From Scan to Collection: How Gradeon Simplifies the Card Collecting Journey

Collecting TCG cards isn’t just a hobby—it’s a passion, a market, and for many, a serious investment. But as your collection grows, so do the challenges:

  • What’s the real condition of your cards?

  • Which are worth grading or selling?

  • How do you keep track of everything?

That’s where Gradeon comes in—smart, simple, and powered by AI.

🔍 Step 1: Scan Your Card

It starts with a quick scan. Just use your phone to snap front and back photos of your card directly in the app.

This isn’t just a camera roll upload. The app guides you to capture clear, consistent images—optimized for accurate analysis.

✅ No special tools
✅ Works with all TCG sizes
✅ Fast, intuitive, mobile-first

🧠 Step 2: Let AI Handle the Pre-Grading

Gradeon reads your photos against grading standards adapted from PSA and BGS, and estimates the grade a professional company would most likely give your card.

It checks the four key pre-grading categories:

  • Centering – Is the image balanced?

  • Corners – Any whitening or bends?

  • Edges – Clean cuts or damage?

  • Surface – Scratches, print lines, smudges?

📊 You’ll get a full pre-grade breakdown in a minute or two, with every defect marked on your photo and a score for each area.

⚖️ No bias. No guesswork. Just clear data to help you decide:

  • Submit for official grading

  • Sell confidently

  • Hold and monitor

📦 Step 3: Save It to Your Collection

Every card you scan is saved to your collection, where you can:

  • View condition history

  • Track estimated market value

  • Organize by set, grade, value or your own folders

Whether you’re building a master set or prepping a PSA bulk sub, your collection keeps you in control.

Why It Matters

Before Gradeon, you needed:

  • A camera

  • Notes or spreadsheets

  • Manual research on pricing

  • A lot of time

Now?
One app. Zero stress. All the tools you need—driven by AI.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Gradeon pre-grade take?

A Full Grade takes about 1–2 minutes. Deep Analysis, the Pro mode that zooms into every corner, takes 5–10 minutes and notifies you when it’s ready. Quick Price gives you a price in a couple of seconds, without grading.

What does Gradeon check on a card?

Four areas on the front and on the back: centering (15%), corners (25%), edges (25%) and surface (35%). Every grade below 9 is backed by at least one defect marked on your photo.

Where are my scanned cards saved?

In your collection, where you can search, filter and sort by name, set, grade or value, group cards into folders and follow your collection’s value over time.
