Card Grading Break-Even Calculator

A higher slab price does not automatically leave you with more money. Compare what you keep from a raw sale with what you keep after grading and selling.

Replace the example numbers with your own. Calculations run in your browser; input values are not sent to analytics.

How to use the result

Raw net = raw sale price × (1 − selling fee rate) − raw selling costs. Graded net = graded sale price × (1 − selling fee rate) − graded selling costs − grading and submission costs. Break-even graded price = (raw net + grading and submission costs + graded selling costs) ÷ (1 − selling fee rate).

  • Enter your actual all-in percentage fee, including any tax-based fee effects, and put fixed charges in selling costs. Use grading and insured submission costs per card; enter current quotes rather than assuming the example is a published price.
  • Run the calculator separately for each plausible grade. It does not predict a grade or assign grade probabilities. Use recent sold comparisons for the exact card, parallel, language and condition.
  • Both scenarios assume you already own the same card, so its original purchase cost cancels in this comparison. The result is incremental proceeds, not total investment profit. It excludes income tax, market movement and the time your card is unavailable.
