Card photographed inside a rigid holder
Plastic and the case rim hide corner, edge and surface detail, and the holder window can throw off the centering measurement. This grade may be optimistic - remove the card from the holder and rescan for a full evaluation.

Image Quality Analysis

Photo issues
- card_in_holder
- hands_visible
- uneven lighting — part of the card sits in shadow
Visible card condition
- soft corner wear on top-left and top-right corners
- minor edge roughness along top border
Card features detected
- Autograph visible on card
The hand-signed autograph from Wayne Gretzky is clearly captured, but the card is currently inside a clear holder and being held by hand. Reflective plastic and visible fingers introduce glare, cast shadows, and obscure fine edge details, which can limit how accurately the card is evaluated. For the clearest analysis, remove the card from the holder and place it flat on a solid, contrasting surface under balanced lighting.

💡
Not getting the grade you expected?
Your photo quality directly affects the AI's ability to read your card accurately. Here are the most common things that can affect your grade — and how to fix them:
🖼️
Use a plain background
Patterned or colorful backgrounds make it harder for the AI to detect your card's true edges. Place your card on a solid white or light-colored surface before photographing.
🃏
Scan raw cards — no sleeves or toploaders
Penny sleeves and toploaders reflect light and blur fine details. The AI can't accurately assess corners, edges, or surface through plastic. Remove all holders before scanning.
🔍
Fill the frame — get close
The more of the image your card occupies, the more detail the AI can see. Small or distant cards lose corner sharpness and surface detail. Crop in so the card fills most of the photo.
💡
Use even, shadow-free lighting
Shadows, glare, and camera flash create artifacts that look like surface defects to the AI. Use soft, diffused lighting from multiple angles — or scan on a flatbed scanner for the most consistent results.
📐
Keep the card flat and straight
A tilted or bent card distorts centering measurements and can create false edge wear readings. Place the card flat on a solid surface and shoot directly from above.
✅ Fix these issues and rescan — you'll often see better grade on the second attempt. Every credit saves you from wasting a $25–$80 grading submission fee.
