Is it worth grading my card? Calculator

Find your card, pick the PSA grade you think it would get and enter what grading would cost you. The calculator does the math with real prices for each grade and tells you whether it pays off or you're better off selling it raw. Free, no sign-up.

How the math works

Nobody guarantees a 10, so it doesn't compare the raw price with a PSA 10. It spreads the odds: 60% for the most likely grade, 20% for the one above and 20% for the one below. That's the expected sale. It subtracts what the card is already worth raw and what grading costs. If the grade below has no price, it counts the raw sale instead (the cautious option).

• Yes, it pays off: you make at least €10 and 20% over the raw value.
• Borderline: you make something, but little for the risk and the wait.
• Risky: on average you lose, but if the higher grade comes in you'd make 100 or more.
• Not worth it: sell it as is.

The unknown: what grade your card would get

The calculator needs you to pick the grade. If you're not sure, check centering, corners, edges and surface with what PSA grade your card would get, or let CardFolio's AI analysis estimate it from a photo: it measures front and back centering against PSA's tolerances and does this same math with its grade (the app is in Spanish for now).
