TGP for Australia
Card grading from Australia
Collecting in Australia and want to grade your Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball or Yu-Gi-Oh! cards? TGP is a card grading service based in Bangkok, Thailand. You send us your cards; we authenticate, grade and seal them, then ship them back to your address in Australia.
This page explains how it works from Australia: sending your cards, return shipping, prices and payment.
Why choose TGP from Australia?
- Closer: Bangkok is much closer to Australia than the big grading companies in the United States, so your cards travel less.
- Clear turnaround: 30 business days with Standard, 15 business days with Express, 24–48 business hours with VIP, plus shipping.
- Clear prices: from 384 ฿ (≈ A$17) per card, published on our website, with the total shown before you pay.
- Every game, every language: Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic and sports cards, in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Thai and more.
- Transparency: a public 1–10 scale in half points, an online certificate with QR code and a stamped paper certificate.
How to send your cards from Australia
- Order online on TGP and note your order number.
- Put each card in a new sleeve and a top loader, and pack them tightly in a box with your order number.
- Ship the parcel with a tracked international postal or courier service to the address we email you.
- Declare the contents honestly (collectible trading cards). The parcel may be inspected by customs and taxes or fees may apply under the rules in force.
For valuable cards, we recommend insuring your parcel to TGP with your carrier.
Return shipping to Australia
Your graded cards come back by Thailand Post international mail, with tracking. Return shipping is priced by the real weight of the parcel, and the exact amount is shown before you pay.
The tracking number appears in your TGP account as soon as your cards ship. Return insurance is only available for deliveries within Thailand.
Prices and payment
Prices are in Thai baht (฿); the amounts in Australian dollars on this page are an indication at today's rate. The price per card goes down with the number of cards you send, and the exact total, return shipping included, is shown before you pay.
You pay online by international card (Visa, Mastercard…), Apple Pay or crypto (USDT, USDC). The amount is charged in baht; your bank converts it and may add its own fees.
Good to know before sending
- We do not accept cards still sealed in another grading company's slab (PSA, BGS, CGC…), thick patch cards or oversized cards.
- Do not clean your cards before sending them: home cleaning can leave marks on the surface.
- A grade is a professional opinion on the condition of the card on the day of the examination. Each grading company has its own method, so a TGP grade is not the same as a grade from another company.
Frequently asked questions
- Will I pay taxes when my cards come back?
- Possibly, depending on the customs and tax rules in force when the cards enter Thailand and when they come back to Australia. Always declare the contents honestly.
- Can I pay in Australian dollars?
- Payment is always made in Thai baht. With an international card, your bank converts the amount automatically.
- Can I track my cards?
- Yes. In your TGP account you follow each grading step, then the tracking number of your return parcel.
