Front and back are required
Upload one complete front photo and one complete back photo. Both must show the full card and all four corners.
Capture standard
Better photos create better grade estimates.
CCA pre-grading is only as strong as the evidence in the images. Use original camera files, readable text, visible edges, and even lighting.
Use original high-resolution files
Do not upload screenshots, compressed marketplace images, or enlarged low-resolution files. 4K-ready images improve review confidence.
Remove sleeves and glare
Photograph the card outside sleeves or cases. Use soft, even light and avoid reflections over text, number, copyright line, or foil areas.
Add evidence views
For valuable cards, add edge, foil, texture, corner, and close-up detail photos. These views improve condition analysis and grade confidence.
