Is It Worth Grading Sports Cards & TCG? PSA vs CGC vs Beckett Explained

Published 2 hours ago
Description

Thinking about grading cards? Start here.

After 1,500+ submissions across PSA, Beckett, SGC, and CGC, I break down what each grader actually costs, how long it really takes, where each one wins, where each one fails, and the part almost nobody covers: how each grader turns subgrades into the number on your label.

Inside:
 → Prepping and shipping submissions the right way
 → PSA, Beckett, CGC: pricing, real turnaround, pros, cons, secret sauce
 → Why speed = capital = compounding
 → Beckett's subgrade math, decoded
 → Which grader to use when you're holding vs. flipping

Pricing and turnaround times current as of October 4, 2026. Not sponsored by anyone.
