How accurate is the AI Pokémon card grading?

PokemonCardChecker's AI provides condition estimates and grade predictions based on image analysis. Results are most accurate with clear, well-lit photos of both front and back. Always treat AI estimates as guidance rather than a guaranteed professional grade.

How does AI Pokémon card grading work?

You upload a photo of your card and the AI analyses four condition factors — centering, edges, corners, and surface — scoring each from 0 to 10. It combines these into an overall condition label (NM, LP, MP, HP or DMG) and an estimated PSA grade range, then matches the identified card against market data to produce raw and graded price estimates.

Is PokemonCardChecker free to use?

Yes. Every account starts with 5 free scans and no credit card is required. You earn 10 additional scans for each friend who signs up through your referral link, so the tool can be used entirely for free.

What card conditions can the AI detect?

PokemonCardChecker grades cards into five condition tiers: NM (Near Mint), LP (Lightly Played), MP (Moderately Played), HP (Heavily Played), and DMG (Damaged). It also reports individual centering, edges, corners, and surface scores that explain the overall grade.
