Status: In validation - Inventory acceptance and grader workflows are being evaluated. BRG and CGC are not announced Iruka partners.
Iruka separates pack rarity, physical condition, authentication, and custody. No single certificate or label proves all four.

Two Verification Tracks

The final acceptance policy will be published before commercial inventory is listed. A low-value item is not automatically lower quality; it may use a different verification track because third-party grading can exceed the value of the card.

Graders Under Evaluation

  • BRG publishes its grading process and certificate database. Iruka is evaluating its 12-step inspection model and record availability for eligible Korean photocards.
  • CGC Cards verification provides an official certificate lookup. Iruka is evaluating CGC’s 10-point grading records for eligible slab inventory.
Reference to an official grading service does not establish a partnership, endorsement, or acceptance guarantee. Iruka must verify the specific certificate in the grader’s official database and match it to the physical item received.

Public Inventory Record

An eligible public card record uses the following fields: Records without a third-party certificate use grader: Iruka verification, leave certificateNumber empty, and publish the applicable condition and intake evidence instead of inventing a grade.

Verification States

Verified is not the same as Vaulted. Vault status also requires custody, storage location, ownership, and redemption records to agree.

Vault Eligibility Gate

A card can be marked Vaulted only when:
  1. The exact physical item has arrived.
  2. Front, back, and identifying marks match the record.
  3. Any certificate is valid in the official database.
  4. The seal and condition are recorded.
  5. The storage location is assigned.
  6. The ownership record references the same inventoryId.
  7. Redemption eligibility has been determined.
A valid certificate number without the matching physical item is insufficient.
