GlareBlurryLighting: uneven
Photo issues
  • glare_hotspot
  • card_near_frame_edge
  • uneven lighting / shadow across part of the card
  • blurry
  • blown-out highlights on the center — glare is hiding detail
An intense reflection creates blown-out highlights that wash out surface details in the holographic window, while the noticeable softness smears fine textures and limits accurate surface and corner inspection. Try diffusing your light source and tapping to ensure sharp focus so the card-detection AI can clearly evaluate microscopic details. Additionally, the card sits very close to the right edge of the photo, so leaving a margin of clear background on all sides ensures no border is accidentally clipped during processing.

💡

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.
