Grading FAQs
Does this calculator guarantee profit?
No. It’s an estimate. Grading results, market prices and selling fees all vary, so be conservative with expected grades and prices.
What grade should I assume?
Most collectors should assume PSA 8 or PSA 9 unless the card is pack-fresh and carefully handled. PSA 10s are much rarer than many expect.
Does this include return shipping and insurance?
Yes. Put grading fees, postage to the grader, insurance and return postage in the “Grading cost” field.
Is grading always worth it for Pokémon cards?
Not always. Lower-value cards and borderline grades often do better sold raw. Grading usually makes most sense for rare, high-demand cards.
Can I share my results?
Yes. “Copy share link” copies a URL with your numbers saved in it.
