How the estimate works
- Grading fees = price per card × number of cards.
- Shipping and other = what you enter for shipping in, return shipping and insurance, and membership or other fees. The defaults are zero because these depend on your location, carrier and declared value; graders show return shipping on the order form.
- If the declared value per card is above the level's cap, the calculator flags it and suggests the cheapest level at that grader that covers it. It does not estimate upcharges.
- If a level has a minimum number of cards, the calculator flags orders below it.
- PSA's Premium+ level is priced "from $999"; the calculator uses $999.
Prices change often; PSA alone changed its card prices three times in 2026. For the background, read how much PSA grading costs and card grading companies compared.
