Turned Manual Grading Research Into AI Recommendations for Pokemon Card

A hybrid ML and LLM engine compares raw and PSA-graded prices across 61,000 cards and recommends the grade.
~61,000 CARDS TRACKED • DAILY PRICE PULL • PSA 9 AND PSA 10 SCOPE • ~5-15 MIN DAILY RUN

The problem
Grading calls got made on gut feel, not on real card data.
Industry pain. Collectors and investors track raw and graded card prices by hand across scattered listings. Pokémon card values move fast, and a slow call misses the window.
Pokemon Card’s version. Roughly 61,000 cards move through the PSA 9 and PSA 10 market, each with its price, grading cost, and margin. Comparing all of it by hand does not scale.

An AI Platform Built To Turn Card Data Into a Daily Grading Call.
It automates the document-heavy part of grading decisions for Pokémon TCG collectors and investors: pulling prices, forecasting where they’re headed, and writing the recommendation, for every card in the set, every day.
In one screen
Every Card’s Price, Forecast, And Grading Call Together.
Your team opens one card and sees the current raw and PSA price, where the forecast says it’s headed, and the recommendation, side by side, with nothing to reconcile by hand.

Data Collection
Prices, pulled and validated daily.
Every day, the platform pulls raw and PSA 9/10 prices for roughly 61,000 cards from PriceCharting, validates them, and stores them in SQL automatically, with no manual download.

Forecast & Recommendation
A grading call, in plain English.
A regression and smoothing model forecasts where each card’s raw and graded price is headed, and a language model turns the strongest opportunities into a plain-English call: grade, hold, or skip.

AI-powered grading intelligence for Pokémon TCG card collectors and investors.
What's inside
A Hybrid ML And LLM Engine Built To Call Grading Decisions For You.
A card’s full price history first runs through a forecasting model that predicts where its raw and graded value are headed next, across the entire roughly-61,000-card set, every single day, without a person touching a spreadsheet or re-checking a listing by hand.
For the strongest opportunities, a language model turns that forecast into a plain-English grading call your team reviews and acts on, backed by role-based access and encrypted sessions throughout. Admins see every user, subscription, and payment in one dashboard, every card stays validated against its original PriceCharting source, and nothing reaches a customer until it has passed that check.
