  • IDENTIFYING AND GRADING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS FOR COLLECTIBLE ITEMS
    Publication number: 20250069091
    Abstract: An automated evaluation system for obtaining images for collectible items and using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze different parameters of the images, such as an edge parameter, a corner parameter, and a centering parameter. The system can move the collectible items, which can be collectible cards, using a robotic arm or through manual manipulation to a working area to then obtain images of the collectible items using a camera or a scanner. The images can be saved to a database and accessible by a control computer to analyze the images with the AI model. The system can provide a first-pass grade as to the authenticity and condition of the card. The grade can be manually verified by a human grader.
