Coverage and limits
Supported Trading Cards and Limitations
CardRevive is designed around visible-condition assessment of trading cards. File acceptance does not mean every card construction has equal measurement coverage.
Coverage by card design
| Card type | Coverage | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Standard rectangular TCG cards | Best-supported shape | The library recognises Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic, Dragon Ball, Digimon, Lorcana, and an Other category. |
| Sports and other trading cards | Accepted with variable identification | The condition pipeline is not restricted to one game, but card identity and set recognition may be less consistent and can be stored as Other. |
| Borderless and full-art cards | Accepted with centering limits | With little or no visible border, geometric centering may be low-confidence or unavailable; the report should not imply a measured ratio when evidence is insufficient. |
| Die-cut or unusually shaped cards | Accepted with geometry limits | The processor can identify some die-cut geometry, but standard edge, corner, and centering assumptions may not transfer cleanly. |
| Foil, holo, chrome, and textured cards | Accepted with capture limits | Reflections and texture can hide scratches or imitate surface defects. Diffuse lighting or a suitable flatbed scan is especially important. |
| Cards inside plastic or slabs | Not recommended | The service may accept the image file, but plastic adds its own glare, dust, scratches, and distortion. Remove the card where it is safe and appropriate. |
| Oversized, miniature, transparent, lenticular, or novelty cards | Not specifically validated | These formats may upload, but this site does not claim benchmarked coverage for their geometry or materials. |
Purposes the grader does not support
- Authenticating a card, autograph, patch, relic, or printing variation.
- Certifying that a card is unaltered, unrestored, untrimmed, or genuine.
- Predicting how a grading company will treat an error, miscut, qualifier, or special designation.
- Replacing a grader's in-hand inspection, encapsulation, population report, or certificate.
- Guaranteeing market value, restoration suitability, or a profitable submission.
Start with card-specific capture guidance
Choose the closest card family for practical capture and interpretation notes. Every route uses the same private upload workflow and the same visible-condition limits; these pages do not claim a separate grading engine or official company result.
If your card is unusual
Start with the scan requirements and capture both sides without plastic. If shape, finish, or construction makes the evidence ambiguous, treat defaulted dimensions and low-confidence notes as a reason to inspect manually—not as a neutral condition score.
