At CardHawk, we don’t just handle PSA grading — we understand the stories behind the cards.
We are collectors and dealers with a deep knowledge of vintage football (soccer), cricket, tennis, golf and also lots of experience with TCG/Pokemon. We deal in cards, albums, programmes, postcards and all other types of ephemera related to "The Hobby".
Whether it’s an 1880s rookie, or a 1996 Merlin Premier League sticker we know that every card carries history, emotion, and potential. That’s why we’ve built CardHawk as a UK‑based, collector‑first website. Due to our own frustrations with navigating the grading process, especially in a post-tariff word, we built our own submission service that blends operational excellence with deep vintage card expertise. We are also PSA Authorised dealers; part of a small trusted group of PSA dealers.
Born from the Binder: Our Vintage Roots
Cardhawk was founded by collectors, for collectors. We’ve spent years studying the UK card scene — from cigarette cards to sticker albums toall manner of ephemera.
We know the difference between a rookie sticker pulled from a cereal box and a card stored in a binder since 1960. We understand why a PSA 10 isn’t just about centering — it’s about provenance, care, condition and print anomalies.
Why UK Collectors Trust Cardhawk
Submitting directly to PSA from the UK can be a minefield: customs delays, VAT charges, and unpredictable shipping costs. Cardhawk removes the friction by offering:
• Customs‑Free PSA Grading – No surprise fees or paperwork headaches.
• Transparent Pricing – Clear tiers, no hidden charges. Honest about whats in and whats not in the price.
• Insurance & Tracking – Peace of mind from submission to slab.
• Vintage Card Expertise – We know what’s worth grading — and why.
Whether you’re sending a single grail or a bulk submission, we treat every card like it’s part of a legacy.
Our Mission: Preserve, Protect, Provenance
We believe grading isn’t just about condition — it’s about credibility. A PSA slab tells the market your card is real, rare, and ready. But for UK collectors, that process has been anything but simple. Added to that, grading means that card is protected for eternity - no chance of a tear, crease, stain or bump due to it being mishandled or accidentally dropped.
CardHawk exists to change that. We’re here to make PSA grading accessible, transparent, and collector‑driven — with a special focus on vintage cards that deserve proper recognition.
