Centering
Centering measures the balance of the printed image on the card. The system measures the left-right and top-bottom margins from the scanned image to evaluate how well-centered the printing is.
Grading Standard
QAG Grading Standard
QAG evaluates cards across 4 main areas: Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface, using controlled imaging and Computer Vision to ensure results are evidence-based.
Corners
Corners involves inspecting the four corners of the card for wear, whitening, fraying, or abnormal shapes.
Edges
Edges checks the condition of the card borders for whitening, chipping, indentations, splitting, or any damage along the edges.
Surface
Surface inspects the card face and back for scratches, dents, scuffs, or abnormal textures. QAG uses multi-directional lighting to separate flaws that normal photography might miss.
QAG scores are not guessed by AI; they are measured and calculated from real images under a controlled process. The QAG team verifies the accuracy of the data, images, reports, and certs before publishing.
