Profit per card = graded value minus raw price minus grading cost. ROI = profit / (raw + grading cost). Not every card grades a 10, so use the value for the grade you realistically expect, and add shipping to the grading cost for a true number.

Catch the raw card at retail first

Grading only pays if you buy the raw card cheap. Install QuickCatch free and it carts the card the moment it restocks at retail. Or get a free email heads-up.

FAQ

Is grading my Pokémon card worth it?
It depends on the gap between the raw price and the graded value minus grading and shipping cost. Enter your numbers and this shows the profit and ROI per card.
What does grading cost?
PSA and CGC tiers vary by value and turnaround, often around $19 to $25 per card at the cheaper tiers, plus shipping. Edit the cost field to your real tier.
What is the catch?
Not every card grades a 10. The calculator assumes the graded value you enter, so use the value for the grade you realistically expect, not the best case.
