Grading Hunt
Finding the most worth-it Pokemon cards to send to grading
In 2024 I was getting back into Pokemon cards since the XY era and ended up buying, selling and grading a lot of cards. I built a small tool, just for myself, which allowed me to fetch the raw price, grade 10 price, do calculations on those two data points and spew out a percentage - Return on Grading. I found this to save me so much time when seeing if one of the cards in my collection was worth me sending to grading.
As you may know, Pokemon card grading comes with fees including shipping so I need to factor in those to not end up burning money. This tool is the 2nd pair of eyes and the 2nd decision maker when I decide which cards in my collection I should send to grading. Eventually I released this product to the internet and got good feedback of appreciation, and I am continuing to build on it today. Recently I have revamped the UI for a better look.
Though as a free product, the profit margins haven't been great and I'm mainly keeping it running because I know there are a few regular users who like it. I'm open to questions and more talk, from anyone. Thanks for reading!
About
In 2024 I created a data aggregation tool which allowed me to get the raw price, and grade 10 price of my Pokemon cards and instantly see the "Return on Grading". This tool became so loved that I published it for free.
