Our Partnership with AGS
Revolutionising Card Grading Through AI Technology
At 8bitbeyond, we've made the strategic decision to partner exclusively with AGS (Automated Grading Services) as our sole grading provider. This partnership represents our commitment to embracing cutting-edge artificial intelligence and robotics technology in the trading card industry.
Why We Chose AGS
The reason we've moved over to using AGS solely as our grading provider is simple: AI and robotics deliver an unbiased grading service. There is nothing left to human suggestion or interpretation. This means that grades will always be consistent.
Unlike traditional grading services that rely on human interpretation, AGS uses 100% AI-powered assessment to ensure every card receives identical scrutiny and assessment criteria. Every grade is determined by measurable data points rather than human opinion.
The Technology Advantage
AGS's revolutionary approach uses advanced AI algorithms and robotic scanning technology to identify microscopic defects and imperfections that may be missed by human graders. Their system provides:
Unbiased Consistency - Every card receives the same level of scrutiny with identical assessment criteria, eliminating the variability that occurs with human graders.
Advanced Detection - Microscopic scanning technology identifies defects and imperfections invisible to the human eye, providing superior accuracy.
Transparent Process - Detailed breakdowns show exact scores for centering, corners, surfaces, and edges with complete insight into the assessment process.
Objective Standards - Grades are based on measurable data points rather than human interpretation, ensuring reliability you can trust.
Addressing Market Perceptions
While AGS graded cards are still building marketplace recognition compared to established grading services, we believe this represents an opportunity rather than a limitation. Currently, there is not a huge amount of data on sales in the marketplace, so people's perception of values will always be questioned regardless of the grading company.
We're positioning ourselves at the forefront of where the industry is heading. Early adoption of superior technology has always been rewarded in collectibles markets, and we believe AGS represents the future standard for card grading.
As more collectors and dealers recognize the superior consistency and objectivity of AI grading, market acceptance will naturally follow. The technology eliminates human bias and subjectivity - factors that have long been concerns in traditional grading.
Moving Forward
All 8bitbeyond card grading services are now processed exclusively through AGS, ensuring our customers receive the most consistent, unbiased grading available in the market today. This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing cutting-edge services that prioritise accuracy and fairness above all else.
When you choose 8bitbeyond for your grading needs, you're not just getting a grade - you're getting a scientifically accurate assessment backed by advanced AI technology that treats every card with the same level of precision and objectivity.
