Grade your Pokémon card

Upload clear photos of your card — front and back at minimum — and get an instant condition estimate.

Your first grade is free — no account needed. Then sign up for a free account and get another 25 grades, completely free of charge.

What to upload

Two photos — the front and the back — taken with your phone's own camera app, then uploaded here. Use the normal camera rather than this page's: a file from your camera app is a full-resolution still with focus and exposure already set, which is the only kind of photograph a grade can be measured from.

Lay the card flat on a plain, dark surface. Take it out of the sleeve if you can — a sleeve's own edge is easy to mistake for the card's.

Grading a card here takes two photos you have to go and take first. When the app ships it will do the same job from the camera in one pass — frame the card, get the grade, no files to find. It is not out yet, so nothing on this page links to a store.

  • Square on, whole card in frame, all four edges visible with a little space around them.

  • Not at an angle, and never with an edge cropped off — the edges are what gets measured.

  • No flash and no glare across the face. Even, indirect light.

Drop your card photos here — front and back is enough to start.

How to take good photos

  1. Front and back, at a minimumBoth faces are graded. Two photos is the floor; more angles only ever help.
  2. Straight on, not at an angleHold the camera parallel to the card and fill the frame. A square-on photo is what lets the centering be measured rather than estimated.
  3. Add close-ups of the corners and edgesCorners and edges are where most grades are lost, and they are the hardest thing to see in a whole-card shot.
  4. Even light, no flashFlash blows out holo cards and hides surface scratches. Daylight or a soft lamp, angled off to one side, shows the surface as it really is.
