Value and costs

Ross Sheridan

Ross writes about what cards are worth and what each choice costs you: grading, selling back, shipping, and selling on your own. Ross comes to cards from finance, so expect fees, spreads and the numbers behind "worth it". Ross collects Japanese anime cards. Never investment advice: cards are for collecting.

Covers: which grader's slab sells for more, packs versus singles, sell back, ship or sell it yourself. Our writers are members of the Pullfox team and write under pen names. How we write our guides.
