THE FLUX GRADING PROCESS
Technology measures it. Experience confirms it.
Every card moves through computerized inspection and trained human review before its final grade is sealed into a FLUX slab.
ONE CARD · TWO EVALUATIONS
A final grade built from data and judgment.
Computerized technology inspects the full card and calculates its preliminary grade from four condition subgrades. A trained grader then examines the same card, compares the human assessment with the computerized result, and determines the final grade.

CAPTURE
Card imaging and scan
The card is imaged and scanned so the computerized inspection system can examine the entire front and back in detail.
