Photo issues
blown-out highlights on the top-left and top and top-right and center and left — glare is hiding detail
All four corners and borders are clearly visible against the contrasting background. Note that this image features a prominent semi-transparent 'SAMPLE' watermark overlaid across the center, which appears to be part of a promotional preview image rather than physical card damage. Note: the lighting is uneven — the top-left and top and top-right and center and left areas are blown out by glare. Deep shadow can hide real corner and surface wear while blown highlights erase texture, so the read here may differ from an evenly-lit shot — soft, diffuse light (indirect daylight or a lamp bounced off a wall) gives a more accurate read.

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.
