MTG & Pokemon Grading ROI Calculator

Calculate if it's worth grading your Magic: The Gathering or Pokemon cards. Compare grading costs against expected returns.

Tip: Search using the exact card name (e.g., "Lightning Bolt", "The One Ring"). For Universes Beyond cards, use the full name with proper capitalization (e.g., "Spider-Man" not "spiderman").

Data Source: Card prices from Scryfall API (updated in real-time).

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on current market data. Actual grading costs may vary, and graded card prices depend on market conditions, card condition, and buyer demand. Always research recent sales before making grading decisions.
