Upload a photo of your Pokémon or Lorcana card and get its left/right and top/bottom
centering ratio in seconds, plus a quick corner check. It's a simplified
version of our full grading analysis, run from a single photo - a quick guide,
not a certified grade.

Corners
This pre-check looks at centering and corners only. Those are the
two things we can read from a single photo. It is not the full CALIBRE scan —
which also measures surface, flatness and authenticity under calibrated lighting to produce a
certified grade — and is not representative of your final grade. Treat it
as a rough guide.

The full CALIBRE scan measures every factor under calibrated lighting — centering, corners, edges, surface, flatness and authenticity — for a certified grade.

What do the numbers mean?
Centering is how evenly the picture sits inside the card's border. We give it as left/right and top/bottom ratios - 50/50 is perfectly centred. For Pokémon cards, a worst-axis split up to about 55/45 still scores full marks on centering; it drops off from there. Lorcana's own inner frame is intentionally off-centre top-to-bottom by design, so we only check its left/right split.
Corners get a quick check for visible wear or rounding from the same photo.
This is a guide from one photo, not your real grade. A full CALIBRE grade also measures the edges and surface, and checks the card by hand for authenticity under calibrated lighting - see more on how centering is scored, or grade my cards →.
