TroCuri · Troves of Curiosities
Our own AI, built in-house at Thrift By Mail.
TroCuri is something we built ourselves - an AI designed and trained in-house by the Thrift By Mail team, not an off-the-shelf app. It identifies, grades, and prices most of our finds before they are listed. It studies clear photos, pins down exactly what an item is, grades the condition against the right scale, scans live sold data for honest pricing, and composes the listing - then a person reviews it. Comics, trading cards, coins, and apparel.
★ TroCuri Certified · Graded & priced by AI
Every item TroCuri lists carries a TroCuri Certified badge - and it is not a gut call. The grade comes from a vision model working against the same published standards the pros use: PSA's official definitions for cards (calibrated on 14 real PSA-graded reference cards), the CGC 10-point scale for comics, and NGC's Sheldon standards for coins. The price is built from actual recent sold listings for that exact item, with lots, bundles, and off-grade comps filtered out. And TroCuri shows its work - listings include the factor-by-factor breakdown behind the grade (for example centering 9.5/10, corners 9/10, edges 9/10) and the real sales the price is based on.
★ TroCuri Certified · Graded & priced by AI
No bad days, no guesswork, no inflated prices. TroCuri scans troves of real, recent sales to set the fairest price on every find - an unbiased second opinion that means you know exactly what you are getting and what it is worth.
Our grades are careful in-house estimates that help us price fairly and set clear expectations. They are not a replacement for professional grading such as CGC, PSA, or PCGS. When an item has been professionally graded, the listing says so.
