Absolutely not. Grading services have strict policies against grading counterfeit cards. It's all about preserving the integrity of the hobby and ensuring collectors are getting the real deal. No professional service wants to touch fakes with a ten-foot pole.

lol imagine sending a fake card to get graded. Save yourself the embarrassment and the shipping cost. Grading services will spot a fake a mile away and just send it back.

Nope, fake Pokemon cards can't be officially graded. Professional grading services like PSA, BGS, or CGC only grade genuine cards to verify their authenticity and condition. They're pretty good at spotting fakes, so those knock-offs won't make it past their doors!

I sent a card I wasn't 100% sure about to PSA once and got it back with a note saying they couldn't grade it as they suspected it wasn't authentic. So based on firsthand experience, no, they won't grade your fakes.
