Industrial camera + proprietary AI model

Card grading that
sees what humans miss

Ship us your Pokémon cards. We capture them under calibrated studio lighting with a 200-megapixel+ macro system, then score surface, centering, corners, and edges with AI on a transparent 1–10 scale — starting at $19.

Why Poki

Built for collectors who demand consistency

Traditional grading relies on human judgment under variable light. We replace subjectivity with calibrated capture and repeatable AI scoring.

📷

Studio-grade optics

Industrial macro camera with polarized, color-calibrated lighting. Every surface defect, print line, and edge nick is recorded at microscopic resolution before scoring begins.

200MP+ Resolution per capture plane
🧠

AI sub-grading

Centering, corners, edges, and surface scored independently — then composited into a final 1–10. Same conditions, same result.

Chain-of-custody

From intake scan to final report, every handoff is logged. Watch your card move through the full pipeline in the portal.

📄

Digital certificate + full-resolution scans

Receive high-resolution front and back imagery with a downloadable grade report. Optional sealed slab available for $10 after digital grading is complete. Full methodology published for collectors and sellers.

💰

Three tiers. Clear value.

Basic at $19: photograph the card and upload it — the site grades it automatically. Advanced at $49 ships the card for full subgrades and human QA. Platinum at $99 adds priority turnaround and a sealed slab.

How it works

From envelope to grade report

Four clear stages. Full visibility in your portal the entire time.

1

Submit & ship

Choose a tier, pay online, print your prepaid label, and send the card in a protective sleeve and toploader.

2

Intake & capture

We log the card, photograph front and back under controlled lighting with our macro rig, and verify authenticity signals.

3

AI + human QA

The model scores four subgrades. A specialist reviews edge cases and confirms the composite before the report is locked.

4

Report & return

Digital certificate and full-resolution scans appear in your portal. Card ships back — optionally in a sealed slab for $10.

The scoring system

Four pillars. One composite grade.

Every card is measured the same way. Subgrades are weighted and combined into a final score on our open 1–10 scale.

How the AI actually grades

After capture, images are normalized for color and geometry. Computer-vision pipelines measure border ratios for centering, detect micro-wear on corners and edges, and scan the surface plane for scratches, print defects, whitening, and clouding.

Scores are produced on continuous scales, then mapped to our public 1–10 rubric. A human reviewer validates outliers and cards with known print variations before the grade is finalized.

  • Calibrated lighting removes ambient color bias
  • Multi-angle capture reveals defects single photos miss
  • Subgrades are always shown — never hidden
  • Human QA on every submission before release

Choose the depth your card deserves

From AI-only scoring to priority lab treatment with a sealed slab — every tier uses the same calibrated imaging pipeline.
