Pokemon & Sports Card Scanner
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The most precise AI card grader for Pokemon and sports cards.

more 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!

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.

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.

Signed up for unlimited scans per month Once I had entered a large portion of cards in the system they changed the subscription to 500 per month. Still lots of scans, but was trying to enter a large database. When I asked about the change they gave me 200 extra months over a two month period. Then they closed the account as I asked about the billing cycle and when new credits would be available as I had run again. Careful on plans you sign up for and don’t ask any questions or they will cancel your subscription. Just don’t recommend them with all the other options out there.

- Should you grade it? Every Live Grade can show what your card is worth raw, at a PSA 9 and at a PSA 10, with a straight answer on whether grading pays.
