Measure the card before you pay to grade it.

The grader turns photos from your phone into measured centering, corners, edges and squareness, so you get an honest estimate of a card's condition before you send it off and pay the fee.

The preview measures centering, corners, edges and squareness. It is an estimate, not a grade. It runs on your phone, needs no account, and your photos never leave it.

How it works

Three steps on your phone. The guide does the fiddly part.

  1. Set the card down

    Out of its sleeve, on a plain surface that contrasts with its border, in even light with no flash.

  2. Let the guide take the shots

    The front, the back, then each corner up close. The guide finds the card's outline and the phone's level, and takes each photo itself when the phone is flat, square and still.

  3. Read the measurements

    Centering as the ratios graders use, and corners, edges and the cut, each against the published grading bands.

An estimate, said plainly

A grading company looks at the card in hand under a lamp. A photo cannot see everything, so the grader tells a collector what it measured and what it did not.

The camera is only asked for on the preview itself, when you press its button, and your browser asks you first. Open the grader preview.
