Grading Disclaimer

Important - Please Read Before Using The Service
1. AI Estimates, Not Professional Grades
CardRevive Grading provides AI-generated grade ESTIMATES. Our grades are NOT professional grades from PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), BGS (Beckett Grading Services), TAG (Technical Authentication & Grading), CGC, SGC, or any other professional grading company.
Our AI assessments are predictions based on image analysis. Actual grades from professional grading companies may differ from our estimates.
2. No Affiliation
CardRevive is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with PSA, Beckett/BGS, TAG, CGC, SGC, or any other professional card grading company. The use of these company names in our reports is solely for the purpose of providing grade estimates in formats familiar to collectors. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
3. No Guarantee Of Results
We do not guarantee that a card will receive any specific grade from a professional grading company based on our AI assessment. Factors that may cause differences between our estimate and a professional grade include:
- Defects not visible in flatbed scan images (micro-scratches visible only under angled light, surface indentations detectable only by touch)
- Differences between scanner image quality and in-person examination
- Variations in grading standards and interpretation between individual professional graders
- Authentication issues (our AI does not authenticate cards - it only assesses visible condition)
- Print quality variations within the same card set
- Differences in how each grading company weights subgrade categories
4. Not A Substitute For Professional Grading
Our Service is a pre-grading tool designed to help you make informed decisions about whether to submit cards for professional grading. It is not a replacement for professional grading.
We recommend using our grades as one input in your decision-making, alongside your own visual inspection and knowledge of the card.
5. Image Quality Matters
The accuracy of our AI assessment depends significantly on the quality of the images you provide. For best results:
- Use a flatbed scanner at 600 DPI or higher
- Ensure even lighting with no glare or shadows
- Scan cards outside of sleeves, toploaders, or cases
- Use a contrasting background (dark background for light-bordered cards, light background for dark-bordered cards)
Poor image quality, camera phone photos, images taken through plastic sleeves, or low-resolution scans will reduce grading accuracy.
6. Limitation Of Liability
CardRevive and itDreams accept no liability for financial losses, missed opportunities, or other damages resulting from reliance on our AI grade estimates. This includes but is not limited to:
- Cards that receive a lower professional grade than estimated
- Grading submission fees paid based on our estimates
- Buying or selling decisions made based on our estimates
- Cards damaged during submission to grading companies
7. Use At Your Own Risk
The decision to submit a card for professional grading, buy, sell, or trade a card based on our AI assessment is entirely yours. You accept full responsibility for any financial decisions made using our Service.
