You don't have to post cards to the US to get them graded. Our directory lists local graders with euro prices in France, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, and CGC Cards, Beckett and PSA publish euro price lists too. Prices vary a lot, and the cheapest headline price often isn't what one card actually costs, because some of the lowest tiers need a minimum order.
This guide lists every grading company in our directory that publishes prices in euros, sorted by what it costs to grade a single card. Where a company has a cheaper bulk tier, it's shown separately with its minimum.

The cheapest options, explained
The 3 cheapest graders for a single card are all European companies rather than the big US brands. Local graders tend to compete on price, while the large brands charge more and lean on resale recognition.
1. SFG Grading · €8.50
SFG Grading, based in France, charges €8.50 per card on its Classique (classic label) tier. Its published turnaround is 15 working days. The tier charges the same whatever the card is worth.
2. MTG Grade · €12.00
MTG Grade, based in France, charges €12.00 per card on its Certification & Grading (Standard) tier. It doesn't publish a turnaround for that tier. The tier charges the same whatever the card is worth.
3. Pure Grading · €14.00
Pure Grading, based in France, charges €14.00 per card on its Gradation standard tier. Its published turnaround is 25–30 days. The tier doesn't publish a value limit.
A low price is only part of the decision. Before you send cards to a smaller grader, check that buyers in your market recognise its slabs, and look at its grading scale, subgrades and certificate lookup on its profile.
PSA, CGC and Beckett in Europe
The three biggest US graders all publish euro prices, so you don't have to pay in dollars or post cards to the US yourself.
- CGC Cards lists €22.61 per card for its Economy (EU/Munich) tier on its European price list, with a published turnaround of 50 working days.
- Beckett (BGS) lists €22.95 per card for its Base (Beckett Europe) tier on its European price list, with a published turnaround of 75 days.
- PSA lists €39.99 per card for its Value (EU) tier on its European price list, with a published turnaround of 90–100 business days.
Collectors often pay more for these three because their slabs are the most widely recognised when reselling, which matters most for valuable cards you plan to sell.
One card or bulk?
Bulk tiers lower the price per card, but only once you reach the minimum. Below it, the single-card price is the real one.
At Gradingpoint, the Bulk tier saves €2.95 per card against the single-card price (€17.00 instead of €19.95), or €73.75 on a minimum order of 25 cards.
At CGC Cards, the Bulk (EU/Munich) tier saves €2.38 per card against the single-card price (€20.23 instead of €22.61), or €59.50 on a minimum order of 25 cards.
Ace Grading only publishes a bulk price for euro customers: €14.00 per card on its Core (international) tier, with a minimum of 20 cards.
If you don't have enough cards of your own, group submissions through a dealer or club are a common way to reach a bulk minimum. Your country page lists the dealers we know of.
What the price doesn't include
- Shipping both ways. You pay to send the cards and usually to get them back. Sending within your own country or the EU is normally simpler and cheaper than shipping abroad.
- Insurance. Check how each grader covers your cards in transit and while it has them. Cover is usually tied to the value you declare, and higher values can cost more.
- Value limits. If a tier has a value limit and your card is worth more, you'll need a pricier tier. See which graders charge more for valuable cards.
- Extras. Custom labels, photos and faster turnaround are often charged on top.

Do European graders charge more for valuable cards?
Some do. Of the 12 single-card tiers here, 4 charge the same fee at any card value, 2 set a limit on how much the card can be worth, and 6 don't publish either way. Our guide to value upcharges explains how the limits work.
Can I use PSA from Europe?

How we built this guide
We took every grading company in our directory that publishes a price in euros for an EU market. For each one we show the cheapest tier you can order for one card and, separately, any cheaper tier that needs a minimum number of cards. Tiers that are paused, authentication-only, encapsulation-only or for oversized cards are left out. Every price comes from the company's own price page on the date listed below, and nothing is converted between currencies.
