What the verdict counts
- The grading feeThe cheapest open tier that covers the card’s value. Paused tiers are skipped.
- Return shippingOnly when that company publishes a US price. Insurance on the way back is included in that figure when their chart says so.
- The price gapGraded sale minus raw sale, times how many cards. If the gap is smaller than the bill, it is not worth it.
Not counted: the postage you pay to mail cards in, eBay or TCGplayer selling fees, membership discounts, or your time. A grade you did not type in is not guessed.
