CardGrader.AI

I tested this app out with the same card used the ai grader multiple times on the same card and got the same results and I love that it lets you know what it’s selling for now very cool app I highly recommend it if you have cards that you are thinking about spending the money to have them graded!

I evaluated a well worn 1957 topps card that clearly has surface issues (cracking in the gloss that look like scratches). I checked it twice with the 3 credits you get for free. One deep scan and one quick scan. Both times the surface came back as 10s. At best the surface is a 4 or 5. The other subgrades were pretty accurate. The pricing model is confusing. On one hand it seems like you pay for credits that you spend on scans, which is a great model, but then when you go to sign up, it’s a monthly charge four a certain number of credits. So do unused credits expire at the end of each month? If so, it’s a pretty expensive grader. Regardless, the surface grading is a deal killer for now.

Fine for centering and market price estimates, but an absolute failure for grading. I graded 3 Pokemon cards to evaluate the app. One of the cards I literally removed from 27 year old original plastic and immediately sleeved 3 days prior. I bought the starter set the card came from in 1999, so I knew its history. The card was pristine, but the app graded it a 7/10, due to excessive corner nicks and frayed edges it claimed were likely caused by poor handling or excessive playing. When I told the AI agent “Carl” the card was literally out of the package, it suggested I had the wrong card, that I was confused. The second card was misidentified. It recognized Pikachu as a different character, Charmander, and graded the card a 7, again for damaged edges and corners not matching reality. The third card was graded 3.5, for a card I seriously considered a potential 10, again citing visible damage not matching reality. I cancelled my subscription immediately and deleted the app.
