Frequently Asked Questions

This tool provides a simulated estimate based on common grading factors (centering, corners, edges, surface). It does not perform advanced image-based grading on your specific card. Use it as a guide, not a definitive grade.

Upload clear, well-lit photos of the entire front and back of the raw card (not in a slab). Use a plain background and avoid glare/reflections.

No strict daily limit. The “Cards scanned today” counter is just informational for your session.

For the cleanest photo and best estimate, remove sleeves/top loaders when possible. Reflections and sleeve scratches can affect what you see in the image.
