⚡ Quick Grade Check

2. Edges

4. Centering

FREE grading estimate — NOT FINAL. This is a pre-grade estimate based on your answers, not an official grade. Subject to change when a real human puts eyes on it. Real grading is done in-hand, under light and magnification. When in doubt, submit it to us.

📸 Scan It — Photo Grade Request

Don't guess — show us. Snap front and back photos of your card, comic, or coin and a real person at S&R gives you a professional estimated grade. No questionnaire, no robots guessing. We look at your actual item, up close.

Request a photo grade estimate

Free. We reply with an honest estimated grade — usually within a couple of days. Your photos go straight to Sam & Ryan and are never posted or shared.

📋 Photo tips: flat surface, good light, no glare or flash reflection. Fill the frame with the item and keep all four corners visible. For coins, both sides and the edge. The better the photo, the better the estimate.

📝 Note: your photos upload straight to the S&R grading desk — no email needed.
