Snap the front and back
Use your phone. A photo with glare on the card is refused on the spot so you can tilt and retake, because glare hides what the grade depends on.
Glare checkedKnow the grade before you submit.
AI measures centering front and back, maps every corner, edge and surface mark, and estimates the grade on each major grader's scale, from two phone photos.

HOW IT WORKS
Two photos in, a full report out
No light box, no ruler, no guesswork. Photograph the card and MerchUp does the measuring.
Every side measured
Guide lines find the cut edge and printed frame on all four sides. Corners are magnified, edges traced, the surface read mark by mark.
Front and backGraded on every scale
The most likely grade on each grader's own scale, how confident it is, and the graded sold price at that grade.
Six gradersEvery measurement, shown its working.
Not a mystery number. Watch each check run on one card, or tap any step to jump to it.
Back 58 / 42

An AI estimate from your photos, not a grading company's verdict.
Six graders. Six rulebooks.
A 9 at one company isn't a 9 at another. Each estimate follows that grader's own scale, labels and published centering tolerances.
PSA
PSA
- 1 to 10 with half grades
- Only one minor flaw allowed at a 9
BGS
Beckett
- Four subgrades; the lowest caps the grade
- Pristine 10 and Black Label at the top
CGC
CGC
- Its own labels, like NM/M+ 8.5
- A Pristine 10 above Gem Mint
SGC
SGC
- Its own wording, like EX/NM 6
- A Pristine 10 at the top
TAG
TAG
- Lenient back centering
- No 9.5, so a near-miss reads 9
ACE
ACE
- Gem Mint 10 allows 60/40
- Same line front and back
One card, three different 10 lines
This card's front measures 52/48. It clears PSA's and ACE's 10 line, but not Beckett's Pristine 50/50.

Answers on scanning and listing products, template-driven descriptions, AI SEO, selling in person, plans and billing.
Yes. Scan a product photo, a barcode or a trading card with your phone, your computer's camera, a barcode scanner or uploaded photos, and MerchUp AI fills every Shopify field: title, description, SEO, tags, variants and price. Product scanning is included on every plan; trading cards use the card scanner add-on.
Scanning products is included on every plan. Barcodes and products already in the MerchUp catalogue are free, and an AI lookup is only charged when the AI identifies a product we don't already know. Trading cards use the card scanner add-on: £7.99 a month for 1,000 scans, £19.99 for 5,000 or £39.99 for unlimited. Each card scan includes the card's identity, market price, cleaned-up photos, centering and a grade estimate. A full condition report is 0.4 credits extra.
MerchUp AI measures each card's centering from your scan and estimates the grade it would likely get from the major grading companies, with a condition report that points out wear on the corners, edges and surface. It is an estimate to help you price a card and decide whether to send it for grading, not an official grade.
Yes. MerchUp AI can turn a product photo into a clean studio shot or place it in a lifestyle scene, such as a living room, kitchen, outdoor setting or luxury marble. Each enhanced photo costs 1 credit and is kept beside your original, so you can always switch back.
Yes. MerchUp AI can refresh the products already in your store: listing details, template-driven descriptions, AI photos and SEO. Every change waits for your approval before it's pushed, and your history lets you restore an earlier version at any time.
Yes, on Pro and Scale. Pick a date and time and MerchUp AI publishes the product to your store when it's due, so launches and drops go live on schedule.
