MERIDIAN GRADE
Review grading potential before paying submission fees.
Card Meridian’s grading decision workflow combines AI-assisted photo observations with market evidence. Review visible condition, compare raw and graded value, and consider costs before deciding whether to submit.GUIDED CAPTURE
Better photographs produce a more useful review.
The workflow requests straight front and back images plus angled-light views designed to reveal scratches, dents, print lines, and other surface issues. Guidance helps keep the full card visible, square, and in focus.
Sleeves, glare, low resolution, and uneven lighting can hide defects, so the capture process explains those limitations.
- Straight front and back photographs
- Angled-light surface views
- Image-quality and visibility checks
VISIBLE CONDITION
Inspect the four areas collectors already care about.
Meridian Grade reviews visible centering, corners, edges, and surface evidence. It documents observations and provides a pre-screen range based on what the submitted images reveal.
It does not authenticate the card, inspect it physically, or replace the opinion of PSA, SGC, BGS, CGC, TAG, or another professional grader.
- Centering, corner, edge, and surface observations
- Evidence notes instead of a bare score
- Clear uncertainty when photos are insufficient
GRADE DECISION
Compare likely upside with cost and risk.
When appropriate market evidence is available, Card Meridian can place the condition review beside raw value, graded-sale context, grading cost, and potential value lift. This helps frame whether submission is worth additional research.
