Sharing a pet project of mine centered around card grading

Mods can delete this if not allowed. There is no monetary incentive to me as I’m just working on building out a pet project.

I created a website (https://grading-game.onrender.com) which is currently in “beta”, that asks users what grade they think a card should have received. It’ll track these user responses and eventually generate a community average for these cards.

There will be leaderboards for the most “over” or “under” graded cards.

I’ve also allowed users to submit their own PSA carts if they wanted it to get added to the universe of cards that gets graded by the community.

No real purpose of this website, other than to see what others think some cards should have graded.

I may have created this since my Alakazam came back a 5 and I think it deserved higher, but also maybe that is not the reason.

Take a look if you care and I’d love some feedback. Thanks for entertaining my pet project.

Just tried it, and it’s definitely well made! Pretty fun too, especially when it comes to vintage cards, since you have to use your brain a little more, while modern often feels like a coin flip between 9-10

Kinda fun. Id imagine it would humble alot of people in todays time as well as make people aware of just how subjective grading can be.

I also quite enjoyed it. Would it be possible to make categories for each eras or something? I’d love to just focus on the vintage side and don’t really care about modern.

You and me both.

Yes I think I’m going to add a section to focus specifically on vintage versus modern.

I’ll add it tonight.

The vintage is a lot more fun compared to modern, for this type of grading, in my opinion.

Send me some vintage carts you have and I’ll add them in

yeah I thought the same too. I’ll add functionality tonight to allow for just modern, vintage, or both.

Send any vintage carts you have and I’ll get them added in!

It was fun. One felt a bit cruel though as it must have had a dent or whatever so was a 5 but looked 9.

I guess that’s the point though? But if it was in hand I would have hoped to have noticed.

Anyway I’m waffling. It was fun.

Maybe it was my Alakazam…

Awesome! If it makes you feel better, I would’ve graded your Alakazam a 7 I think (or maybe it was a 6, not too sure). But I remember I was surprised to see it only got a 5.

I collect raw so can’t contribute much but I do have 2 slabs right now that I can add later!

I’m vindicated now that someone else thinks it should not have gotten a 5. Yeah add them later and I’ll see about getting them loaded.

I’m going to split out the modern / vintage now and try to add more vintage

Wow! Awesome website! Some of those actual PSA grades are just diabolical :rofl:

I will say, I wish you could go back and look at the card once you’ve submitted the grade, instead of continuing or going to the website.

I just made it so you can view the card again, also added the vintage / modern filter

Awesome! That’s way cool! Also, would there be a way to, after you go back and view the card (after having submitted your grade), to go back and see the submission grade screen without having to just go to the next card?

Like, after submitting, going to this screen:

From this screen:

Also my wife and I are having a blast with this rn lol

So basically have a button that says review grade score or something? and launch the popup box again?

Something like that yeah!

Also, idk how you feel about competition or whatever, but I just thought of having a login where I could see how accurate I am, and then see how accurate other people are, then having “the most accurate grader” or something. Or even having badges like E4 does. Idk what those badges would even be, but I gotta collect them all lol

I considered that but figured most people wouldn’t want to create a login for this. I feel like I may be able to track it without the need for a login (assuming you’re not in an incognito window or something similar)

I added the button for “See Score” once you go back and review the card

Having a blast with it honestly! Also nice to see that I’m basically on the same page as the “community” so far mostly. Also, whoever posted that Base 2 Venusaur, you got robbed my guy, I’m sorry for you :joy: :sob:
