Card grading cost calculator
Compare the listed grading fees for your batch, then add your real shipping quotes. Free, with no account needed.
Use the same declared value for every card in this comparison. For mixed values, compare separate groups. Shipping is for the whole order; blank means $0.
Enter a whole card count and a nonnegative declared value. Costs must be finite, nonnegative amounts (up to $1 trillion); count is limited to 1 billion.

How it works and what it assumes
Multiply the published per-card fee by your card count, add outbound and return shipping once, then divide by the count for the all-in per-card cost. Amounts round to cents. The cheapest result considers only available tiers that meet the listed value and quantity rules.
Taxes, supplies, memberships, add-ons and value-related fee changes are excluded. No shipping price is assumed. Compare one company at a time with its actual return quote. These selected tiers are not the full service menus.

Common questions
Are these live grading prices?
No. These are selected official US service prices read on October 22, 2026. Prices, availability and turnaround estimates can change. Confirm the company's own page and checkout before submitting.
Why are some tiers not eligible?
A listed value cap, minimum batch size or maximum batch size may exclude your inputs. Sold-out services remain visible but cannot win the cheapest comparison. Eligibility only covers the conditions recorded here.
Does cheapest mean the best grading company?
No. Holder preferences, card acceptance, label designations, turnaround and actual resale evidence matter too. This calculator compares costs, not grading quality or resale premiums.
Does the total include shipping and every charge?
It includes only grading and the shipping amounts you enter. Blank shipping is zero. Add any taxes, supplies, memberships and optional services separately.
