AI grading is instant! Once you upload clear photos of your card, our system analyzes the condition and provides a detailed pre-grade report in under 30 seconds. This includes centering measurements, corner analysis, edge assessment, and surface evaluation.

Our AI uses industry-standard grading scales similar to PSA (1-10) and BGS (1-10) with detailed sub-grades for centering, corners, edges, and surface. You can choose which grading standard you prefer for your analysis.

No, do not clean cards before grading as this can damage the surface and affect the grade. Our AI analyzes the card in its current condition. Light surface dirt or fingerprints are factored into the surface grade appropriately.
