Question 1

How does the card grading ROI calculator work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your card's raw (ungraded) value, choose a grading service (PSA, CGC, or Beckett), select a service tier, and pick your expected grade. The calculator uses real market multipliers to estimate your graded card value, total cost, profit, and ROI percentage — giving you a clear picture of whether grading makes financial sense.

Question 2

Is it worth grading a Pokémon card in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the card's condition and value. As a rule of thumb, cards worth RM200+ in near-mint condition and likely to grade PSA 9 or better are worth grading. Cards under RM100 rarely justify the grading fee unless you're targeting PSA 10 on a high-demand set. TCGKL's official grading partners — PSA, CGC, and Beckett — are available at our events.

Question 3

What is the difference between PSA, CGC, and Beckett grading?

Accepted Answer

PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) is the most liquid graded label globally with the highest resale premiums — ideal for Pokémon and sports cards. CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) is growing fast, especially for modern sets, and uses half-point grades. Beckett (BGS) commands the highest premium at the top tier: a BGS Black Label 10 can trade at 10–12× raw value, making it the best option for pristine vintage cards.

Question 4

How long does PSA grading take in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Submission timelines vary by service tier. Regular service typically takes 3–6 months; Express is 30–45 business days; Super Express can be 5–10 business days. TCGKL facilitates bulk submissions at our events, which can streamline the process. Check with our team for the latest turnaround estimates.
