Is My Sealed Game
Worth Grading?

How We Calculate Your Answer
Four key factors determine if grading makes financial sense for your sealed game.
Predicted Grade Range
AI analyzes your 5 photos and predicts grade range (e.g., 8.8-9.2). This determines your game's potential value after grading.
Current Market Values
We pull real market data for your game at different grade levels. See what collectors are actually paying, not asking prices.
Total Grading Costs
Factor in submission fees ($100-300), shipping both ways, insurance, and time. The real cost is always higher than the sticker price.
ROI Calculation
Expected value increase vs. total cost investment. If grading adds $50 but costs $150, that's a clear 'No.' We do the math for you.
Real Decision Examples

Recommended to Submit
Sealed Chrono Trigger (SNES)
High predicted grade with significant value increase that justifies costs.
Not Recommended
Sealed Mario Kart 64
Grade prediction too low. Value increase doesn't cover grading costs.

Get a Clear Yes/No Answer
No ambiguity. Our AI analyzes your game and tells you straight: 'Recommended to Submit' or 'Not Recommended.' Based on predicted grade range, current grading costs, and real market values for sealed games at that grade level.
See Your Actual ROI Before Submitting
We calculate the expected value increase from grading vs. the total cost (fees + shipping + time). If a game won't gain enough value to justify the $150-250 investment, we tell you. Your game might be worth $400, but grading might only add $50 of value. That's a pass.
Make Decisions Based on Data, Not Hope
Stop betting on unknown grades. Every decision is backed by our AI's analysis of thousands of graded games, current market pricing, and the financial math of what makes grading worthwhile. Confidence in every choice.
