Card photographed in a sleeve
The plastic softens fine surface detail and adds glare. This grade may be optimistic - remove the card from the sleeve and rescan for a full evaluation.

Deep shadow
Sleeve/HolderGlareLighting: unevenBackground: patterned fabric surface
Photo issues
- glare_reflection
- uneven lighting / shadow across part of the card
- blown-out highlights on the top — glare is hiding detail
There is a noticeable glare hotspot across the upper center section, along with blown-out highlights from an overhead light source directly above that hide surface detail. Additionally, the card appears to be inside a soft protective sleeve, which introduces extra reflections and can limit how accurately the card could be evaluated. For best results, remove the card from the sleeve, angle your lighting slightly to eliminate bright reflections, and photograph it against a plain, contrasting surface rather than a patterned fabric surface so the AI can isolate the card's true edges cleanly.

💡
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.
