Smart Grade is a pregrade and condition estimate. It is designed to help collectors understand a card before listing, trading or submitting it for professional grading. It is not issued by, affiliated with, or guaranteed to match PSA, BGS, CGC or another grading company.

What Smart Grade Looks At
More than a single score.
The system examines defined card regions so the result can explain where condition issues appear.
Front and back corner wear, whitening, chipping and visible damage are assessed region by region.
Top, right, bottom and left edges are checked on both sides for wear, whitening and chipping.
Surface regions are assessed for scratches, creases, dents, ink loss, print lines and other visible defects.
Border balance is measured front and back, including left-to-right and top-to-bottom ratios.

Understand which areas helped or hurt the condition and grade estimate.
Keep results linked to your collection so you can compare copies and monitor condition over time.
Use Smart Grade before listing a card, accepting a trade or deciding whether professional grading is worth it.
