Tokenizing

Re: putting it on chain.

Graded cards can be vaulted and traded on Solana as a token backed 1:1 by the physical slab. It is genuinely useful for the right card. Most cards are not the right card.

Start with the card.

We price it, add up what grading, postage and handling actually cost, and tell you what it would have to come back worth to be worth doing.

Why we mostly say don’t

Three costs, and only one of them is obvious.

Grading

About $80 a card, and it is spent whether the grade comes back good or not. This is the one everybody already knows about.

The card itself

Grading a card means you are no longer selling it raw. Its current value is part of what the exercise costs you — a point almost nobody includes, because it makes the sum look worse.

The floor

The cheapest card actually listed on Solana’s largest tokenized card market was $13.58, with nothing at all under $5. Below that there is no market to sell into.

Put together, a $20 card has to come back worth about $143 to break even. A 30-cent common would need $123 — four hundred times its value. Those are not close calls, and no service that charges to grade cards has any reason to tell you so.

What we charge

$25.00 handles up to 10 cards.

Then $7.50 for each card after the 10th — charged only on the extra cards, never back across the whole batch. That covers the submission paperwork, packing, tracking and keeping you posted.

It does not cover the fees. Grading is paid to the grading company, vault and marketplace fees to whoever holds and lists the card, and postage is quoted at cost before anything is sent. We would rather show you four honest numbers than one padded one.

Ask us to handle it

Tell us roughly what you have. We will come back with real numbers for your cards, and say plainly if it is not worth doing.

Handling for 1 card$25.00

$25.00 covers up to 10 cards, then $7.50 for each card after the 10th. Postage is quoted at cost, and grading and vault fees are paid to those companies rather than to us.

No address needed yet, and nothing is charged.

We do not hold cards long term and we are not a vault. Think of us as the part that tells you whether to start, and helps you not get it wrong if you do.

Nothing on this page is investment advice, and no outcome is promised. Grading results are decided by independent third-party companies and neither we nor anyone else can predict them. Costs quoted are current estimates and move.
