Hello from Minty

About MintGrade

We make grading less of a gamble. Free tools, honest guides, and a photo pre-grading app on the way.

Why MintGrade exists

Grading a card costs real money, and most of the heartbreak happens after the fee is paid: the card comes back a 7 because of a corner nobody noticed, or it comes back a 9 when centering had ruled out a 10 all along. MintGrade exists to catch those problems before you pay.

What we promise

• Estimates, never grades. Only a grading company grades a card. We help you guess better.
• Dated numbers. Every fee and price on this site says when it was checked, because they change.
• No fake hype. No invented reviews, ratings or user counts. Ever.
• Independent. MintGrade is not affiliated with PSA, CGC, Beckett, SGC, TAG, The Pokemon Company or any marketplace. When we name another app or price site, we say so on the page.

Who is behind it

MintGrade is made by Viral Labs, a small independent studio that builds friendly AI-powered apps. The guides are written by the MintGrade team and checked against the grading companies' own published standards and price pages, which are linked at the bottom of each guide.
