How Much Does it Cost to Grade a Sports Card?

I grade to authenticate the card and authograph

The "declared value" making a change to the cost of grading is ridiculous, IMO. I think this is done in comics as well. It should take no more effort on the part of the grading service to grade a Michael Jordan rookie card or a generic Joe Blow card. Also, with the cost to have a card graded and slabbed, it is not worth it for most cards.

Grading is a complete farce in my book.

I see both sides, but it’s clear that people see value in it

Grading is a joke it's just control over the market
