Four Sub-Rubrics.
Ai-Powered. Human-Verified.
Inside Graid's grading process — four sub-rubrics, Ai-powered scoring, human QA review, tamper-proof slabbing.
The four things we look at.
The four areas every card is assessed on, weighted and anchored to legacy industry conventions plus our own modern proprietary grading conventions.
Centering
Left/right, top/bottom, and front/back borders measured independently. Front centering anchors the grade — back centering can pull the score down by one tier when significantly worse than the front.
Corners
All four corners are assessed; the weakest drives the grade. We look for fraying, blunting, softness, dings, whitening at the point, or creasing.
Edges
Edge wear, chipping, whitening along the border, layer separation. Both front and back edges are scored.
Surface
Print defects, scratches, scuffs, indentations, foreign material. Reflective surfaces (chrome, refractor, holo) graded with a dedicated rubric.
Six steps. Ai-powered. Human verified.
