AI Grading System - Card Rival

How AI Grading Works

Our advanced AI system combines computer vision, machine learning, and precision measurement technology to analyze every aspect of your sports cards with unprecedented accuracy.

High-Resolution Scanning

Multi-angle, high-resolution imaging captures every detail of your card at microscopic levels. Our 4K cameras and specialized lighting reveal imperfections invisible to the naked eye.

AI Analysis Engine

Advanced computer vision algorithms trained on millions of cards analyze centering, corners, edges, surface quality, and print characteristics with mathematical precision.

Instant Grade Report

Receive a comprehensive grade report with detailed breakdown, visual evidence, and comparison to industry standards. All processing completed in under 3 seconds.

Grading Criteria

Our AI evaluates five critical factors that determine a card's condition and value. Each factor is weighted based on its impact on overall card quality.

Centering

25% Weight

Perfect alignment of image within card borders

Computer vision algorithms measure pixel distances from edges to detect centering accuracy within 0.1mm precision

Corners

25% Weight

Sharpness and condition of all four corners

Edge detection and corner analysis using machine learning to identify wear, rounding, and damage patterns

Edges

20% Weight

Smoothness and integrity of card edges

High-resolution scanning detects micro-cuts, fraying, and edge wear invisible to human inspection

Surface

20% Weight

Print quality, scratches, and surface defects

Multi-spectral imaging reveals surface imperfections, print dots, and coating irregularities

Color & Print

10% Weight

Vibrancy, registration, and print quality

Color calibration and print quality assessment using advanced image processing algorithms

Understanding the Grade Scale

Our 10-point grading scale follows industry standards while providing more consistent and detailed analysis than traditional human grading.

Grade	Condition	Description	Rarity	Value Impact
10	Pristine	Perfect condition with no visible flaws	< 1%	10x
9	Mint	Near perfect with only minor imperfections	5%	5x
8	Near Mint	Excellent condition with slight wear	15%	3x
7	Very Fine	Good condition with minor defects	25%	2x
6	Fine	Noticeable wear but structurally sound	30%	1.5x
5	Good	Moderate wear and visible defects	20%	1x
