Assessment

A clean copy: sharp corners, crisp edges and a scratch-free surface. The left/right centering (55/45) is the one thing standing between this card and a 10, so an FG 9 is the most likely result.

What the AI Checks on a Pokémon Card

Pokémon cards fail grading for their own reasons. These are the flaws that separate a PSA 10 from a PSA 9.

The back counts: border centering and edge whitening are graded here.

Centering, Front and Back

Pokémon borders make off-center prints easy to spot, and graders judge the back too. The AI measures both sides.

Whitening on the Back

The blue back border shows every nick. Edge and corner whitening is the most common reason a pack-fresh card misses a 10.

Holo Scratches and Print Lines

Holo, reverse holo and full-art surfaces pick up scratches, scuffs and factory print lines that are hard to see without the right light.

Silvering and Edge Wear

Modern cards often show silvering along the cut edges. The AI flags it next to corner and edge wear.

PSA 10 vs PSA 9: Why One Point Matters for Pokémon

For modern Pokémon chase cards, a PSA 10 often sells for several times the price of a PSA 9 of the same card, and a PSA 9 can be worth little more than the raw card plus the grading fee. Most of the value of grading sits in that last point.

What that means before you submit

A card with off-center borders or a whitened back edge rarely comes back a 10. figoca shows you the likely grade range for your copy next to real sold prices for raw and graded copies, so you can see whether grading pays off before you pay the fee.
