Raw cards vs graded cards
Raw cards and graded cards serve different collector goals. TOKIO focuses on clearer graded-card ownership context.
Raw cards
A raw card is not sealed in a grading-company holder. Raw cards are common for binders, set collecting, and personal collections, but condition can be harder to verify from photos alone.
Graded cards
A graded card is authenticated and assigned a grade by a grading company, then sealed in a protective holder. Collectors often call these slabs.
Why TOKIO uses grading context
Graded-card details make a reveal easier to understand after opening. The grade, card identity, and collection record help explain what you own and what options may be available next.
