The fee table
What grading actually costs.
Every verdict uses these numbers. They live in one config file, and we put the date we last checked them right here. Graders change prices often; if you spot a stale one, tell us.

What the fee table doesn't include
- Shipping and insurance, both directions. Our default adds a per-card amount you can change on every verdict. On small submissions it's often the second-biggest cost.
- Upcharges. If a grader decides your card is worth more than the tier's declared-value cap, they bump it to a pricier tier. We pick the tier from the card's likely graded value, not its raw price, to avoid surprises.
- Selling costs. Marketplace and payment fees come out of the graded sale. We default to 13% and you can change it.
- Membership fees and minimums. Some tiers require a paid membership or a minimum card count. Where that applies, it's noted in the table.
