Slab Read

You take a photo of the slab and we read the card, the grade and the cert number off the label.

A slab does not fit a sheet feeder, so take a photo of it, or scan it on a flatbed. Slab Read takes the card, the grade and the cert number off the label.

Starting a slab batch

1. Open Graded cards and pick the category in Slab Read. For a card game, pick the language too.
2. Press Add cards. We start a batch of slabs and open its Add cards page.
3. Shoot each slab straight on, in even light. Plastic throws glare over the small print.

Every card in that batch is read as a slab, so keep slabs and loose cards in separate batches.

Checking a cert number

We do not look cert numbers up for you. PSA used to offer that free and now charges for it, so we send you to PSA Cert Verification. It needs no account.

The cert number we read sits beside the grade on the card, so you can check it and type over it. See Condition and whether a card is graded.

CGC, BGS and SGC offer no lookup at all, so those have always come off the label.

What a graded card is worth

Graded and raw are two different markets, so we never price a graded card from raw sales.

We give a graded card no price. Type one yourself, or press Open on eBay and price it from what you see.
