How to Register Your Slab on SlabProof: Step-by-Step Guide

Registering a slab on SlabProof takes about 60 seconds. Here's the complete walkthrough — from entering your cert number to sharing your provenance page with buyers.

Before You Start You'll need the following information from your slab's label: - Grading company (PSA, BGS, CGC, CSG, SGC, or Other) - Cert number (printed on the label, usually 7-10 digits) - Card name and description - Grade - Card year (optional but recommended)

If you're a first-time user, you'll also create a free account during the registration process. If you already have an account, sign in first.

Step 1: Start the Registration Go to slabproof.com/register. Click 'Register Your Slab.' The registration form opens to Step 1 of 3: Slab Details.

Step 2: Enter Slab Details Fill in the form fields: - Grading Company: Select from the dropdown. If your grader isn't listed, select 'Other' and type the name. - Cert Number: Enter the exact cert number from your slab's label. This is the critical field — it links your provenance record to the grader's registry. Double-check it. - Card Name / Description: Enter a clear, searchable description. Include the player/character name, year, set name, and any notable variants. Example: '1986-87 Fleer Michael Jordan RC' - Grade: Select the grade from the dropdown. For BGS slabs with sub-grades, you can enter the individual sub-grades in the optional fields. - Card Category: Select the most appropriate category — Sports Card, Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Comic Book, or Other. - Year: Enter the card's production year if known. This helps with future searchability. - Estimated Value (optional): Used for stolen-slab alert thresholds and is not publicly displayed.

Click 'Continue to Identity Verification.'

Step 3: Create or Log Into Your Account If you're new to SlabProof, enter your email and create a password. You'll also be prompted to certify that you're the current legal owner of the slab — this is the ownership attestation that anchors the provenance record to your identity.

Optional: if you want to link your provenance record to a crypto wallet for additional blockchain anchoring (powered by the Cerfinity™ network), you can add your wallet address here.

Step 4: Review and Submit Step 3 shows a complete summary of everything you've entered. Review it carefully — especially the cert number. Once submitted, the cert number is part of your permanent provenance record and cannot be changed (to prevent tampering with the historical record).

Click 'Create Provenance Record.' The Cerfinity™ infrastructure timestamps your record and issues your SlabProof ID.

Your SlabProof ID Your slab now has a SlabProof ID in the format SP-YYYY-XXXXX. This ID is: - The unique identifier for your slab's provenance record - Permanently linked to your cert number and ownership attestation - The key buyers will use to verify your slab's history before purchase - The reference for any future ownership transfers

Share Your Provenance Page Every registered slab has a public provenance page at slabproof.com/slab/[your-ID]. This page is publicly accessible — no account required for buyers to view it. Copy the link and include it in: - eBay listing descriptions - Whatnot stream overlays and descriptions - Discord marketplace posts - Direct messages to prospective buyers - Card show table materials
