When to Use PreGradeCards

  • Before submitting to PSA: Filter out cards that won't grade a 9 or 10.
  • Buying Raw Cards: Quickly assess condition before purchasing online or at shows.
  • Checking Centering: PSA is strict on centering (60/40 front). Our tool measures this precisely.

When to Use PSA

  • Maximizing Resale Value: PSA 10s command the highest premiums in the hobby.
  • Authentication: Ensure the card is genuine and not altered.
  • Encapsulation: Protect the card permanently in a sonic-welded slab.
