Exordium 6, LLC is a CGC Authorized Dealer that provides secure, personal transport of trading cards and comic books to and from Certified Guaranty Company (CGC). Your collectibles are never mailed and never handled by third-party carriers. Items remain in our direct possession from pick-up through return.
Traditional submissions rely on postal or third-party shipping services. Our service eliminates shipping risks by offering hand-delivered transport, controlled handling, and insured custody while items are in our possession. This is ideal for high-value, sentimental, or hard-to-replace collectibles.
No. Items are not mailed, shipped, or subcontracted at any time. All transport is completed personally by Exordium 6.

Yes. Exordium 6 carries liability insurance under its LLC that covers loss or damage while items are in our direct possession during transport.
Insurance coverage does not apply while items are held or processed by CGC.
Once submitted, CGC takes possession of your items for grading, encapsulation, and processing. At that point, CGC’s policies and timelines apply. Exordium 6 is not responsible for grading outcomes or delays caused by CGC.
The expected turnaround time is 60 days or less, depending on CGC’s current processing volume. While we make every reasonable effort to meet this estimate, timelines are ultimately controlled by CGC.
