How a card check works

  1. Colored-pencil drawing of a hand photographing a trading card with a phone

    Photograph a card you are not sure about.

  2. Colored-pencil drawing of a hand holding a magnifying glass over a trading card

    Get a likely grade for it.

  3. Pencil line drawing of open hands holding a card beside a balance scale

    Get the verdict: sold value at each likely grade, minus grading fees and shipping, set against the raw value. It ends in Submit or Keep raw.

Every verdict adds to a running total of the value still locked in your collection.
