Re: the card in your hand.
Not what someone is asking for it — what one actually sold for. Free, no account, and no floor underneath it, because most tools quietly stop caring somewhere around a dollar.
No sign-up. Nothing to connect. It works on the next click.
Why this exists
Did the plastic pay for itself?
Grading, per card, when most slabs were made
$25.00
Grading, per card, today
$80.00
A slab is worth what a raw copy is worth plus whatever the grade adds. A $30 card slabbed at $25 had to come back at $55 to break even; at today’s fee it would need $110. The card did not change. The waterline rose.
Sold, not asking
An asking price is what somebody hopes to get. A sold price is what somebody paid. Every free tool at this end of the market shows the first one, because live listings are cheap to collect; the second has to be paid for by the lookup, which is where this project’s costs actually go.
How it works
Four things, no catch.
Ask what it sold for
Not what someone is asking — what a copy actually changed hands for, graded copies included. Free, no account, and no floor underneath it, because most tools quietly stop caring somewhere around a dollar and that is precisely where the questions start.
See whether the plastic paid
A slab is worth what a raw copy is worth plus whatever the grade adds. Grading cost about $25 when most slabs were made and about $80 now. Type in a cert and the site says which side of that line the slab is on — at the fee you paid, and at today's.
Put it on chain, or don't
Graded cards can be vaulted and traded as tokens on Polygon or Solana. We will handle the whole trip for you, in either direction, and quote it per submission — including the parts nobody publishes, which we are still measuring on our own cards.
Watch the two chains disagree
The same slab is vaulted on two chains whose markets cannot see each other. One side is what somebody paid; the other is what somebody is asking. The spread page lines them up and says why the gap is not free money.
Two questions
Same arithmetic, either way round.
Holding a raw card
Should I grade it?
We price it, add what grading, postage and handling actually cost at today’s fee, and say what it would have to come back worth. Usually the answer is don’t — which is what makes a yes worth anything.
Holding a slab
Did grading pay?
Type the cert off the label. What that exact slab has done, what other copies at that grade sell for, what a raw copy sells for, and which side of the fee the difference lands — at what you paid, and at today’s.
Go and look one up.
Any card in any of the three games, no floor, no account. If it books under $80 it costs more to grade than it is worth raw, which is exactly the population this site is about.
