PENNSYLVANIA, PA, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CardGrade.io, an AI-assisted trading card pre-screening platform, is expanding its collector workflow with Intelligence Grade analysis, Forensic Capture, collection tools, and a free centering calculator.

As of August 16, 2026, CardGrade’s internal dashboard shows more than 10,000 members and 39,674 completed card analyses. On the snapshot day, the dashboard recorded 1,020 analyses and 269 new members.

Intelligence Grade helps collectors review one full-card photo through 47 inspection points and a 16-zone condition map. The report can provide estimates across PSA, BGS, and CGC reference standards, while making clear that the output is an AI pre-screen and not an official grade from any professional grading company.

For higher-detail review, Forensic Capture adds eight macro close-ups: one for each corner on the front and back of a card. The additional images are intended to provide sharper evidence of whitening, edge wear, and corner condition for collectors and higher-volume users.

CardGrade is also building a connected collection workflow that helps users identify cards, organize a collection, and decide which cards may deserve closer review before submitting them to a professional grader. The workflow is designed to keep identification, collection organization, pre-screening, and later grading decisions in one place.

Collectors can also use CardGrade’s free card centering tool without an account. The tool measures front and back border ratios and compares the result with published reference standards. It is designed as a screening aid, not a substitute for a professional examination.

“Collectors want better information before they spend time and money preparing a submission,” said Jamie Budesky, founder of CardGrade.io. “Our focus is to make the pre-screening process more informative while keeping the distinction between an AI estimate and an official professional grade clear.”

CardGrade.io is available on the web and through its mobile workflow. More information is available at CardGrade.io, including the Forensic Capture feature and the free card centering tool.
