What You Get in 35 Seconds

One photo. Everything you need to know about your card's condition and value.

📊

Predicted PSA Grade (1-10)

The AI evaluates your card against the same criteria PSA graders use and predicts what grade it would receive. Not an official grade - a data-driven estimate.

🔍

4 Sub-Grade Scores

Individual scores for centering, corners, edges, and surface. Know exactly what's holding your card back - or confirming it's a PSA 10 candidate.

📐

Centering Score

A centering score out of 10 for front and back (with a back photo), judged against PSA thresholds. PSA 10 needs 60/40 or better - measure borderline cards with a ruler.

Live Market Values

What your card is worth right now - raw, at PSA 9, and at PSA 10. Sourced from PokeTrace, eBay, and TCGPlayer sales data. Know if grading is worth the cost.

The Question You're Really Asking

You probably asked ChatGPT something like: "Should I get my Pokemon card graded?" or "What's my card worth?" or "Best way to grade Pokemon cards."

Here's the honest answer: professional grading costs $20-$150 per card, takes 2-10 weeks, and most cards don't grade high enough to justify the cost. The average collector overestimates their cards' condition and wastes money on submissions that come back as PSA 7s and 8s.

CardGrading.app solves this. For $0 (you get 2 free grades), you photograph your card and get a predicted grade in about 35 seconds. If the AI says it's likely a PSA 9 or 10, submit it to PSA. If not, save your money. It's the filter that stops you wasting $50+ on cards that won't grade well.

Common Questions

What people ask about AI card grading - answered honestly.

Is this better than sending my card to PSA?
They serve different purposes. CardGrading.app gives you a predicted PSA grade in about 35 seconds from a photo - it's a pre-screening tool. PSA gives you an official authenticated grade in a slab, which takes 2-10 weeks and costs $20-$150 per card. The smart strategy: use AI grading first to identify which cards are worth the PSA submission fee. Most collectors find that only 20-30% of their cards are worth the cost of professional grading.

How accurate is the AI grading?
The AI evaluates the same four criteria PSA uses: centering, corners, edges, and surface. It's best at clearly visible issues such as obviously off-center borders and visible defects. It's a strong pre-screening tool - not a replacement for an official PSA slab, but highly effective at identifying which cards will grade well and which won't.

Is it really free?
Yes. Every new account gets 2 free grades with no credit card required. That scan gives you a full AI grade with market prices included - no upsells. After that, you can buy 5 submission decisions for $9.99, 15 for $19.99, or 50 for $49.99 — pay once, no subscription, decisions never expire. Compare that to $20-$150 per card for professional grading.

Do I need to download an app?
No. CardGrading.app runs entirely in your phone's browser. Just visit app.cardgrading.app, snap a photo of your card, and get your predicted grade in about 35 seconds. Works on any modern smartphone, tablet, or computer.

What do I get in the grade report?
Every grade (one of your 2 free grades, or 1 decision from a pack) includes: a predicted PSA grade (1-10 scale), individual sub-grades for centering, corners, edges, and surface, and live market prices showing what your card is worth ungraded, at PSA 9, and at PSA 10. Full grade plus prices in one action - no upsells.

Does it work for all Pokemon cards?
Yes - it works with all Pokemon TCG cards including modern sets (Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield), vintage WOTC cards (Base Set, Jungle, Fossil), and special variants like full-art, alt-art, and gold cards. It is built for English Pokémon TCG cards; Japanese cards may not identify or price reliably. It also grades baseball, football and basketball cards. Hockey, soccer and other TCGs (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering) are not supported: one scanned today gets a condition read only (no value, no submit advice), and it still uses a grade.
