Disclaimer: This is not buying or investment advice. I’m simply reporting the data I’m seeing. Please do your own research and make your own decisions. Just because cards have increased in value up to this point, it doesn’t mean they will continue to do so.

To help you find the best service, I’ve created this PSA grading cost calculator.

• Enter the number of cards you’d like to grade with PSA
• Select your desired PSA service level
• Input your estimated card value/declared value (the max insured value, or how much the card will be worth after grading)

The PSA grading costs will display automatically! Please let me know if you see any errors or have suggestions.

Please note: Due to the regularly changing details and price updates from each of the card grading services, some of the information below may be out of date from time to time. Thus, if you’re considering grading your cards and weighing the costs, please check with PSA.

Now, if you’ve never graded a card before, the process can seem daunting and overwhelming, right? I mean, you’re basically sending off what is presumably a valuable card – either monetarily or in terms of worth to your personal collection, or both – to someone else for handling.

If that wasn’t enough, there are certain “rules” and guidelines to follow when doing so—pack the card this way, put this barcode here, write this on the outside of the box. Declare the value by guessing, oh, and we actually aren’t going to charge you until we send the card back.

And we haven’t even gotten into the wait times and lack of transparency, especially these days.

All of that said, grading cards can still be an enjoyable experience. Should you get your cards graded? The full answer requires another day and time, but cost is a big piece of that equation.
