We know your card before we grade it
Most photo-grading tools read one image and guess. DCM Optic™ checks every Pokémon card against our own database first — so the set, card number, rarity, and print variant on your label are verified, not invented.

What database matching actually fixes
Set totals that actually match. A card numbered 127 from a 94-card set is a secret rare, not card 127 of 94. We check the printed total so your label reads #127/094, not a number we made up.
Misread digits get caught. A blurry 7 that scans as a 1 would send a Charizard to the wrong card entirely. If only one card in the set matches the name, we correct the number instead of trusting the photo.
Reprints stay separate. Base Set, Base Set 2, Legendary Collection and the 151 reprints share artwork. Matching on set plus number keeps a 1999 Charizard from being labeled as a modern reprint.
Japanese cards are first-class. Japanese-exclusive promos and set codes are matched against the Japanese database, not force-fitted to the closest English name.
Graded the way Pokémon cards actually fail
Holo scratches, edge whitening on dark borders, and vintage centering are what separate a 9 from a 10 on a Pokémon card. DCM Optic™ inspects each of them at magnification, front and back.
Holofoil surface
Scratches on a holo pattern hide in the glare. Magnified inspection separates real surface damage from the foil texture itself — the single most common reason a Pokémon card is over- or under-graded.
Edge whitening on dark borders
Black-bordered cards — vintage holos, full arts, modern ex and V cards — show every speck of white. Each edge is scored separately so one worn edge does not quietly sink the whole grade.
Vintage centering
1999-era print runs were rarely well centered. Left/right and top/bottom ratios are measured on both faces and reported as numbers, so you can see exactly why a card capped where it did.

What Collectors Are Saying
“I graded 30 cards from my binder in an afternoon. Found two worth sending to PSA and saved myself from submitting the other 28.”
Mike R.

“The sub-grades tell me exactly why a card missed a 10. That is worth more to me than the number itself.”
Anthony M.
Sports Card Enthusiast
“Being able to check a card before I buy it at a show has completely changed how I shop.”
