Last updated: April 2026 · Grade Edge LLC

Plain English summary: Grade Edge is a data tool, not a financial advisor. Everything shown is an estimate based on recent eBay listings. A high margin or gem rate does not guarantee a PSA 10. Do your own research before buying any card. You are responsible for your own purchasing decisions.

1. What Grade Edge Is

Grade Edge LLC operates Margin Scope, a sports card analytics tool that provides estimated price data, margin calculations, and grading opportunity insights based on publicly available eBay listing data.

We are a data and analytics tool. We are not a financial advisor, investment advisor, or broker. Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any specific card or asset.

2. All Prices Are Estimates

The prices shown on Grade Edge are estimates derived from recent eBay listings. They are not guaranteed sale prices, appraisals, or market valuations.

Always verify current prices on eBay, PWCC, or other marketplaces before making any purchasing decision.

3. High Gem Rates & Margins Are Not Guarantees

Important: A card having a high gem rate or a large estimated margin does NOT mean it will grade PSA 10. Every card is graded individually based on its specific condition. Centering, surface scratches, edge wear, corners, and print defects all affect the grade — and none of these can be predicted from price data alone.

PSA population reports and gem rate percentages are historical statistics based on cards already submitted. Your specific card may grade differently. Cards that show high gem rates in our tool have historically graded well across the population — not necessarily the individual card you are considering.

You should personally inspect every card before submitting for grading. Grade Edge accepts no responsibility for cards that do not achieve a PSA 10 or any specific grade.

4. Grading Costs & Real Profit

Margins shown in Grade Edge are pre-grading estimates. Your actual profit will depend on:

Use the PSA grading cost toggle in Margin Scope to model your net profit after grading fees. Always run your own numbers before purchasing.

5. Do Your Own Research

Grade Edge is a starting point for research, not a final answer. Before buying any card for grading purposes, we strongly recommend:
