Should I Grade My Sports Card?
Compare selling raw with the expected financial outcome of grading. You provide the values and grade probabilities; ChaseLedger does not perform free automated market research here.
Enter your scenario
Grade probabilities total 100%. They should total 100% for a meaningful comparison.
Quick answer: when does grading make financial sense?
Grading has positive expected value when the probability-weighted net proceeds from graded outcomes exceed the net proceeds from selling raw after grading fees, shipping, insurance, selling fees, and other costs. The key is probability-weighted value—not simply comparing a raw card with the price of a PSA 10.
Use realistic probabilities
A PSA 10 price means little if the card has a low chance of receiving a 10.
Include every grading cost
Submission fees, shipping, insurance, and selling costs all reduce grading upside.
Keep automation paid
The free tool uses your manual values. ChaseLedger connects the decision to the actual card and its evidence.
