We wrap the mini-series with grading—the alchemy of the hobby when used correctly. I share the actual ledger: 1,127+ cards graded, $20K+ in fees/shipping, PSA (525 cards; ~$11.7K) and SGC (602 cards; ~$9.5K), and why I’d only re-submit ~21% (PSA) and ~17% (SGC) today. You’ll get a pre-grading checklist, a tier/upcharge strategy that protects cash flow, and post-mortems on failed CGC→PSA and BGS→PSA arbitrage.

You’ll learn

• When a card shouldn’t be graded 
• PSA vs SGC vs BGS vs CGC—where each fits now
• How to choose service tiers 
• Why speed can trump top-end value for flip cycles (compounding ROI)
• A practical pre-grading system 
• Why most crossovers disappoint
• The mindset shift: buy raw as if it stays raw; grading is bonus leverage, not a plan
