Founder
Luke Billyard — Founder & Director
Luke founded RKT Grading after years of paying overseas grading fees, customs duties and shipping insurance to grade his own collection. The company exists because he wanted a UK grader that didn't cut corners and didn't take six months.
For interview requests, availability is best arranged via email. Comment on industry-wide topics (UK card collecting, grading consistency, NFC authentication) is welcome.
