"I sell raw Pokemon cards on eBay. Sleeve glare used to hide the exact condition. Now buyers can see centering, corners, and surface quality clearly. My average sale price went up 15%." @PokemonDealer_Sarah

Create Grading-Quality Trading Card Photos
-
Upload your card photo
Drop your trading card photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photograph the card in its sleeve or toploader. Shoot both front and back, plus corner close-ups for high-value cards.
Glare removal: 15-20 seconds. Holographic cards with complex reflections: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe the edit you want
Type 'remove glare from card sleeve, show centering and corner condition clearly' for a complete listing shot. For holographic cards, try 'remove sleeve glare but preserve holographic pattern'.
For holographic or foil cards, add 'preserve holographic pattern' to keep the foil effect visible while removing unwanted reflections. -
Verify condition details
Zoom into all four corners to verify condition is visible. Check centering by looking at border widths. Ensure surface quality details like print lines or whitening are clearly documented.
Card graders check corners, edges, centering, and surface. Make sure all four elements are clearly visible in your photos. -
Refine specific areas if needed
If glare persists on one corner or the holographic pattern was affected, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Card photos typically need only minor adjustments after the first pass.
Mark individual corners if glare remains. Targeted refinement is more effective than re-processing the entire card.

Common Trading Card Photo Issues
Holographic pattern was removed along with glare
Why: The AI cannot always distinguish between unwanted sleeve glare and desired holographic reflections.
remove sleeve glare only, preserve holographic foil pattern and card art, keep holo effect visible
Mark the holographic area to protect it, then specify glare removal only. This helps the AI distinguish wanted from unwanted reflections.
Corner condition details were smoothed out
Why: Enhancement algorithms may smooth edge whitening or corner wear, hiding condition details.
enhance sharpness on corners only, preserve all edge whitening and wear as-is, do not smooth or clean corners
Adding 'do not smooth corners' explicitly prevents the AI from cosmetically improving corner condition.
Card centering looks different after editing
Why: Uneven cropping or shadow removal can shift the apparent centering of the card.
enhance lighting evenly without shifting card position, preserve true centering and border proportions
Check border widths on all four sides after editing. Even lighting changes can create the illusion of different centering.
Glare persists on one section of the card
Why: Heavy localized glare sometimes needs targeted attention rather than a full-card approach.
Tap marker on remaining glare spot, then: remove this specific glare while preserving card surface beneath
Place a marker directly on the stubborn glare spot. Targeted removal is more effective than repeating the full prompt.
Card colors look oversaturated or shifted
Why: Color enhancement can shift card colors, which affects identification and authenticity perception.
remove glare, preserve original card colors exactly, no color enhancement or saturation changes
Add 'no color enhancement' for cards where exact color representation matters, especially for authentication.
Trading Card Seller Questions
How do I remove glare from card sleeves and toploaders?
Type 'remove glare from card sleeve and toploader, show card surface clearly' in EditThisPic. The AI specifically targets the reflections from protective sleeves while preserving the card's surface details underneath. For stubborn spots, tap a marker directly on the glare.
Can I photograph holographic cards without losing the holo effect?
Yes. Use 'remove sleeve glare but preserve holographic foil pattern.' The AI distinguishes between unwanted sleeve glare and the card's actual holographic effect. You may need 2-3 tries to get the perfect balance between glare removal and holo preservation.
How do I show centering accurately for grading?
Use 'enhance lighting evenly across card surface, show border widths clearly.' Even lighting is key because shadows can make one border appear wider than the other. The AI normalizes lighting so buyers can assess true centering.
Will the AI hide corner whitening or edge wear?
Not if you specify 'preserve all condition details' or 'honest condition documentation.' The AI will clean glare and background while keeping every bit of corner whitening, edge wear, and surface imperfection visible.
What background color works best for trading cards?
Dark backgrounds (black or dark gray) work best for most cards because they create contrast that makes edges and borders visible. Use 'clean dark backdrop' for standard cards. For dark-bordered cards, try 'neutral gray' to maintain edge visibility.
Should I photograph cards in or out of sleeves?
Keep cards in protective sleeves for safety, then use EditThisPic to remove the sleeve glare. This gives you the best of both worlds: cards stay protected during photography, and the AI removes the glare that sleeves create.
