AI Pokémon Card Pre-Grading
Get Your TCGAI Score Before You Submit

Our Computer Vision AI analyzes your Pokémon cards — from vintage WOTC Base Set to modern Scarlet & Violet — to produce a TCGAI Score with sub-grade detail (Centering, Corners, Edges, Surface). Only submit your top-score candidates. TCGAI Score is our own AI estimate, not an official grade. Third-party grades may differ.

Pokémon Card AI Analysis

Our AI is specifically calibrated for Pokémon TCG — holographic surfaces, texture rares, and vintage WOTC printing patterns.

Centering on Pokémon Cards

Measures exact pixel distance between borders. Detects if your card meets 60/40 front and 75/25 back for a top TCGAI Score. Critical for WOTC-era cards with inconsistent cutting.

Holo Scratch Detection

Identifies micro-scratches, holo-bleeding, silvering invisible to the naked eye. Essential for Charizard VMAX, Illustration Rares, and vintage 1st Edition holos.

Edge Whitening Analysis

Detects corner whitening and soft corners. Flags minor chipping that would drop a Pokémon card from a TCGAI Score 10 to 9.
const analyzePokemon = async (card) => {
  // 1. Detect card borders
  const edges = await detectBorders(card);
  // 2. Centering ratio
  const centering = {
    LR: edges.left / edges.right,   // 51/49
    TB: edges.top / edges.bottom    // 52/48
  };
  // 3. Holo surface scan
  const holoDefects = scanHoloSurface(card);
  return predictPSAGrade(centering, holoDefects);
}

    “I was about to send a Moonbreon (Umbreon VMAX Alt Art) that looked perfect. The AI caught a micro-dent on the rear surface I completely missed. Saved me $150 in third-party grading fees.”

    “I pre-screen every Illustration Rare with TCGAI before paying for third-party grading. My top-grade return rate went from 40% to 78% since using TCGAI. Pays for itself instantly.”

    FAQ

    Pokémon Grading FAQ

    Our AI is calibrated against the same observable criteria professional graders use — Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface — and produces a TCGAI Score with sub-grade detail.
    The TCGAI Score is an AI estimate, not an official grade. Third-party grades may differ. We are not affiliated with any third-party grading company.
    Yes. Calibrated for all Pokémon eras: Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Neo Genesis, e-Series. WOTC cards often have inconsistent centering — our AI detects these patterns.
    Yes. Our surface analysis targets holographic surfaces — micro-scratches, holo-bleeding, silvering on foil and texture rare cards invisible to the naked eye.
    Depends on value. A grade of 9 can still be very valuable for high-demand cards like 1st Edition Charizard. Our market tool shows price differences between grades. Remember: the TCGAI Score is an estimate; the actual grade you receive may differ.
    Yes. Supports Japanese Pokémon cards — VSTAR Universe, Shiny Treasure ex, Art Rares, vintage promos. AI adjusts for different card dimensions and printing.
    1. Remove the sleeve. 2. Use a dark background. 3. Diffused, even lighting. 4. Tilt slightly to minimize holo glare.
