Know the next move before you pay for the expensive one.
A precheck IS the report: you photograph a card, and Grade Optic returns identity, a visual condition read, photo confidence, and the next move. One action, one document.
Precheck is not a final grade · original-photo evidence preserved.
Six questions, one report.
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.
A precheck gets sharper with more evidence.
Identify the card and get a first visual condition read. Marked needs confirmation until the back arrives.
Confirm the exact card, numbering, and potential parallel. Exact card confirmed.
Identity, condition read, confidence, evidence, and a clear next action. It is ready to route.
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.
Every report is built around the images that created it. The evidence matters as much as the read. Front, back, and optional angles are always kept with the record.
Run your first precheck.
Scan a card, review the evidence, and sort it into Keep or Sell.
