How DCM Grading Works
Grade your cards in three simple steps. No account setup hassles, no complicated forms.
Upload Your Card Photos

What DCM Evaluates
DCM analyzes the same four key factors used by professional grading companies like PSA, BGS, and CGC.
Centering
Measures how well the image is centered on the card. We calculate precise left/right and top/bottom border ratios for both front and back.
Corners
Examines all four corners for whitening, dings, bends, or wear. Sharp, pristine corners are essential for high grades.
Edges
Analyzes all four edges for chipping, whitening, or damage. Clean edges without wear significantly impact the overall grade.
Surface
Inspects the card surface for scratches, print lines, staining, holo damage, and other defects that affect appearance and value.
DCM Grading Scale
DCM uses a 10-point grading scale aligned with industry standards. Each grade reflects the overall condition of your card.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DCM grading the same as PSA, BGS, or CGC grading?
DCM applies the same evaluation criteria as PSA, BGS, and SGC, but does it from your photos in seconds instead of taking weeks via mail. The grade you get is independent and not officially recognized by those companies, but the methodology is the same and many collectors use DCM grades alongside or in place of mail-away grading.
How accurate is DCM's AI grading?
DCM Optic™ analyzes 30+ condition factors using computer vision, then averages three independent passes to keep the grade stable. Accuracy is bounded by your photo quality — clear, well-lit photos produce grades that align closely with what professional services would assign.
Do I need to ship my cards?
No! DCM is completely digital. Simply take photos of your card's front and back and upload them. Your cards never leave your possession.
What photo quality do I need?
For best results, use good lighting (natural light works great), place your card on a flat, contrasting surface, and take clear, focused photos. Most modern smartphones work perfectly.
Can I use DCM grades to sell my cards?
Yes! Many collectors use DCM grades and reports to inform buyers about card condition. Our downloadable labels and slab images are perfect for listings. For maximum resale value, some buyers prefer physically encapsulated cards, but DCM grades are increasingly recognized as a trusted condition reference in the marketplace.
How long does grading take?
Most cards are graded in 30-60 seconds. Upload your photos and the full grade report is back almost instantly.
