How the authenticity checker works
GrailNest reads your photos and compares them to what a genuine version of the exact Pop should look like: the barcode, the Pop number and name, the franchise, the expected sticker, and the box art. Every result is broken down into the evidence behind it.
What photos to upload (and why)
- Required Front of the box — art, name, and Pop number.
- Required Barcode / bottom of the box — straight on.
- Optional Side panel — name and series.
- Optional Sticker close-up — exclusives/conventions.
- Optional Bottom stamp / production code.
What GrailNest checks
Barcode match, box number & name (OCR), franchise/line text, visual box-art similarity, expected sticker rules, bottom-stamp presence, and photo quality.

How to read your fake-risk score
This tool is best at catching wrong items, listing mismatches, and obvious fakes. It is a risk estimate, not a guarantee: it cannot certify a high-quality counterfeit. For high-value purchases, use it as one signal alongside expert verification.
