How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the raw (ungraded) market value and PSA grade (1–10).
  2. Set population at grade, total population graded, player status, and years held.
  3. Review Estimated Graded Value, Grade & Population Multiplier, Total ROI, and Annualized Return.

How the result changes with PSA grade (1-10)

What each input means

Raw (ungraded) value ($)

What each result means

Estimated graded value ($)
Estimated market value for a graded copy at this PSA grade.
Grade & pop multiplier
Combined grade and population scarcity multiplier applied to raw value.
Total ROI (%)

Annualized return (%)
Compound annual growth rate over the holding period.
Net after grading cost ($)
Graded value minus estimated PSA grading fee.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Raw (ungraded) value ($) = 50, PSA grade (1-10) = 8, Population at grade = 500, Total population graded = 5000 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Estimated graded value
    Estimated graded value = rawValue * baseGradeMultiplier * popAdjustment * statusMultiplier
    78 = $78
  3. Calculate Grade & pop multiplier
    1.2 = 1.2
  4. Calculate Total ROI
    56 = 56%
