Grade Ready Changelog
A polished record of the updates that make multi-game grading, research, collection tracking, pricing, and card decisions cleaner.
Each release is organized around the collector workflow it improves, so the history reads like product progress instead of a wall of technical notes.
Release history
Released updates and product progress.
Grade Ready changes are grouped by the collector problem they solve: editing the collection faster, finding the right product, avoiding stale context, and keeping the next action obvious.
v 2.0
Stronger grading evidence, a guided Deep Audit, Vendor Desk, Entry Radar, and faster collection work. All inside Grade Ready.
-
Updated audits learn from real card images
Machine learning improves Pokémon whitening review. Source-backed close-ups keep the evidence visible beside corner, edge, and surface checks.
-
Introducing Deep Audit
Capture every corner and both halves of each edge. The second inspection can support, raise, or lower the estimate and returns one updated report.
-
Vendor Desk keeps the show connected
Manage table inventory, buys, sales, trades, show costs, and margins from one place inside Grade Ready.
-
Entry Radar finds better entry points
Research raw and PSA 10 pullbacks from recent highs across Pokémon, Japanese Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, and Magic. Compare real historical highs and lows before you move.
-
Collection work takes fewer steps
Quick Edit updates cost, quantity, and grading status. Collection, Watchlist, and Sold are easier to move through, and saved reports keep the latest combined evidence.
-
A smoother app from capture to report
Clearer capture guides, smoother navigation, cleaner reports, and reliability fixes improve the full workflow. Quick Compare is now Authenticity Check.
v 1.9
Faster research, more precise pricing, clearer collection context, and a professional new look across the app.
-
Research responds faster and resets cleanly
Shorter typing delays make card searches feel more immediate, while switching TCGs now clears old text and results so one game cannot leak into another.
-
Every printing keeps its own market identity
Stronger matching keeps regular, alternate-art, manga, promo, and reprint pricing isolated so values cannot bleed between different products.
-
Sealed Research takes up less space
A compact product picker reveals sealed categories only when requested, while returning to Research refreshes product imagery and pricing more reliably.
-
Your portfolio context stays with you
Grade Ready remembers the active portfolio between launches, and Home now presents collection value, performance, key metrics, and the top driver in a cleaner brief.
-
A professional theme now leads the app
The new default appearance brings page backgrounds, section surfaces, icons, navigation, and the page switcher into one consistent visual system, with additional themes in Settings.
-
Market signals are more meaningful
English Pokémon Pulse rankings now emphasize stronger sales activity and cards valued at $10 or more, with clearer Most Valuable methodology.
v 1.8
Grading becomes more evidence-aware while collection controls, Collector Studio, and multi-game Research become faster and clearer.
-
More reliable Full Grade Audits
Finish-aware review improves grading for standard, holo, foil, IR/SIR, and textured cards while reducing false damage calls from glare, printed borders, foil patterns, and smooth card contours.
-
Uncertain evidence gets a targeted retake
When a surface result is not strong enough for an exact grade, GradeReady explains what needs another look and offers a focused checkpoint retake.
-
Collection controls move faster
Collection, Watchlist, and Sold now have independent filters, search, multi-select, card-language sorting, and faster moves into new or existing portfolios.
-
Collector Studio is easier to understand
Specialized Tools now presents clearer paths to GradeReady Quick Compare and the dedicated TCG Checker app.
-
Research keeps going across every supported TCG
Collectors can continue loading results across Pokémon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering, and Disney Lorcana instead of stopping at the first result page.

Market details are clearer
