Upload front and back photos, let Mintventory inspect the quality signals that collectors care about, and get a conservative 1 to 10 score even before the card is added to your inventory. It is built to feel like a real grading experience for collectors, but stays clear that it is an internal Mintventory estimate, not an official slab.
Front + back
Upload both sides so the grading sees the whole card, not just a good angle.
PSA-style checks
Centering, whitening, corners, scratches, dents, and surface wear all matter.
Honest scoring
The output is intentionally conservative so Mintventory grading stays trustworthy.
Saved to inventory
The score becomes part of the card info and stays visible on your collector page.
Capture both sides
The model checks centering, corners, whitening, scratches, and back-side wear together.
Conservative score
Mintventory stays honest by rounding down when the image is uncertain or the condition signals conflict.
Honest by design
Internal grading signal
Grading focus
Every save writes the Mintventory grading score into the card record so you can see it later without re-uploading photos.
Upload front and back photos, let Mintventory recognize the card, see if it already lives in your collection, and get a conservative 1 to 10 grading read with an explanation per quality factor.
Front
Show the whole front, including top corners and border.
Back
White edges, scratches, and corner wear matter here too.
Lighting
Use soft daylight or a diffused desk lamp. Direct flash can hide scratches and whitening.
Positioning
Keep the card flat and square to the lens so the AI can judge centering honestly.
Coverage
Upload both front and back. Corners, whitening, and edge wear often differ from side to side.

Photo tips
Mintventory grading is deliberately conservative. If the image is blurry, cropped, angled, or covered by glare, the experience should tell you that up front instead of pretending the result is precise.
Use soft daylight or even studio lighting. Hard flash can hide scratches and whitening.
Lay the card flat and keep it centered in frame so the edges are easy to judge.
Upload both the front and back. Surface wear, whitening, and corners often differ side to side.
Remove sleeves, top loaders, and reflections when possible so the image stays readable.
FAQ
This page is designed to answer the questions collectors usually search before uploading card photos for a grading estimate.
Mintventory grading looks at the visible signs collectors care about most: centering, corners, edges, whitening, surface scratches, print lines, dents, and other obvious wear on both the front and the back of the card.
No. Mintventory grading is a private, conservative internal estimate designed to help collectors understand card quality before they decide whether to submit a card for official grading.
Upload clear front and back photos in soft, even light. Keep the card flat, centered, and avoid hard flash or heavy glare so the condition signals stay visible.
The Mintventory grading score is saved on the inventory item itself, then shown again in the collector experience so you can review the score without re-uploading the photos.
