First, I want to say I haven’t officially sent any of my cards to get pre-graded yet but I do think the app does a good job grading. I’ve seen people complain that they can’t get higher than like a 9 or 9.1 with the app. I haven’t gotten a 10, but I’ve gotten 9.5s and 9.6s. People should take the scores with a grain of salt - the AI is being conservative, it’s likely catching things that either: (1) False positives (2) SOOO minor a human grader probably wouldn’t catch/penalize. I’ve had cards flagged for “edge wear” or “whitening” when neither existed (even under a microscope) - it’s just the lighting or shadows from the picture. So if you’re frustrated you’re not getting a 10, look at WHY you aren’t and assess from there - people have gotten 10s with pre-grades as low as a like an 8.9 so if YOUR inspection doesn’t catch anything and the things AI catch aren’t right… you probably have a 10 and should feel confident sending your card in 👌🏻
Downloaded this app after seeing it on TikTok. Paid for the $15/month subscription due to details implying unlimited scans. Although the scans are unlimited, they take 1-4 hours or more. You have to buy credits to get instant grades. No mention of that specific detail before you pay for your plan. No credits included on the plan. Additionally, I downloaded this app for sports cards, but it doesn’t register any of my cards. There is an option to manually add the card, but they default to Pokémon as the set, so if I manually enter my card it’s a Cooper Flagg Pokémon card. I should have known what I bought when I saw all the misspelled words and grammatical errors through the app. Is the grading accurate? I don’t know- I haven’t been able to get that far.
Decided to give the app a try. As soon as I open I was prompted to Subscribe with different tiers available with each tier only offering 1/2 options more than lower tier. I bit the bullet and decided to give it a try. After using the app the only thing I have nice to say is the layout. They promote to grade cards and give you all the information. What they fail to tell you is have to wait 1-4 hours for AI grade. UNLESS YOU PAY FOR CREDITS! Then you use 2 credits for a speedy grade. So not only are you paying for Subscription to do what 90% of other apps do for free BUT paying for grading too, unless you want to wait potentially up to 4 hours. Waist of money and recommend not using or supporting this company. Why you get a 1 ⭐️- Stop perceiving the consumer, allow a trial and be open about how many paywalls you have.
