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. The grade above is capped at 8 - remove the card from the holder and rescan for a full evaluation.

A grade is only as high as the photo can prove. Retake in sharp focus, out of the sleeve, with even light and no glare — the card may grade higher.

Limiting factor
Centering is the weakest sub-grade at 6.5. PSA is strict; BGS/CGC moderate. Next concern: Surface 8.0
Surface inspection
Surface Lab
Five ways to see why the surface scored what it did — magnify the marks, trace the scratches, rake light across the surface. Open any tool to inspect the card yourself.

Image Quality Analysis
Fair — 65/100Blown / glare
Deep shadow
Sleeve/HolderGlareLighting: too bright
Photo issues
- blown-out highlights on the top-left and left and center and right — glare is hiding detail
Visible card condition
- top edge slight roughness
- slight corner tip softness
The image features strong sharpness and high contrast against the dark background, but bright glare across the surface hides fine detail and may limit how accurately the card could be evaluated. The card is currently resting inside a holder, which often introduces these reflections and surface artifacts; removing it from the holder allows our AI to assess the corners, edges, and surface with maximum precision. Diffusing your light source will also help reduce blown-out highlights across the card.

Sometimes our AI isn't perfect. Let us know — if we agree, you'll get your credits back.
💡
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.
