Is it worth grading?

How it works
Worst case = graded price at the lower expected grade − fee − shipping − the high end of raw. Best case = graded price at the higher expected grade − fee − shipping − the low end of raw. If even the worst case is positive, grading may pay. If even the best case is negative, it probably won't.
Use sold prices, never asking prices. A grade is never certain until the grading company assigns it. We don't list fees here because they change; use each company's own page:
