Gradeon is the AI app that helps you scan, pre-grade and track the value of your trading cards from your phone, so you only pay to submit the cards that are worth it.

Whether you’re deep into Pokémon, flexing your first One Piece pull or just getting into Riftbound, one thing is crystal clear:
card condition = value.
The difference between a Mint and Near Mint grade? Sometimes hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars.
But how do you know if your card is truly in top shape before you drop the cash on official grading?
You know the drill:
You send your cards off to a grading company, pay the fees, wait weeks (or months), and then—
they come back… lower than expected.
Maybe it was a tiny whitening.
Maybe it was slightly off-centered.
Maybe you missed that faint scratch under a certain light.
Grading is part science, part art, and often full of surprises.
For beginners, it’s confusing.
For veterans, it’s expensive and time-consuming.
That’s why pre-grading is no longer optional. It’s essential.
Gradeon is an AI-powered app built to give you instant, reliable pre-grades—so you can make smarter decisions before you send, sell, or store.
Gradeon checks your photos against grading standards adapted from PSA and BGS, and marks every flaw it finds directly on your photo, so you can see exactly why a card loses points.
Open the app, snap front and back photos with your phone. That’s it.
Our AI evaluates your card across 4 key pre-grading areas:
(Same categories used by PSA, BGS, and CGC.)
In a minute or two, you’ll see a clear, visual condition report: four sub-grades for each side, every defect marked on your photo, and an overall pre-grade on the PSA-comparable 1–10 scale.
With the report in hand, decide whether to:
Submit for official grading
List it with confidence
Keep it in your collection
No more guessing. Just smart collecting.
Gradeon is more than a scanner—it’s your card HQ.
With it, you can:
🗃 Track and organize scanned cards by grade, set, or value

Pre-grading is checking a card’s condition before you send it to a grading company. Gradeon does it with AI: it estimates the grade PSA, BGS or CGC would most likely give your card, so you can decide whether it’s worth submitting.
No. A Gradeon pre-grade is an AI estimate on a PSA-comparable 1–10 scale. It is not an official PSA, BGS or CGC grade and never replaces one.
