AI grading estimates
Card Café AI estimates are educational approximations derived from submitted images and information. They are not physical inspections, official grades, professional appraisals, authentication opinions or guarantees. Images may conceal scratches, print lines, dents, trimming, restoration, counterfeits or other defects. PSA, CGC, Beckett or other graders may reach different conclusions. You bear the decision and expense of purchasing, selling, shipping, insuring or submitting cards.
When you request an AI check or a slab scan, your photo is sent to Anthropic for analysis. See Privacy Policy section 4.
Certification lookups
A certification number matching a public registry record does not prove the submitted slab or card is genuine, unaltered or owned by the user. Check physical security features and official records independently.
Price and profit estimates
Market data may be delayed, sparse, inaccurate or based on incomparable transactions. Asking prices are not completed sales. Projected profit excludes or estimates fees, shipping, taxes, insurance, grading costs, returns and market movement as identified on screen. No guaranteed profit or resale price is offered. Prices shown for a grade a card has not received are subject to actual grading and market pricing.
