Our AI evaluates centering, corners, edges, and surface using the same standards PSA graders follow, achieving 95% alignment with actual PSA outcomes.
Smart Submission Screening
Stop wasting money sending PSA 7s to PSA at $25 each. Screen your cards first and only submit the PSA 9-10 candidates that will return positive value.
Zero Shipping Risk
Eliminate the risk of your valuable cards getting lost, stolen, or damaged in transit to PSA. Grade from the safety of your home with just a photo.
Unlimited Re-Grades
Not confident in a result? Re-photograph from a different angle and re-grade as many times as needed. PSA charges the full fee for every re-grade or review.

Is CardMintAI a replacement for PSA grading?
CardMintAI is a complement to PSA, not a replacement. We provide instant AI-powered pre-grading that helps you decide which cards are worth sending to PSA for official grades. Only PSA can provide authenticated, encapsulated grades that carry market value for resale.
How does CardMintAI pricing compare to PSA?
PSA grading starts at $25 per card for economy service with a 3+ month turnaround and goes up to $150+ for faster options. CardMintAI offers free grades to start and premium plans with unlimited grading at a fraction of what a single PSA submission costs.
How fast is CardMintAI compared to PSA turnaround?
CardMintAI delivers grades in approximately two seconds. PSA's economy service currently takes 65+ business days, and their faster express services cost significantly more per card. The speed difference allows you to make immediate decisions about your collection.
Does CardMintAI use PSA's grading standards?
Yes. Our AI is trained to evaluate cards against PSA's four core grading attributes: centering, corners, edges, and surface condition. The resulting grades achieve 95% alignment with actual PSA outcomes based on our validation testing.
Can I use CardMintAI to decide which cards to send to PSA?
That is exactly what CardMintAI is designed for. Pre-grade your entire collection with AI, identify which cards are strong PSA 9 or 10 candidates, and only invest money in professional grading for those high-value submissions.
Do I still need PSA if I use CardMintAI?
If you plan to sell graded cards or need official authentication, yes. PSA slabs carry recognized market value that AI grades do not provide. But CardMintAI ensures you only pay PSA fees for cards that deserve the investment.
What is the accuracy rate of CardMintAI vs PSA?
Our AI achieves 95% alignment with PSA grades, with most predictions falling within one grade point of the actual PSA result. This level of accuracy makes CardMintAI one of the most reliable pre-grading screening tools available to collectors.
