Why check condition before grading

Save money on grading fees

Professional grading costs $20-$150 per card. Knowing the likely grade beforehand helps you decide which cards are worth the investment and which aren't.

Understand what graders look for

Pokex breaks down the four key grading factors — centering, surface, edges, and corners — so you learn to evaluate cards like a professional.

Maximize your graded card ROI

A PSA 10 can be worth 10x more than an 8. By pre-screening your cards, you submit only the ones most likely to earn top grades, maximizing your return.

What professional graders evaluate

PSA, BGS, and CGC graders assess four main factors: centering (how well the card is cut), surface (scratches, print lines, holo issues), edges (whitening, nicks), and corners (wear, bending). Each factor receives a sub-grade that combines into a final grade. Pokex helps you evaluate these same factors on your cards before you spend money on submission.

Pre-screen before you submit

Grading submissions involve fees, shipping, insurance, and weeks of waiting. Submitting a card that comes back as a PSA 6 when you expected a 9 is frustrating and costly. Using Pokex to pre-screen your cards helps set realistic expectations and ensures you only submit cards with genuine PSA 9 or 10 potential.

Condition affects value more than rarity

A near-mint Base Set Charizard is worth a fraction of a PSA 10 copy. Even for modern cards, the difference between a 9 and a 10 can be hundreds of dollars. Understanding and evaluating condition is one of the most important skills in the hobby, and Pokex helps you build that skill.

Câu Hỏi Thường Gặp

Q1 Does Pokex replace professional grading services?

No. Pokex is a pre-screening tool to help you evaluate cards before submitting to PSA, BGS, or CGC. It helps you decide which cards are worth the grading fee, but an official grade still requires professional submission.

Q3 Can I check centering on any card?

Yes. Pokex analyzes the card borders to evaluate centering — one of the most important and easily visible grading factors. It works on any Pokemon card from any set.

Q4 Should I grade modern cards or just vintage?

Both can be worthwhile. High-value modern chase cards (alt arts, secret rares) with PSA 10 grades command significant premiums. Vintage cards in any high grade are valuable. Pokex helps you identify which cards in your collection have the most grading upside.
