What a racket. With card prices as high as they are now the fees must be ridiculous. Just curious, IF someone had a T206 Wagner that was raw and about VG condition, how much would it cost to have it graded?
Is there some MAX fee for the TPGs? At some point, it's just ridiculous. Do they also charge these crazy fees for new/shiny 1 of 1 cards that people are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for?

I don't speak for anyone else but for me to have that card in a slab and harder for me to mess it up and easier for me wife to not get cheated later is well worth the cost.
Back in 2020 I listed a Jordan card on ebay for $20. No takers, offers, etc. Graded a 10 at PSA, sold immediately for 1500. It's a crazy 'hobby"
I think PSA has a walk thru service. I can't afford those cards so I don't know what it costs. lots!
