Notorious Design Group Graffiti Artist Trading Cards Earn Beckett Gem Mint 9.5 Grades

Notorious Design Group’s Graffiti Artist Trading Card Collection has reached a new grading milestone.

The company announced that the first two NDG Graffiti Artist Trading Cards submitted to Beckett Grading Services each earned Gem Mint 9.5 grades. The announcement comes as the street art trading card series continues to gain attention following multiple sold-out releases.

According to Notorious Design Group, Drop One of the Graffiti Artist Trading Card Collection sold out twice, including after a restock. Drop Two also sold out during its initial launch window. The company said the results show growing demand for the cards as it prepares for Drop Three.

The cards feature artists from the graffiti and street art world, with releases structured around limited drops.

The Beckett grades give the series another point of recognition inside the trading card market. A BGS 9.5 Gem Mint grade is one of Beckett’s top condition grades and places the submitted cards in high-grade collectible territory.

The company said the graded results support its belief that graffiti artist cards can stand alongside more traditional trading card categories. Sports cards, Pokémon cards and entertainment cards have long had established collector markets, while graffiti artist cards are a newer format.

Notorious Design Group is positioning the series as both a collectible product and a cultural archive. The company said the collection is built around the artists, stories and visual language of graffiti, with each drop giving collectors another group of cards to chase.

The momentum comes as NDG prepares its third drop. The company said demand has continued to build after the sellouts of the first two releases, while the Beckett grades add third-party grading validation to the young card line.
