Grading fees compared: what UK submitters pay per card

We compare published fees, shipping and import costs for UK collectors and dealers.

The figures below are illustrative and based on a small sample. We will refine the methodology as more retailers and organisers share data with us.

What we’re hearing

Our model assumes a typical independent with a mix of singles, sealed and accessories, and average costs for staff, rent and platform fees.

Clear rules are fine. Rules that change overnight are the problem.

For UK submitters, shipping, insurance and import charges can add significantly to the headline fee per card.

What it means for the trade

We have contacted the companies involved for comment and will update this story when we hear back.
