True Grade is an auto-grading and pricing sports card service for individuals who are looking for a quicker and easier way to have their cards graded. Users can create an account that will allow them to take a photo of their card, grade it on the spot, and save their card in a collection for their records. Cards are graded based on these factors: Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface. True Grade gives each attribute a grade of 1-10, then combines those to give the card a final grade of 1-10. After receiving a grade, users can utilize True Grade’s pricing feature to discover what their card is worth based on recent market sales.
