How We Calculate Grading Profit

Expected value (EV) is the probability-weighted payout of grading a card: the odds of each PSA grade (from real population data) times that grade's market price, minus the raw cost and the grading fee. When EV beats the raw price plus fees, the card is worth grading. Every figure here comes from live PriceCharting prices and GemRate population data, refreshed weekly. See the full methodology.
