## FAQ
### Are AI card grades accurate?
They are estimates from photos: glare, sleeves and photo quality hide defects that a grader sees in hand. Use them to sort cards, not as a guarantee.

### Which grading companies do these apps estimate?
Midpoint estimates PSA, BGS, CGC and TAG. Check each app’s listing for the others.
