Best results: flat surface, even lighting, no glare, card fills most of the frame.
Instant visual scan based on your uploaded photos.
Surface Relief Scan applies an edge-enhancement filter so scratches, print lines and whitening are easier to see with your own eyes — the same idea authentication services use for surface review. It's a visual aid, not an automatic grade.
Two sets of guide lines — drag each to the right position. Cyan lines → inner border edge (where the coloured frame meets the card artwork/text area). Green lines → outer card edge (the very physical edge of the card). The centering percentage is the cyan-border width divided by the space between the green lines — this is exactly how professional graders measure centering.
This is an instant visual scan based on pixel analysis of your photo — not a substitute for professional grading (professional grading services). Lighting, angle and photo quality affect results. Final cash offers are confirmed after we physically inspect the card.
