GRADE COMMAND
Know what a slab is worth
before you send it
GRADE COMMAND tracks every card from submission to sale, learns your real gem rate, and tells you whether grading the next one actually pays.
Import the PDF, skip the typing
Drop in a PSA submission form and every line item lands on your board — card names, service level, quantities. Order results CSVs fill in the grades later.
Grade EV, not gut feel
Solves for the P(10) you'd need to break even, and the PSA 10 price that would justify the fee. Uses your own history once you have it, a real reference sample until then — and always tells you which.
Your actual gem rate
Broken down by game, era and service tier. Most collectors quote one number for everything; the difference between your best and worst category is usually the whole margin.
Compare with other collectors
Opt in and see where your rate sits against everyone else's, per category. Anonymised, aggregate only, and off by default.
Fees and profit, honestly
Grading fees, shipping, venue cuts and cost basis in one ledger — including a blunt count of how many sales are still missing a purchase price.
Follows you between devices

Settings
Off by default. When on, your grading record joins the community pool so you can see how your gem rates compare and appear on the leaderboard. Only counts and rates are shared — never certs, card names, prices, sale figures or your email. A category is only ever reported once at least 3 people have shared 20+ cards in it, so no single collection can be picked out. Switch it off and your rows stop counting immediately.
Switching a game off removes its cards from gem rate, order progress and every total.
Only PSA is supported today. The others are placeholders for when their exports are wired up.
Orders you removed from the board. Restoring one puts its cards back into every total.

How to read this tool
The verdict is the least useful number here. Expected value swings harder on P(10) than on every other input combined, and P(10) is a guess — so a confident-looking verdict just inherits your guess. This tool inverts that: it solves for the point where grading breaks even, and lets you check that point against your own history.
The three numbers that actually decide it
| P(10) needed to break even | The gem rate at which grading and selling raw come out identical. If your measured rate clears it, grade. If it doesn't, don't — regardless of what the verdict says. |
| PSA 10 price to break even | How much the graded card must fetch to justify the fee and the wait. Compare it to real sold listings, not asking prices. |
| Carry rate that flips it | The cost of capital at which the answer reverses. If this is far above any rate you'd realistically pay, carry isn't your problem and you can stop thinking about it. |
Why carry cost only hits the grading side
Selling raw frees your money today. Grading locks it up for months. A model that ignores that asymmetry will happily tell you to grade cards you should have flipped. The turnaround table shows the verdict at every realistic wait — if the answer is the same at 40 days and 300, the wait doesn't matter for this card.
Fees assume eBay at 13.25% or PSA Partner Offer at 0%. Shipping is $1.50 each way. Your own history says a PSA 10 has returned about 3.9× a PSA 9 — if the prices you enter imply far less than that, double-check them.
