Prices shown are per standard card in CAD, before tax and shipping. Turnarounds are the business-day periods currently listed by NGA, not door-to-door delivery promises. Confirm timing and applicable submission terms with NGA before sending your cards.

A little planning. A lot less guesswork.

WHAT’S YOUR
GRADING BUDGET?

Start with the service fee. Shipping and tax are separate, so there are no pretend “all-in” totals here.

Estimate the grading fee

10 cards × $15 CAD

Tax and shipping not included. This is an estimate, not a quote or order. For mixed card types, estimate each group separately. Quantities here are a calculator input, not a published order limit.

THE SIMPLE ANSWERS.

What’s the difference between the three plans?

The live submission form differentiates Starter, Pro and Premium by their price and listed grading turnaround: 10, 5 and 2 business days respectively. Pick the pace that fits your submission.

Does NGA+ include free physical grading?

No. NGA+ is the planned free collector membership. Card grading has its own per-card service fee.

What if my card is thicker than normal?

NGA currently lists thick-stock cards up to 180 pt at an extra $5 CAD per card. That makes the listed service fees $20 Starter, $30 Pro and $40 Premium per thick-stock card. Confirm that your item is accepted before submitting.

Are shipping and tax included?

No. The live submission form shows grading subtotal, shipping and tax separately. Review the final payable amount in the current NGA submission process.

Can I submit from this development website?

The submission buttons take you to NGA’s existing submission form. This preview does not collect payments or create an order, and choosing a plan here does not preselect it there.

What should I check before sending a valuable card?

Confirm accepted items, any declared-value restrictions, insurance arrangements, turnaround timing and packing requirements directly with NGA. A grade does not guarantee a resale value.
