We pride ourselves on being consistent and honest, big grading company’s run cards through and it’s a crapshoot on what standard you can expect that given day. at RWT it’s one person, from start to finish, with a mix of human grading and AI to assist with the ability to actually look at the card. No more AI thinks there is a issue and it was just a mark on the Lense (that has happened to me) we verify evert single aspect of the card before issuing a grade and sending it out.

Sub-Grade Standards

Every card starts with 100 HP in all 4 graded categories, with points taken for issues with the card.

So a card with one small print mark would have 99/100 Surface, divided by 10 gives you a 9.9 Surface. the same goes for Edges and corners. with heavy damage areas being measured and accounted for by 1 point per MM. over 5 MM automatically reduces the overall grade to 5, regardless of other subgrades.

Below are some examples and our standards.

Here at RWT we used a inhouse built AI program to grade your cards, with a Human Grader that verify every grade. We have the ability to override the system should it not detect something we see as well as if the AI picks up something that is not physically there.
