PSA is the market leader, with CGC, Beckett (BGS) and SGC the main alternatives, and each sets its own tiers, turnaround times and fees. Bulk submission windows, price rises and service pauses ripple straight through to what a graded card is worth, because a fresh gem-mint slab can sell for a multiple of the same card raw. For Australian collectors the sums are sharper still: international postage, insurance and the exchange rate all stack on top of the grading fee, so timing a submission matters. This page tracks grading-service news, from turnaround and pricing changes to new label and slab types and the population-report shifts that quietly reprice a card. Use CardLoft to identify any card and check its raw value before you decide whether grading is worth the cost and the wait.
