What a Slabscope grade looks like

Grade your own

The routing decision is worth real money

On this card, sending to PSA instead of AGS is a +$190 swing — one route makes money, the other loses $22 after fees and shipping. Pre-graders that stop at "what's your card worth?" can't tell you this. Slabscope does, on every grade.
