Cardinal - TCG Scan & Grade

Is this card worth grading? Scan it and know before you pay the submission fee.

Cardinal is an AI card grader and TCG card scanner in one. Point your camera at a trading card: Cardinal identifies the card in under a second, shows its raw and graded value, gives it an AI pre-grade across centering, corners, edges and surface, and tells you whether sending it for professional card grading will actually pay.

CARD SCANNER THAT RUNS ON YOUR PHONE
• Point the camera. The card's name, set, number and price appear while you are still holding it steady. No typing, no searching.
• Card identification runs on the device, not in the cloud, so the scanner keeps up on a weak signal at a card show. In offline mode you still get the card and a recent price.
• Pick the exact printing and the card value follows.

AI CARD GRADING THAT SHOWS ITS WORK
• Four sub-grades — centering, corners, edges and surface — each with its own score and a plain-language note, not one vague number.
• Close-up crops of the corners and back edges, so you see the whitening the grade is based on.
• Guided front-and-back scan: a six-second multi-angle sweep, and Cardinal keeps the sharpest frames for grading.
• Consistent by design. Scan the same card twice, get the same grade.

IS IT WORTH GRADING?
• Raw card value next to the value at the grade Cardinal predicts.
• A clear yes or no, the grading service that pays best for this card, and the net benefit after grading fees.
• Price history, so you can see where the card's value has been.
• Pre-grade a whole stack: check centering and condition first, then submit only the cards that are worth grading.

SLAB SCANNER FOR GRADED CARDS
• Scan a PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC slab. Cardinal reads the label — grader, grade and cert number — and prices the graded card at that grade.

COLLECTION AND PORTFOLIO TRACKER
• Every scan is saved with its grade and price. Portfolio value, average grade, change this week.
• Collections, search, and filters by game.
• Grade a card from a photo in your gallery when it is not in front of you.
• Sign in with Google to keep your collection across devices, or skip it. No account required.

WHO IT IS FOR
Collectors deciding which cards to submit. Sellers pricing inventory. Anyone who has looked at a trading card and wondered whether it is worth the grading fee.

Cardinal is an independent tool and is not affiliated with PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC or any professional grading service. Grades are estimates and are not a guarantee of any grader's assessment.
