Image Quality Analysis
Good — 75/100GlareLighting: unevenBackground: distracting
Photo issues
- glare
- uneven lighting / shadow across part of the card
To help our card-detection AI isolate your Magic Johnson card's true edges for the most accurate assessment, try photographing it against a plain surface whose color contrasts with the card's border. Additionally, there is a bright glare coming from the right side that affects the right border area and may limit how accurately the card could be evaluated; shifting your lighting source away from the right will eliminate that reflection. The busy background can make edge detection difficult, but using even, soft lighting and a high-contrast background will give the grading model a clearer view.

💡
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.
