The scanner above is free and needs no account. The CardGrader.AI app adds an AI grade estimate (centering, corners, edges, surface), raw vs graded sold prices, and a grading cost calculator, for Pokémon, other TCGs and sports cards.
The easiest way is to use our free AI-powered scanner above. Simply take a photo of your card,
and our system will instantly identify it and show you the current market value based on recent
sales data. This is more accurate than manual searches because it considers the specific set,
rarity, and current market trends.

What determines the value of a Pokémon card?
Three main factors determine value: rarity (Secret Rare, 1st Edition, etc.),
condition (graded on a 1-10 scale where PSA 10 is flawless), and
demand (popularity of the Pokémon and competitive playability). Our AI tool
helps objectively measure condition, which is the biggest variable for ungraded cards.
How accurate is the AI card identification?
Our CLIP-based visual AI achieves over 95% accuracy on clear, well-lit photos. For best results,
photograph your card on a plain background with even lighting. The AI can identify cards from
virtually any angle and handles partial visibility well, but a clear front-facing shot gives
the most reliable results.

Our AI doesn't just identify cards — it analyzes condition, predicts grades, and estimates graded values.
