CardGrade uses your card photos to review visible condition and estimate a PSA outcome before you submit. Create an account, upload the required images, and use the report as one input alongside your own inspection and current grading costs.
Account required. Eligible new accounts receive one AI grade without a purchase. Estimates are not official grades, authentication, or appraisals.
CardGrade is an image-based condition pre-screen. It can flag visible centering, corner, edge, and surface signals and return an estimated PSA outcome. It cannot handle the card, see defects hidden by glare or image quality, authenticate the physical card, detect every alteration, or guarantee the grade PSA will assign.
Compare submission candidates, identify areas to inspect again, and decide which cards deserve closer physical review before you pay a professional grading fee.
Promise a buyer a future PSA grade, verify authenticity, replace sold-comparable research, or skip PSA's physical inspection and final grading decision.
CardGrade Intelligence reviews visible signals across 16 inspection zones, then returns an estimated outcome and a condition report for you to review.
Visible front and back alignment, including measurements you can compare with PSA’s published standards.
Sharpness and any softening, fraying, or whitening at all four corners.
Visible whitening, nicks, and chipping in the images you supply.
Visible scratches, print lines, and gloss issues; glare or low resolution can hide defects.
Among 62,307 completed reports in this dataset, 14,160 (22.7%) recorded an overall CardGrade score from 9.5 to 10. This is descriptive CardGrade data—not a PSA population report, a training-set count, or your card's personal probability of receiving a PSA 10.

Across the completed reports in this snapshot, corners has the lowest average CardGrade subscore at 9.01. That aggregate result does not determine your card's estimate or explain every professional grading result. Review your own card and pre-check alignment with our card centering tool before deciding whether to submit.
The table summarizes average CardGrade scores for categories with at least 50 completed reports. Category averages reflect different eras, products, conditions, image quality, and submission choices. They are not PSA gem rates or a forecast for an individual card.

Create an account →Compare front and back alignment with PSA’s published standards instead of relying on a visual estimate alone.
Use centering tool →Use angled light and magnification to look for edge wear, dents, creases, scratches, and print defects that photos can hide.
Read the condition guide →Compare conservative sold prices with grading, shipping, insurance, selling fees, and the risk of a lower result before submitting.
Use the pre-grading checklist →The PSA 10 Chances guide explains published condition standards and aggregate completed CardGrade report data. It provides a checklist and context, not an individualized probability.
Review PSA 10 standards and aggregate data →After creating an account, upload the required card images. CardGrade Intelligence reviews visible centering, corner, edge, and surface signals across 16 inspection zones and returns estimated PSA, BGS, and CGC outcomes with a condition report. The estimate is not an official grade.
An account is required to submit card images. Eligible new accounts receive one full AI grade without a purchase. After that eligible first grade, another available grading credit is required.
No. CardGrade provides an image-based condition estimate. Only PSA can authenticate the physical card and assign an official PSA grade after inspecting it. The estimate can differ because of image quality, glare, hidden defects, handling, or the professional grader’s physical inspection.
No. A photo-based pre-screen cannot verify the physical card’s authenticity, identify every alteration, or provide a professional appraisal. Verify the card independently and use recent completed sales for market evidence.
Use sharp, well-lit front and back images with the card flat, fully visible, and free from sleeves, holders, glare, heavy shadows, or filters. Review the physical card yourself because a photo can hide scratches, dents, creases, staining, and edge wear.
CardGrade supports Pokemon and other TCG cards as well as sports cards, and its report includes estimated PSA, BGS, and CGC outcomes. Support does not mean every card, finish, defect, or alteration can be evaluated reliably from photos.
