But here’s the problem: Most grading companies cater to flippers, not collectors. They charge sky-high fees, force you into memberships, and even upcharge you if your card is too “valuable.”
At MPE Grading, we believe grading should be about protecting your collection, not emptying your wallet.
1. The Problem: Grading Costs Are Designed for Flippers
Most big-name grading services price their tiers based on card value. That means if your card is valuable, you pay more—even if you just want to keep it in your personal collection (PC).
| Purpose | What You Pay with PSA | What You Pay with MPE |
|---|---|---|
| Grading a $10 card for your PC | $25 | $5 |
| Grading a $500 card to keep forever | $75+ (due to upcharges) | $5 |
| Grading a $2,500+ card | $150+ | $5 |
😡The Catch: If PSA thinks your card is too valuable, they’ll charge you more—even if you never plan to sell it.
✅ MPE Grading charges just $5 per card—no upcharges, no penalties for valuable cards.
2. Protect Your Collection Without Breaking the Bank
For true collectors, grading isn’t about flipping—it’s about preserving.
✅ Protection: Our durable, crystal-clear slabs keep your cards safe from scratches, fading, and damage.
✅Affordability: At just $5 per card, you don’t have to choose between grading one card or grading your whole collection.
✅ No Resale-Driven Pricing: Your card’s sentimental value matters more than its market value.
Other grading companies expect you to treat every card like an investment. We know some cards are priceless to you, even if they aren’t to the market.
