Estimates, not grades
Grade or Skip gives an estimate from photos. It is not a grade, an appraisal or financial advice. Photos hide flaws, the condition model misses subtle defects, and real grades often come in lower. Our grade chances are rough and haven't been calibrated against real grading results. A decision to grade, buy or sell is yours.
Prices
Prices come from third-party sources or from what you type in, and they change daily. We don't guarantee that a price is current, or that it's for your exact printing. Check recent sold listings before you spend money.
Not affiliated
Grade or Skip is an independent tool. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by PSA, TAG, CGC, BGS or any grading company, or by Nintendo, Creatures, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company.
Free checks
Free checks come from a daily pool shared by everyone. They're first come, first served, there's a limit per person, and they reset daily. We can change these amounts.
Only a check that returns an answer uses a free check. A failed scan never counts.
Fair use
Don't overload the service, get around its limits, or upload anything that isn't a trading card you have the right to photograph. We can suspend an account that does. Scanning can pause for a day if the service reaches its spending limit.
Your photos
Your photos stay yours. You let us process them to give you your result, as described in the privacy page.
