Our StoryStory
CCA Universe is the premier authentication and grading authority for TCG collectors, born from a lifetime of passion and a commitment to perfection.
FROM THE SHACK TO
THE UNIVERSE.THE UNIVERSE.
Founded in 2022 in Southern California, CCA's roots run deep in the TCG community. Our journey began decades ago with a young collector's obsession of Pokémon and trading cards to a spark that was reignited with massive intensity in 2020.
What started as a passion project quickly evolved. After owning and operating a local card shop in Huntington Beach, it became clear that the industry needed a new standard. One that combined deep hobby knowledge with next-generation authentication technology.
The shop was sold, the system was built, and CCA Universe was born. Today, we are headquartered in SoCal, bringing that same local shop integrity to a global grading audience.
