Here's what it all means for your cards. Card grading just had its biggest year ever — and the landscape shifted in ways that matter for anyone thinking about sending cards off to be slabbed. Whether you're chasing a PSA 10 or just wondering if grading is even worth it, the 2025–2026 numbers tell a clear story.
