ISA Cert Validator was built for collectors, dealers, and owners of sports cards, trading cards, and collectible cards that have been graded by ISA Grading. The app gives you a fast way to validate the certification details connected to an ISA graded card, whether you are checking a card from your own collection, reviewing a potential purchase, or confirming the information printed on an ISA grading label. Quickly search by entering the certificate serial number from the ISA label, or scan the QR code on an ISA graded trading card. When a matching certification record is found, the app displays available card details such as year, set, parallel or variation information, card number, player or character name, authenticated date, assigned grade, grade label, and population information for that grade when available. ISA Cert Validator is especially useful for sports card and trading card collectors who want a simple way to confirm that the card in hand matches the ISA certification record. It can help verify graded baseball cards, basketball cards, football cards, hockey cards, soccer cards, Marvel cards, nonsport cards, TCG cards, and other ISA graded collectibles.
