Grading conversations shift quickly: turnaround times stretch, prices change, a grader has a bad month. This page tracks what collectors are discussing about grading this week, grader by grader.
It depends on the card's condition and value. A PSA 10 can sell for several times the raw price, but grading costs money and takes time, and most cards don't come back a 10. Card pages show raw and graded sales side by side.
PSA slabs usually sell for the most, while CGC and BGS are popular for their subgrades and turnaround. The grader table here shows which companies collectors are talking about right now.
