS acrylic slab is 100% factory original without cracking or re-sealing.

4. PSA/BGS Registry Synchronization

Querying the official PSA Cert database via API to confirm card description, certification number, and grade validity.

5. Climate-Controlled Vault Custody

Maintained at constant 20°C and 45% relative humidity in reinforced fireproof and waterproof safes at Vanguard Business Park.

6. Tamper-Evident Transit Packing
