Innovative technology offers fast and accurate grades in a fraction of the time offered by traditional card grading companies
Card Boss announces patent for AI card grading technology
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 1, 2024 – Card Boss, the industry’s first all-AI card grading company, is now the first and only card grading company to hold a patent for its innovative artificial intelligence technology. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded Card Boss patent No. US 12,106,334 B2 for “artificial intelligence-based system and method for grading collectible trading cards,” on Oct. 1, 2024. Card grading helps collectors assess the quality of a trading card. Its popularity continues to surge with more than 17 million cards graded in 2023, according to third-party tracker GemRate.
“Card collecting has exploded in the last few years bringing a significant demand for faster, easier, more accurate ways to grade trading cards,” said Shaun Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Card Boss. “The old way of grading cards takes significant time and costs lots of money. We’re here to make the most of your investment. We have a proven record for grading your cards at the same level as our competitors while taking the element of human error out of our grades,” Rogers said.
The patent abstract establishes a “system and method for digitally grading collectible trading cards on a predefined standard scale. The collectible trading cards are graded using images … the quantitative data can then be processed using a pre-trained machine learning model to obtain a grade for the collectible trading card.”
“We appreciate the USPTO’s thorough and transparent review of our groundbreaking technology. This patent establishes Card Boss as the leader and innovator of AI card grading technology and is one more proof point for why our customers can trust our technology to delivery fast, accurate grades in minutes, not months,” Rogers continued.
Card Boss’s patented technology is built into its app available for both Apple and Android devices in North America.
