35mm-75MM Film Grading: The Industry’s First & Only.
Stop Hiding Your History. Grade Your Cinema.
The hobby is evolving. From the neon glow of Pokémon and the magic of Disney to the epic galaxies of Star Wars, collectors are rediscovering the beauty of authentic 35mm film. Whether you’ve acquired a full reel or have carefully hand-cut your favorite single frames, 2-cell pairings, or 5-to-7 cell strips—Collector’s Grade is the only grading service in the world that treats your film with the same professional rigor as a 1st Edition Holo.
We don’t just "encapsulate." We grade.
The Collector’s Grade Standard: What We Look For
Just like a high-end trading card, a film cell carries a "grade" that defines its history and value. Our experts put every frame under the lens to evaluate:
- The Edge Cut: Was it a clean, professional separation, or are there jagged edges?
- Surface Clarity: We hunt for surface scratches, "hairlines," and abrasions that distract from the image.
- Film Integrity: We check for "cinematic wear"—looking for wrinkles, creases, or "heat melting" from vintage projector jams.
- Color Preservation: We assess the vibrancy and condition of the emulsion to ensure the "soul" of the movie is still there.
Why Grade Your Film with CG?
1. The Only Game in Town
You won't find this at PSA. You won't find this at Beckett. Collector’s Grade is the pioneer. We are the only company with the specialized knowledge to officially grade and slab 35mm film frames.
2. Permanent Archival Protection
Film is organic and fragile. Exposure to oils from your skin, dust, and humidity can destroy a frame in years. Our slabs provide a rigid, archival-safe barrier that freezes that moment in time forever.
3. Museum-Quality Documentation
Our labels don’t just say "Film." We document the Year, the Movie, and the Specific Scene. Whether it's a German-language title card, a credit roll, or an iconic character close-up, your label will tell the world exactly what piece of history you own.
What We Accept:
- Single Frames: The perfect "card-sized" cinematic gem.
- 2,3 & 4 Cell Strips: Double the action, double the story.
- 5-to-7 Cell Strips: For those who want the full "motion" of the scene preserved,
For the People. For the History. For the Collector.
Don't let your film reels sit in a dark tin. Bring them into the light. Get them graded. Get them protected. Join the cinematic revolution only at Collector’s Grade
Please Note: 1,2,3 & 4 cell strips are standard size - 5-7 cell strips are Jumbo size
