Glare and finish
Foil glare can hide the exact clues that separate one print from another. A cleaner angle usually helps more than a dramatic photo.
Accuracy and confidence
Accuracy is not a slogan. It is the quality of the evidence you give the scan.
PullScope is designed to stay useful without pretending every card can be settled from one imperfect photo. Confidence tells you how much the visible evidence supports the result and when another step is smarter.
Angle and crop
Tilted shots and missing borders make the card harder to read. The safer first shot is flat, centered, and complete.
Sleeves and reflections
Sleeves can introduce shine, blur, and edge reflections. They are fine when necessary, but bare cards often scan more cleanly.
Lookalike cards
Some cards share art, layout, or set styling. That is where confidence and candidate review matter most.
High confidence
The leading candidate lines up well with the visible clues. The result is usable, but condition and finish still matter.
Middle confidence
The app sees a strong direction, but another photo or a candidate review may still change the final choice.
Low confidence
The safest next step is to rescan, add the back, or move to a slower manual check before making any serious decision.
FAQ
Accuracy questions that matter before you rely on the result
The app works best when confidence is read as a signal, not as marketing language.
Question
What does a high-confidence result mean?
It means the visible evidence lines up well with the leading candidate. It does not mean you should ignore finish, condition, or authenticity questions.
Question
What happens when PullScope is not confident enough?
The app can ask for more input, including a back photo or a candidate review, instead of pretending the first answer is final.
Question
Why can sleeve glare matter so much?
Because foil, numbering, and surface clues can disappear under reflection. The app can only work with what the photo preserves.
Question
Is pricing tied to accuracy?
Yes. Price direction is only useful when the card identity is grounded. That is why match confidence matters before the number does.
