Graded vs raw

How much a grade adds to a card: the biggest raw-to-PSA-10 and PSA-9-to-10 spreads, which cards pay to grade at their real gem rate, the scarcest PSA 10s and where new slabs are flooding in.

Market data, not financial advice. Grading fees, turnaround and outcomes vary.

Graded prices: recent eBay sales. Population: PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC reports. Raw: TCGplayer market (near mint). Updated daily as of November 1, 2026.
