Centering on parallel borders

Topps Chrome and Prizm centering is unforgiving — SnapGrade measures pixel-perfect L/R/T/B ratios.

Why sports collectors need pre-grading

A modern Topps Chrome rookie refractor going from PSA 9 to PSA 10 can double or triple in value. Centering on these cards is brutal — and PSA's standards have tightened. Sending borderline cards on hope alone is no longer viable economics.

SnapGrade pre-grades give you the centering measurement, surface scan, and corner check before you commit $42–$75 per card to a PSA queue. Cherry-pick your top 5 and submit those, not your top 50.

Common questions

Questions we hear all the time.

What sports cards does SnapGrade support?
Baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer — modern and vintage. Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, Bowman and most mainstream issuers are well-supported.
How does grading sports cards differ from Pokémon?
The four subgrade axes are the same — centering, corners, edges, surface — but modern sports parallels (refractors, prizms) need specialized surface handling. Our model accounts for it.
Can SnapGrade grade vintage baseball cards?
Yes. Vintage cards (pre-1980) are graded with a model variant that accounts for natural aging, off-cut variations, and historical print quality differences.
What about cards with stickers or auto patches?
Patches and stickers are detected and isolated — the underlying card surface is graded separately, with patch authentication notes in the report.
How accurate is it for centering-sensitive modern rookies?
Centering is measured to the pixel — far more precise than the human eye. For Topps Chrome and Panini Prizm specifically, our centering call matches PSA's within ±5% on 92% of returns.
