Where Proof Defines Every Grade
DMD Grading is Canada’s proof-driven, precision-focused card-grading authority built for collectors who demand verified accuracy and transparent results — not templates or guesswork.
What Is DMD Grading?
Diamint Dynasty Grading (DMD) is a Canadian-built, proof-driven trading-card grading authority focused on delivering measurable precision and verifiable results. Every grade we issue is supported by image data and documented evidence — never assumption or template-based scoring.
We combine structured evaluation science with modern imaging, analytics, and category-based scoring. Each submission is reviewed under calibrated lighting and macro magnification, generating digital documentation that links directly to your card’s QR code.
DMD operates on three pillars — Transparency, Proof, and Trust. Our platform allows collectors to view grading details, photo evidence, and category breakdowns for every card they submit.
The DMD 7-Category Grading System
Every card graded by DMD is analyzed using a seven-category model that ensures consistency, transparency, and precision at every level. Each category contributes to the final grade through structured measurement — not opinion.
Centering
Evaluates front and back print alignment using proportional balance and precise edge ratios. DMD ensures equal weighting across all card sizes and orientations.
7 Sub-MeasurementsCorners
Measures corner sharpness, shape, and uniformity, differentiating between factory variance and post-production wear.
6 Sub-MeasurementsEdges
Examines perimeter consistency for chipping, cuts, and compression, recorded under high-magnification imagery.
8 Sub-MeasurementsSurface
Evaluates gloss, print quality, coating, and scratch presence using lighting-adjusted micro-scans and digital capture verification.
12+ Sub-MeasurementsIntegrity
Measures card structure, thickness, and material warping. Detects alterations, trimming, and surface stress points.
6 Sub-MeasurementsComposition
Balances category data into a unified technical score that defines card symmetry and visual-structural harmony.
5 Sub-MeasurementsPresentation
The final review — overall aesthetic cohesion and print appeal. This factor refines but never overrides structural findings.
5 Sub-MeasurementsHow DMD Grades Differently
Unlike legacy grading systems that rely on generalized templates or subjective shortcuts, DMD employs a data-based evaluation model. Each category is measured independently, recorded, and weighted for total accuracy.
The result: consistent grading outcomes supported by measurable proof, verified through digital QR-linked reports available to every collector.
