AI Grading Disclaimer

Not an official grade

Grades and subgrades produced by PocketVault are estimates only. They are not issued by, affiliated with, or endorsed by PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, or any professional grading service. An AI grade cannot be substituted for an authentic graded slab in commerce.

Image-based limits

AI grading from photos cannot detect every defect a professional grader would find with the card in hand. Hairline scratches, recoloring under UV, and certain alterations may be missed. Lighting and image quality directly affect accuracy.

Market values

Raw / PSA 9 / PSA 10 price estimates are AI-generated approximations. Real prices vary by population, edition, and sale venue.

Grader recommendations

"Where to submit" recommendations are heuristic suggestions. Submission fees and turnarounds change frequently — confirm on each grader's website before submitting.

Authenticity flags

The authenticity check is a signal, not a verdict. Always have valuable cards authenticated by a qualified service before purchase or sale.

Liability

PocketVault is not liable for purchase, sale, or submission decisions made based on AI output. Use your own judgment.
