We wrap the mini-series with grading—the alchemy of the hobby when used correctly. I share the actual ledger: 1,127+ cards graded, $20K+ in fees/shipping, PSA (525 cards; ~$11.7K) and SGC (602 cards; ~$9.5K), and why I’d only re-submit ~21% (PSA) and ~17% (SGC) today. You’ll get a pre-grading checklist, a tier/upcharge strategy that protects cash flow, and post-mortems on failed CGC→PSA and BGS→PSA arbitrage.
You’ll learn
- When a card shouldn’t be graded
- PSA vs SGC vs BGS vs CGC—where each fits now
- How to choose service tiers
- Why speed can trump top-end value for flip cycles (compounding ROI)
- A practical pre-grading system
- Why most crossovers disappoint
- The mindset shift: buy raw as if it stays raw; grading is bonus leverage, not a plan
