All questions & supportIs a Slabbies pre-grade an official grade?
No. It is an AI-assisted estimate from the photos and card context you provide. Only a grading company can assign an official grade after physically inspecting the card.
Which photos make a pre-grade more useful?
Use sharp, evenly lit captures of the front, back, surface, corners, and edges. Remove sleeves when safe, avoid glare, and keep the full card outline visible.
Why might Slabbies ask me to retake a photo?
A retake protects the estimate when the card outline, focus, lighting, or required region is not clear enough to assess. Unseen evidence should remain unknown rather than receive a generous default.
Can a grading company still return a different grade?
Yes. A physical inspection can reveal print lines, dents, texture damage, alterations, or other evidence the camera did not capture, and every grading company applies its own standards.
