Saved $200

Saved me $200 on grading fees. Before The Grade told me my Base Set Blastoise was likely a PSA 7, not worth the $50 grading cost. It came back exactly as predicted.

+40% PSA 10 rate

I submit 50+ cards a month to PSA. This tool has increased my hit rate on PSA 10s by identifying which cards are actually gem mint candidates. Game changer for my business.

$750 profit

The ROI calculator alone is worth it. Found a raw Charizard at a flea market, ran it through - predicted PSA 9 with $800 profit potential. Bought it for $200, got a 9, sold for $950.

94% accurate

The centering checker is incredibly accurate. It identified off-center issues I couldn't see with my naked eye. My submission accuracy has improved dramatically.
