Image Quality Analysis

Good — 75/100
GlareLighting: uneven
Photo issues
  • glare_hotspot
  • uneven lighting / shadow across part of the card
There is noticeable light glare and haze originating from the top right that casts light streaks across the upper section of the card, which can obscure surface texture and fine print. For the most accurate inspection, try diffusing your light source or adjusting overhead lighting angles to prevent direct reflections from washing out the glossy finish. The dark background provides strong edge contrast, which helps isolate the card borders clearly.

Not graded
We couldn't isolate the card in the back photo, so no back grade was produced — the add-on charge was refunded. Retake it straight-on with the entire card inside the frame on a plain contrasting background.

💡

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.
