Understanding Card Submission Charges in Pokémon TCG Unverified

How Submission Charges Work

When submitting Pokémon TCG cards for grading, the fees are typically based on the declared value of the card. This value is not necessarily the raw market price of the card but rather the estimated value if it were graded at a high score, such as a 10.

Selecting the Right Option

When choosing your submission option, consider the following:

1. **Raw Card Value**: This is the current market price of the card in its ungraded state. If you believe the card has potential for a high grade, you might want to declare a value higher than the raw price.

2. **Graded Value**: This is the value you expect the card to have if it receives a high grade, typically a 10. If you think the card is in excellent condition and likely to receive a high grade, you should declare this higher value when submitting.

Conclusion

In summary, when submitting a card, you should declare its value based on what you believe it could be worth if graded at a high score, rather than just its current raw market value. This helps ensure you are charged appropriately for the grading service.
