ESTIMATE

Preliminary grade — subject to final physical inspection.

01 / AI-ASSISTED OBSERVATION

A question of balance.

Example: a slight difference between the left and right borders is visible in the front image. Centering is one part of the overall review.

At physical inspection, staff can check the card itself and correct observations where needed.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS YOURS

See the potential.
Decide whether to send.

This private estimate helps you decide whether to send your card to DGS. It is not a certified grade, a digital grading service, or a result to advertise as an official DGS grade. Only physical inspection by DGS can establish the final grade.

YOUR EYE IS PART OF THE PROCESS

A better picture.
A better starting point.

Upload the front and back. DGS helps identify the card and set, checks centering on both sides, and organizes image-based observations. Then you add what you can see.

Use the planned image-marking tools to pinpoint scratches, edge wear, corner damage and other concerns. The more complete your observations, the better informed your estimate of the possible physical grade can be.

If physical inspection confirms the same condition and no correction is needed, the grade can remain unchanged. Details a photograph misses may still change the final result.
