How to read the totals
Each grader picks the tier from the value you declare, and can move a card up a tier and charge the difference. The calculator lists every open tier that accepts your value and shows the lowest total first. Turnaround figures are the graders' own estimates in their own units (PSA business days, CGC working days, SGC days) and none of them is guaranteed.
This page compares fees only. It does not say whether a card is worth grading or what a grade would add to its price.
