Back to EpisodesIs It Worth Grading Sports Cards & TCG? PSA vs CGC vs Beckett Explained
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.
