Stop gambling
with your cards.
57% of PSA submissions don't come back at Gem Mint 10. Aura scans your card in under 10 seconds and shows you the real odds — before you spend $25–$600 and wait months to find out. You see the data. You make the call.
Better photos. Better predictions.
Your scan is only as good as the photo. Before we run any analysis, we check your image against six quality thresholds — and if something's off, we tell you exactly how to fix it. Front, back, corner close-ups, or an 8-second video. Clean input every time.

Edge Validator
Live PreviewRetake Feedback
Failed captures return one actionable instruction — never a generic error. Examples returned by the validator:
One 8-second video. Zero retakes.
Record a slow 8-second pan across the card. We score every frame, pick the best ones, and remove glare automatically. One take gives us more to work with than any stack of photos.
Your card is only as strong as its weakest point. #
We score each of the four dimensions separately, then apply the same floor rule PSA uses. One problem in one area caps the whole grade — so you see exactly what's holding your card back.
Centering
We measure the border on every side down to the pixel. PSA requires 55/45 for a Gem Mint 10 — we calculate exactly where your card stands, with no guesswork.
Corners
We zoom into every corner at 10× and detect fraying or whitening that's invisible without magnification. Even the smallest damage can cost you a PSA 10.
Edges
We trace the full card border to detect silvering, chipping, and rough cuts — especially on older cards where edge damage is subtle but grade-killing.
Surface
We scan for dimples, print lines, and scratches across the entire card surface — even through reflections or shadows. Your lighting doesn't need to be perfect.
We don't promise PSA 10s. We give you the odds. #
Three cards. Three outcomes. Three decisions. Every prediction includes a plain-language reason and real market values if that grade comes back. When we say 72% PSA 10, roughly 72 out of every 100 cards we've scored that way have come back at 10. That's not confidence — that's calibration. You see the odds. You make the call.
Of every 100 cards we tag "72% PSA 10," roughly 72 return PSA 10 from PSA.
The difference between a confident guess and a trustworthy number is calibration. We track every prediction we make and compare it to the actual PSA result. When the numbers drift, we retrain. The result is a model that gets more accurate the more people use it.
A bad submission
is brutally expensive.
$25 to $600 per card. 5 days to 7+ months of your money tied up. 57% of submissions return below Gem Mint 10. AuraGrade costs pennies per scan and saves you from even one bad submission.

Aura was built for the foil, holo, and modern chase cards that actually matter in 2026.
20,000 verified cards — and growing.
Every image in our training set is verified against PSA's official cert database — not from seller descriptions or community lists. We pull the cert number directly from the slab and confirm the grade, set, and year ourselves.
From pre-grader to grading authority. #
We start as the tool you use before you submit to PSA. We build toward being the grade itself — with a permanent, verifiable record of every card we've ever touched.
AI Pre-Grader
An AI tool you run before submitting to PSA. Every scan improves our model and helps fund what comes next.
Hybrid Encapsulation
Cards that scan at high confidence can be sent to AuraGrade for physical grading under lab-grade lighting — a real slab, not just a prediction.
Defect Map
Cryptographic Authority
Every AuraGrade slab includes a QR code linked to a permanent record of every defect we measured — visible to anyone, forever.
Stop guessing.
Start knowing.
