PRODUCT · PRECHECK

Know the next move before you pay for the expensive one.

Grade Optic turns card photos into an organized report: identity, visual condition read, photo confidence, missing evidence, and next action.

Precheck is not a final grade · original-photo evidence preserved.

WHAT THE REPORT ANSWERS

Six questions, one report.

01
What card is this?
02
How confident is the identity?
03
What is the visual condition read?
04
What photo-based range applies?
05
What evidence is missing?
06
What should I do next?
Precheck is not a final grade. It is a photo-based condition review.
THE HONEST PART

What precheck does not do.

Grade Optic does not authenticate cards, issue official grades, guarantee value, or replace professional grading companies. It helps you organize evidence and decide what deserves a closer look before you grade.

No official or final gradeNo authenticationNo guaranteed value
THE THREE STATES

A precheck gets sharper with more evidence.

STATE 1
Front-only identity read

Identify the card and get a first visual condition read. Marked needs confirmation until the back arrives.

STATE 2
Front + back confirmation

Confirm the exact card, numbering, and potential parallel. Exact card confirmed.

STATE 3
Full precheck complete

Identity, condition read, confidence, evidence, and a clear next action. It is ready to route.

BEST NEXT PHOTO
Why the back photo matters.

When the back is missing, Grade Optic tells you why it matters: the back confirms exact card details, numbering, set, potential parallel clues, and back-side condition. Precheck asks for the single photo that improves the read the most.

EVIDENCE
The read stays tied to your original photos.

Every report is built around the images that created it. The evidence matters as much as the read. Front, back, and optional angles stay attached to the record.

Run your first precheck.

Scan a card, review the evidence, and sort it into Keep or Sell.
