Grading route comparer
Compare sourced grading fees, membership rules and stated turnaround times.
Grading prices and turnaround times change often. Use the individual source dates shown with the service figures; check the current price before you submit.
This isn't financial advice. A grade doesn't guarantee a resale price, and grading fees and postage can cost more than a card is worth.

How the cost is calculated
Base grading total = number of cards × published fee per card. Postage, insurance, optional labels, membership, handling and any applicable additional charges are separate. Published turnaround times are estimates, not delivery promises.
Worked example
For a published fee of £18 per card, three cards cost £54 before extras. This arithmetic example does not assert eligibility for a service tier. Compare declared values in the currency of each provider; no exchange rate is assumed.
