Best value: raw cards worth grading
Raw listings where our estimated grade, measured against what that card sells for at that grade, suggests the card is worth more slabbed than it costs raw.
Method: estimated profit = value at the estimated grade minus the raw asking price minus grading cost (assumes $30 per card - a typical bulk-submission fee plus a share of shipping; current PSA prices run higher, so treat this as a rule of thumb and check the tier you would actually use). Value comes from a confirmed sale of that card at that grade where we have one, and from the median of live asking prices less 20% where we do not, since cards rarely sell at asking - each row says which. Estimated grades are our opinion from a single photo, not a guarantee; grading is a gamble and this page is a shortlist, not advice.
