About
Worth The Grade is a plain-spoken, math-first take on vintage sports cards and card grading. No hype, no PSA 10 fantasies — just honest breakeven math, real comps, and hard-won lessons about what's actually worth slabbing.
About the author
Neil Herzog has been collecting sports cards and memorabilia for 40 years. He buys, sells, and submits cards for grading himself — he's not a dealer chasing volume, but a collector who knows the hobby from the inside. That's why this site tells you the truth about grading instead of just cheerleading for it.
