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.
