Add a Detect Slab or Grade Report to eBay and TCGPlayer Listings
Export a Detect slab (Free) or an Elite PDF report, attach it next to your photos, and disclose that it is an AI estimate — not a PSA label. Buyers pay more when condition is documented.
Raw “NM” is a discount. Buyers cannot see your loupe. After Detect Grading you can export a visual slab (available on Free after a grade) or an Elite PDF/PNG report with notes — then put that file in the listing next to honest card photos. Some sellers price that documentation 10–20% over generic NM comps. The premium is not guaranteed, and it is not a PSA grade.
What you can attach
- Detect slab (Free, Pro, Elite). After a grade, use Export Slab on the result. You get a PNG that looks like a holder overlay with the TCGdetect estimate — useful as listing image #2 or #3.
- Grade report (Elite). Elite can download a PDF or PNG report with the range, factor notes, and card photos. Pro does not include the PDF report; Pro still gets slab export, more Detect Tokens, and full grading history.
How to list it without getting returns
- Photograph the actual card. Square, even light, front and back.
- Run Detect Grading. If the range is ugly, do not slap a slab PNG on a $200 ask — the report will argue against you.
- Export the slab (any tier) and, on Elite, the PDF or PNG report.
- On eBay or TCGPlayer, upload: (1) raw front, (2) raw back, (3) slab or report image. Keep the first image the real card so search thumbnails stay honest.
- In the description, write that it is a TCGdetect AI estimate, not graded by PSA, CGC, or BGS. Include the range (“Detect Grading estimated 8–9 on these photos”).
About that 10–20% premium
Buyers pay extra when they can see condition instead of gambling on “NM.” A clear Detect overlay plus real photos can support asking above average raw comps — some listings land roughly 10–20% over a no-photo NM sale. Others do not, especially if the card is common, the photos are bad, or you imply a lab grade. Price against recent sold listings for the same printing, then add a documentation premium only if the AI range and pictures actually look strong.
Never imply it is a PSA slab
Do not put “PSA 10” in the title because Detect Grading liked the centering. Marketplace policies and buyer trust both fail if an AI overlay is dressed up as a lab label. Same rule in reverse: do not Detect Grade someone else’s slab photo and advertise that as a recert. How the model works. Free vs Pro vs Elite.
If the copy still looks like a 10 after the screen, the better money may be a real lab — not a prettier raw listing. Worth grading?
