Review grading potential before paying submission fees.

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.

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.

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.

Coverage varies by card and grade. Missing sales evidence and uncertain photo details remain visible in the decision.
