PSA has controlled the sports card grading space for years. Despite complaints about slow turnaround times, inconsistent grading, and even fraudulent grading, the card bros continue to grovel at PSA’s fickle, weird grading.
Now, though, there’s a new competitor in town—Zeagley AI Sports Card Grading, an AI-powered system ready to challenge the status quo and bring accuracy and speed to the industry. I mean, like AI precision…
What is Zeagley AI Sports Card Grading?
Advance, AI sports cards grading is what it is. It’s here, folks. The ultimate tool to rid our industry of human error. The program was developed by engineers for tech companies. Zeagley uses high-res imagin and AI machine learning to analyze EVERY detail of a card – edges, surface, corners, centering. WITH AI PRECISION.
Launch Date & Initial Buzz
We’re running just a bit late. Zeagley officially launched on June 13, 2025, and will make its grand entrance at Fanatics Fest later this month.
The technology has already impressed collectors with its instant grading capabilities and detailed digital reports via QR codes.
Of course, though, while the service is great and takes care of all complaints that the card bro’s have always had about PSA…there are, of course, the negative ninnies of the word. Get ready to get SICK of the term “traditional grading”.
How Good is Zeagley?
Zeagley employs thousands of high-resolution checkpoints to guarantee accurate grading, achieving the same grade 95% of the time as HQ-level analysis.
It offers instant results, transparent grading reports, and plans to introduce remote grading, eliminating the need to send cards in for evaluation.
Impact on the Sports Card Market
Zeagley could change the $10 billion collectibles industry by providing fast, fair, and affordable grading. Card grading starts at just $9.99, making it easier for more collectors to get high-quality services. Working with leaders like DraftKings may help bring AI grading into the larger sports community.
The PSA Problem & Why Collectors Might Resist Change
PSA is the most well-known grading company, even though people often complain about its inconsistency and delays. Many collectors stick with PSA because they think its grades are more valuable. While Zeagley provides better accuracy and speed, PSA’s reputation may make some collectors hesitant to try AI-driven grading.
Time for a Change
Zeagley presents a game-changing alternative to traditional grading. Whether collectors embrace it or not, AI grading is the future, offering transparency and precision that PSA has failed to deliver. The industry now faces a choice: stick with outdated methods or embrace innovation.
My Next Step: Putting Zeagley to the Test
With all the promise and potential behind Zeagley, I’m not just going to sit on the sidelines—I plan to try it out for myself. I’ll submit a batch of cards, compare the results, and report back on whether the AI lives up to the hype. Stay tuned.
Too many red flags for me, dawg. Their LLC addresses trace back to a virtual office in Spokane and a post office in Seattle. They’re claiming to be a squad of ex-Amazon, Meta, and Google engineers. Said they’ll be at Fanatics Fest—but funny, they’re nowhere on the floor plan. Their site? Taking payments for submissions, no label revealed, and every card shown has what looks like a photoshopped label slapped over a PSA slab. For a company preaching transparency, there’s been none. Do some research before you start shilling for them.
Yeah, def sketch. I’m trying to wish it into existence LOL. Anything to be rid of PSA! Thanks for stopping by.
