Your goal sets the path.
Whether you are chasing a personal grail, preparing a high-end card, or working toward a specific timeline, we start by understanding what matters to you.
Card grading & reports / support
Make the card’s story easier to read.
Values move for real reasons. Our reports give collectors a plain-language read on rarity, demand, condition, and the details that make a card worth a closer look.
Before you submit
The smartest grade starts with a better conversation.
Grading can be expensive. Submitting without the right preparation can cost even more. SNL Sports listens first, learns what you want from the card and when you need it back, then helps you make an informed decision.

This is SNL Sports’ stated track record, shared for context and education—not a guarantee of any future grading result.
Education without a house favorite.
SNL Sports is not tied to one grading company. We help you understand the options and choose the company that best fits the card, the goal, and the budget.
Care continues after the decision.
High-end cards deserve exceptional care. We take packaging, insurance, and custody seriously from intake through shipment and return.
Three ways to get a better read
Support that meets the card where it is.
Not every card needs a slab right away. Choose a report, screen a card before submitting, or let SNL Sports help prepare and send a grading submission.
01Understand first
CLI + Card Condition Report — $20.00 per card for submissions of 1–19 cards
$12.00 per card for submissions of 20 or more cards. This service is for collectors who are not ready to submit for grading and includes the CLI / Card Condition Report plus the existing one-touch label, a new one-touch, and a team bag.
- Label applied directly to the one-touch
- A new one-touch
- A team bag to protect the one-touch
02Prepare & send
Grading Submission Support — 20% of the grading submission cost, plus applicable shipping and insurance charges
This fee is 20% of the grading submission cost, plus applicable shipping and insurance charges. The 20% is based on the submission cost, not the card’s value. If a 3-card Beckett or PSA submission costs $250, SNL Sports’ support fee is $50, with shipping and insurance added separately when applicable.
SNL Sports cleans the cards, enters them with the grading company, packages them, and sends them off, making every reasonable effort to position cards for the strongest possible grade. We never guarantee a grade.
03Screen first
Will This Card GEM? — $7.00 per card
SNL Sports makes every reasonable effort to help determine whether a card may receive a 9 or 10 if submitted to PSA or Beckett. This opinion-based screening service helps you assess potential value before submitting, but we make no guarantee of the result.
- Returned when applicable in a semi-rigid sleeve
- Clear / diamond-style sticker: SNL Sports believes the card should be considered for a 9 or 10
- Red sticker: unlikely to GEM based on the review
- Sticker is an opinion indicator—not a grading-company result or guarantee
The SNL Sports collector lens
Two scores. One clearer conversation.
Both metrics help put useful language around a card. They are educational guidance from SNL Sports—not exact science, a promise of value, or a grading-company result.
CLI 1—10 max
Card Liquidity Index Score
CLI = Card Liquidity Index Score, rated strictly 1–10, with 10 as the maximum. A 1 means the card is readily accessible and lower cost to acquire. A 10 means it is highly rare and very expensive to acquire—or possibly affordable but with very limited market availability.
CCR A+—F
Card Condition Report
The Card Condition Report uses a letter scale from A+ through F: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, and F. It shares our opinion on the card’s condition, including the details collectors look at before grading.
Important: CLI and Card Condition Report scores are SNL Sports’ opinions, intended as educational guidance. They are not guaranteed, exact, or a promise of value or grading-company results.
