Best Way to Pre-Grade Pokémon Cards Before PSA Grading

Why Pre-Grading Your Pokémon Cards is Essential

For Pokémon collectors, PSA grading can drastically increase a card’s value—but not every card is worth submitting. Pre-grading helps you determine if your card is PSA 10-worthy before you invest in grading fees.

SnapGradeAI offers an instant, AI-powered pre-grading solution that evaluates centering, surface, edges, corners, and print quality, ensuring you only send in high-potential cards for PSA grading.

How to Pre-Grade Pokémon Cards for PSA

1. Check Card Centering

PSA grading heavily factors in centering.
A well-centered Pokémon card should have equal borders on all sides.
SnapGradeAI’s AI algorithm detects off-center cards instantly.

2. Inspect Surface Quality

Scratches, print lines, and dirt reduce your PSA grade.
Use a bright light and tilt the card to detect flaws.
AI-powered grading tools can highlight imperfections the naked eye might miss.

3. Evaluate Corners & Edges

PSA dings cards with white edge wear or rough corners.
AI pre-grading identifies tiny imperfections before submission.
