Grading Isn’t Just a Number, It’s a Breakdown of Your Card’s True Value

You know the drill. You send your card off to PSA or BGS, cross your fingers, and hope for that elusive 10. But when it comes back as a 9.5, 9, or worse, an 8, you’re left wondering—why?

That’s exactly why we built DeepMint AI. We don’t just slap a number on your card and call it a day. We break it down, analyzing thousands of data points to show you exactly why your card scored the way it did—and what that means for its market value.

Our AI-powered grading system evaluates cards in a way no human ever could—with precision, consistency, and total transparency. So, what actually determines your DeepMint AI Score? Let’s get into it.

1. Surface: The First Thing Buyers See

Scratches, print lines, gloss imperfections—the little things that ruin a perfect grade. DeepMint AI scans every pixel to find the flaws you might not even know are there.

2. Centering: The Dealbreaker

A perfectly centered card is the difference between a PSA 9 and a PSA 10. DeepMint AI measures alignment to the fraction of a millimeter—so you know exactly where your card stands.

3. Corners: The Silent Grade Killer

A tiny speck of whitening? A micro dent? Yeah, we see it. Our AI zooms in with microscopic precision, spotting corner flaws before they cost you a perfect score.

4. Edges: The Fine Line Between a 9 and a 10

Chipping, rough cuts, edge wear—the stuff that separates premium cards from the rest. DeepMint AI scans for even the smallest imperfections, so you know exactly what’s lowering your grade.

5. Print Quality: The Factory Flaws That Matter

Ink smudges, faded text, off-color prints—things that might seem minor but can tank your card’s value. DeepMint AI ensures your card is evaluated against known print standards for accuracy.

6. Structure & Durability: Beyond the Surface

Warping, thickness inconsistencies, card stock durability—things that PSA and BGS don’t even consider. DeepMint AI does, ensuring your card’s long-term integrity is factored into the grade.

7. Authenticity: No Fakes Allowed

Counterfeits are getting better. So is our AI. We cross-reference ink patterns, print textures, and even reflectivity data to sniff out fakes before they fool you.

More Than Just a Grade—It’s a Collector’s Playbook

Traditional grading leaves you guessing. DeepMint AI hands you the full report. But this isn’t just about understanding why your card got a certain grade—it’s about helping you make the smartest decisions with your collection.

It tells you exactly why your card got its grade, how it compares to similar cards in the market, and what that means for its value today—and in the future.
