Know which bulk cards are worth grading, and where to send them.

Upload your bulk Pokémon cards. Dragon Card Lab ranks them by expected profit after grading fees and turnaround, picks the best grader and tier for each one, fits the plan to your budget, and drafts eBay listings for the cards that aren't worth grading.

Why this matters right now

On June 2, 2026, PSA paused new submissions to its Value tiers, and PSA still listed them as paused in October 2026. When the cheapest route at one grader closes, the math on which cards to grade, and which grader and tier to use, changes. Dragon Card Lab redoes that math for every card in your pile, using the tiers that are actually open.

How it works

  1. Add your bulk

    Upload a CSV or paste a list of your cards. Photo scanning is on the roadmap.

  2. Set your budget

    Tell us how much you want to spend on grading and how much a long turnaround costs you.

  3. Get your plan

    See which cards to grade, where to send each one, what it all costs, and eBay drafts for everything else.

What you get

Grader and tier routing

Each card is compared across PSA, CGC, SGC, BGS and TAG, using every tier that's open and fits the card's declared value.

Profit ranking

Cards are ranked by expected profit compared with selling raw, after grading fees, shipping, selling fees and the cost of waiting.

Budget plan

Get the best set of cards to grade for the budget you set, grouped into submissions by grader and tier.

eBay listing drafts

Cards that aren't worth grading get bulk eBay listing drafts with titles and prices, exported as a CSV.

An example result

Here's a 30-card sample batch from our working prototype with a $500 budget.

Example data, not real prices
Prototype screenshot. Summary: 4 of 30 cards to grade, plan cost $365.97 of a $500 budget, $276.95 expected profit over selling raw, and 25 cards to sell raw. The submission plan sends 3 cards to PSA's cheapest open tier and 1 to PSA Express. The ranked table lists Charizard, Umbreon VMAX and Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat as grade with PSA, and Blastoise as grade later with CGC.
