THE IGC HUMAN + AI VERIFICATION SYSTEM
HUMAN JUDGMENT.
AI-ASSISTED PRECISION.
Every card graded by Integrity Grading Company is evaluated using the IGC Human + AI Verification System — a blended grading process combining detailed human inspection with AI-assisted condition analysis.
IGC evaluates multiple condition points across every card, including:
- All four corners
- All four edges
- Four surface quadrants on the front
- Four surface quadrants on the back
- Scratches, dents, dimples and other surface deficiencies
- Front centering
- Back centering
- Print quality and registration
- Overall structural integrity
AI-assisted analysis helps identify condition inconsistencies, evaluate centering, compare inspection areas and apply IGC grading standards consistently from card to card.
Technology assists the process. A human grader physically inspects, reviews and verifies every final IGC grade before encapsulation.
This blended approach is designed to provide greater consistency, precision and confidence in every IGC grade.
— INTEGRITY, PRECISION, CONFIDENCE.

THE IGC STANDARD
The grade lives in the details.
IGC condition reviews are built around the physical characteristics collectors inspect most closely. The goal is consistency, clear documentation, and a grade that can be understood—not just displayed.
Corners
Sharpness, touches, wear, fraying, softness, and structural integrity under close inspection.
Edges
Whitening, chipping, rough cuts, edge wear, and consistency across all four sides.
Surface
Scratches, print defects, dimples, staining, gloss, indentations, and visible surface flaws.
IGC GEM MT 10
Reserved for cards that meet the highest IGC condition standard.
An IGC 10 reflects exceptional presentation across centering, corners, edges, and surface.
Strong eye appeal
Sharp presentation
Minimal visible defects

ABOUT IGC
Integrity behind every grade.
Integrity Grading Company brings detailed condition review and clear certification records to collectible cards.
Our blended Human + AI Verification System combines physical human inspection with AI-assisted condition analysis. A human grader reviews and verifies each final grade before encapsulation.
Each published certification record provides a reference for the card’s identity, IGC grade, and available photographs. Scan the QR code on a current label or enter the printed certification number above to review the record.
CLEAR INFORMATION FOR COLLECTORS
Confidence through transparency.
IGC records its own condition assessment. A grade is an opinion of condition, not an independent market-value appraisal.
Condition opinion
An IGC grade reflects the card’s condition at the time of review. Other evaluators may reach a different conclusion.
Affiliated seller
A card bearing IGC certification may be owned, evaluated, encapsulated, and offered for sale by an affiliated seller.
Registry verification
Compare the certification number, card details, photographs, and physical holder. A matching record alone does not establish that a physical slab is genuine or untampered.
