Paying $ For Expert On Graded Cards
 

I am in need of an expert on graded cards. We need someone who can compile 100 clear card images of each "flip" or label from the following grading companies: PSA, SGC, BGS, and BVG. The images will not be used publicly and we do not care what the source of the card images are, just that the images are clear scans and well cropped. We would consider the examples on the PSA site as good: https://www.psacard.com/resources/gradingstandards
We would consider something like this bad:

It is very important that we have 100 of each of the different flips/labels/versions that exist for each of the grading companies. You must be an expert in identifying these. You will need to save each group of 100 in its own properly named folder. As an example, there are 10 different flips for PSA, so you would have 10 folders with 100 cards in each, for a total of 1000 PSA cards. The same would need to be done with all versions of SGC, BGS, and BVG. We will provide a dropbox for you to save them into once you are done compiling all of them.

We are open to payment method, can do paypal or something different, whatever you prefer. Will only pay on delivery of the images.

Please let me if you have any questions. PM me your "bid" and timeline to complete the project. If this post is still up, we are still searching for someone to complete the project.

I assume you're planning to use these for a machine learning problem. If so, you may have already thought of all of this, but it might be worth pointing out that ensuring you get flips with non-standard descriptions and grades make it into your data sample (e.g., look for flips with 4 rows of text, not just 2, altered slabs, and cards from all grades) might make the model more robust. It also might perform better against your out-of-sample data (cards that people later upload) if your testing data set includes images from different sources with differing degrees of contrast and image resolutions. You may also want to think about using both photos and scans as opposed to just scans if you anticipate users uploading both at some point. I think BGS flips could prove to be the most challenging because of how they reflect light.
