What is card pregrading?

Pregrading estimates a card's likely grade before you submit it to a grading company. PokeToGrade measures centering and flags surface defects from your photos so you can predict a grade and decide whether grading is worth it.

Is it worth grading my card?

It depends on the card's condition and the gap between its raw value and its graded value. PokeToGrade compares raw versus graded prices and estimates grading ROI so you can decide before paying to submit.

What is the difference between PSA, CGC, and BGS?

PSA, CGC, and BGS are the major third-party card grading companies. They each assign a numeric grade based on centering, corners, edges, and surface, and a higher grade from any of them generally increases a card's value.

How does PokeToGrade estimate a grade?

PokeToGrade measures front and back centering from your uploaded photos, lets you flag surface defects and review corners, and combines those into an estimated pre-submission grade. Final grades still vary by grading company.

Should You Grade It Or Should You Keep It Raw?

Measure centering, spot surface defects, and see if it's worth the cost before you send in a card for grading.
