The 2026 Grading Landscape
Wait times have stabilized significantly in 2026 compared to the "Bulk Boom" of 2022. However, hidden costs like **return shipping**, **insurance premiums**, and **up-charge fees** (if your card hits a higher value) are still catching collectors off guard.
đŸ’¡ Pro Tip: SGC currently has the highest ROI for vintage cards due to their $15 special price point and sub-10 day return window. For modern Pokemon, CGC is currently the value leader.
