What pre-grading is
A grading company charges you whether the card comes back a 10 or a 6. Pre-grading is the pass you take first: centering, corners, edges, and surface, written down before you print a label.
- 1. Photograph the card. Front and back, under a lamp, not a blurry ceiling shot.
- 2. Run it through the app. You get an estimate and the reason, not a promise.
- 3. Decide. Submit, trade it raw, or keep it because you like it. All three are allowed.
Pokémon, One Piece, and Riftbound all go through the same four questions. The app is desktop and mobile. Read why pre-grade your cards if you want the longer version.
