WHAT YOU CAN GRADE • Pokémon (English & Japanese) • Sports: Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer • Magic: The Gathering • Lorcana • One Piece • Yu-Gi-Oh • Star Wars, Marvel, and more under "Other Non-Sports Cards" HOW IT WORKS Three independent AI passes evaluate your card on centering, corners, edges, and surface, averaged into a single grade from 1 to 10.
