About the work

A closer look.

Send me photos of one Pokemon card and what you'd pay to grade it. You get back a one-page report: - Real sold prices for raw, grade-9 and grade-10 copies (sold comps, not asking prices) - Every real cost: grading fee, shipping both ways, and selling fees - The break-even: how often a 10 has to hit for grading to pay - The downside if it comes back a 9, in money - My honest call: grade it, or don't. What I need from you: front and back photos, four corners close-up, the holo in angled light, what you paid, and the submission tier you're considering. Blurry corners get a 'cannot judge' instead of a guess. This is a second opinion on the economics, not a guaranteed grade. If the numbers say don't spend the money, I tell you that.
