Our AI grades first.
Our graders don’t see its score.
LORE has developed its own proprietary AI grading system—built for LORE and exclusive to LORE. Our system assesses your card while keeping its grade hidden from our human graders until both have recorded their own independent assessments.
Two graders. Three minutes each. Neither sees the AI score or the other grader’s assessment before submitting their own findings. They examine your card and make their own judgment.
Independent judgment by design.We then compare the findings. Any grade discrepancy, for any reason, receives a third review by our head grader. A second AI pass checks the assessment before final approval.
Explore our full 11-step process →THE LORE GRADING PROCESS
Two independent graders.
Two AI passes.
Care at every step.
Every card receives six minutes of independent human grading: three minutes with each of two graders, blind to the AI grade and each other’s assessment. Any grade discrepancy, for any reason, receives a third review by our head grader.
A second AI pass checks the assessment before labeling. Any new disagreement returns to the head grader for resolution.
Why we care · Explore all 11 stepsSEQUENTIAL POPULATION NUMBERING
Every card has a story.
This one has a place.
Centered on the front and back labels, the sequence number identifies when that exact card and variation completed LORE grading at that grade. Each card, variation and grade has its own sequence, starting at 00001.
00001 means the first completed grading for that exact card, variation and grade. It is separate from the unique certification serial number and the manufacturer’s print run.
