Card Centering Calculator is the ultimate tool for measuring your card's centering ratios before grading. Whether you collect Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic, baseball, basketball, football, or other trading and sports cards, the app helps you quickly measure centering, compare grading standards, and decide if your card may be worth submitting. Scan or upload a card image to calculate real-time centering ratios, such as 55/45 or 60/40, and instantly compare the highest potential centering grades from major grading companies including PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, TAG, and ACE. Wondering if your card has centering worthy of a Gem Mint 10? Measure it before you submit. --- Card Scanner With Auto Centering Detection --- Scan or upload your card and let the app automatically detect the card edges and calculate centering ratios. --- Precise Ratio Measurements --- Manually adjust measurement guides on each side of the card for precise centering calculations. Use zoom for ultra-accurate adjustments and fine-tuning. --- Measure in Pixels, Millimeters, or Inches --- Switch from percentages to real measurements. View each border's width in pixels, millimeters, or inches to double-check against calipers or calculate centering your own way. --- Saved Cards --- Save cards to your collection and come back to them later. Add tags, filter your saved cards, and keep track of cards you may want to grade, sell, trade, or review again. --- Perspective Fix Tool --- Correct skewed, angled, bent, or warped card images before measuring. The Perspective Fix tool helps straighten card edges so you can get cleaner and more accurate centering measurements. --- Grade Comparisons --- Instantly see the best possible centering grades from PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, and ACE as you adjust your card's ratios. Compare grading companies and see how each company's centering standards may affect your card. --- Front and Back Side Grading --- Measure centering for both the front and back of your card, since grading standards differ between sides. --- Pokémon e-Reader Card Mode --- Measure Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge e-Reader cards correctly. The dot-code strip makes the left and bottom borders wider by design, so e-Reader mode compares the top and right borders the way graders do and saves the setting with each card. --- Grading Standards Reference --- View centering standards from PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, and ACE in one convenient reference section. --- Cropping and Image Tools --- Crop card images, upload from your photo library, scan with the camera, or upload a card image from a URL. --- Compatible With All Cards --- Use Card Centering Calculator with TCG cards, sports cards, and other collectible cards, including Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, baseball, basketball, football, and more. Why Centering Matters: Centering plays a major role in determining a card's grade from professional grading companies. Even if a card is otherwise in excellent condition, poor centering can reduce its grade and impact its value. Card Centering Calculator helps you measure centering ratios before submitting cards for grading, giving you more information when deciding which cards to grade, sell, trade, or keep raw. Note: Card Centering Calculator focuses on measuring centering ratios. Professional grading companies such as PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, and ACE also evaluate other factors, including corners, edges, surface wear, scratches, dents, print quality, and overall condition. This app does not assess those additional grading criteria.

Is this card worth grading, and what is it worth? Measure its centering from one photo, then see what it sells for in Japan, the US and Europe. CenterMint finds the cut edge and the printed border on all four sides of a raw card, shows the left/right and top/bottom ratios, and tells you the best centering grade they allow under common published standards (PSA, BGS, CGC and more). Works with standard-size cards such as Pokémon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering and sports cards; smaller cards like Yu-Gi-Oh! can be measured too. NEW IN 2.0 • Japanese Pokémon card prices: more than 30,000 cards, from promos and high rarities to Master Ball mirrors. Pick your market (Japan in yen, the US in dollars, Europe in euros) and see recent sales and a 30-day chart. • English version prices too, when it is clearly the same card, so you can tell which print is cheaper. • No recent sales? It says so and shows a shop price or the lowest listing, clearly labeled, instead of guessing. • Follow cards and get a price alert when one moves 5%, 10% or 20% (you choose). Alerts on 3 cards are free. • Worth Grading? now finds the card in the catalog and fills in its prices for you. • Line styles made for the card in your hand: white borders, black borders and foil. • The app speaks 15 languages. Prices are for reference only, not buying or selling advice. HOW IT WORKS • Take a photo or import one. The frames are found automatically. • Not sure about a line? CenterMint takes you to the least certain one first, with the magnifier already on it. Tap "Looks Right" to move on, or nudge it a pixel at a time with the magnifier, pixel grid and edge profile. • Save the front and back as a pair, search your history, and share a clean image. FREE • Automatic centering for raw cards, a 1x–50x magnifier and manual adjustment • Border widths in mm or inches • Corner and edge close-ups on 3 cards a week, one batch of up to 5 photos a week, Worth Grading? on one card • Card prices, the 30-day chart and alerts on 3 cards The free version shows ads. CENTERMINT PRO No ads, graded prices (PSA 10, PSA 9 and more) with full history, unlimited price alerts, Worth Grading?, corner and edge close-ups, a submission log, a decision assistant that sorts cards into submit / fix first / below target, batch scanning of up to 50 photos, a submission checklist PDF, report images, 4K enhanced view and export, CSV export and saved presets.

Manage them in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW • Automatic measurement is for raw cards. For a card in a sleeve, top loader or slab, you line up the edges yourself; CenterMint tells you when it sees a sleeve. • It measures centering only. Corners, edges and surface are for your own eyes, and no grade is ever promised. • Centering standards are references based on each company's published guidelines. CenterMint is an independent app, not affiliated with PSA, Beckett (BGS), CGC or any grading company, or with any card publisher. Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering are trademarks of their respective owners. Measurement runs on your device and needs no account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CenterMint at every 3 days against Card Centering Calculator's monthly. CenterMint also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Card Centering Calculator's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
