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 — $15.00 per card

Orders of more than 20 cards (21+ cards) are $10.00 per card. 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.

Review & acknowledge

Please read this plain-language agreement before completing the request.

By initialing below, I acknowledge that:

  • CLI and Card Condition Report scores are SNL Sports’ opinion-based educational guidance. They are not guaranteed or exact.
  • SNL Sports does not guarantee a grade, card value, or outcome from any grading company.
  • I authorize the selected support service and agree to its listed fee. The CLI + Card Condition Report is $15.00 per card, or $10.00 per card for orders of more than 20 cards (21+ cards), and includes the CLI / Card Condition Report, existing one-touch label, new one-touch, and team bag.
  • Will This Card GEM? is $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, but this opinion-based screening service does not guarantee the result or card value.
  • After a Will This Card GEM? review, when applicable, the card is returned in a semi-rigid sleeve with a sticker seal placed over the sleeve seal. A clear / diamond-style sticker means SNL Sports believes the card should be considered for a 9 or 10; a red sticker means the card would be unlikely to GEM based on the review. The sticker is an opinion indicator, not a grading-company result or guarantee.
  • Grading Submission Support is 20% of the grading submission cost, plus applicable shipping and insurance charges. The 20% is based on the grading submission cost, not the card’s value.
  • When submission support is selected, I authorize card cleaning, handling, submission preparation, and sending the cards to the selected grading company.
  • I understand cards are secured behind lock and key while in SNL Sports’ care. Any insurance coverage is subject to the policy’s terms.
  • SNL Sports does not assume liability for damage, loss, or theft beyond any applicable coverage or claim process.
