Investment Thesis

bearish34

Shuckle (CGC 9) is currently trading at a meaningful discount to fair value, with softening price momentum over the last 30 days (-10.5%). Estimated fair value is $35 against a lowest active listing of $29. Valuation confidence is high based on 3-plus modeled comparable sales.

Bearish: softening prices (-10.5% over 30d) amid healthy trading velocity and stable graded supply.

Grading ROI & Population Trend

Is it worth paying to grade this card? A transparent profit model from the real ungraded cost and the audited graded value, plus a read on graded-supply momentum. The cost and odds levers are modeled assumptions you can adjust — not market-price pins.

Adjust modeled assumptions

These are modeled estimates, not market-price pins.

  • Modeled gem-grade odds: 30% chance of CGC 9 (a modeled probability, not a market price). Non-gem outcomes are valued conservatively at $0.
  • Modeled grading-service fee: $25.00 per card, plus $4.00 shipping/insurance (modeled service costs, not market prices).
  • Modeled marketplace sell fee: 13.0% of graded proceeds (a modeled cost, not a market price).
  • Raw cost and graded value trace to the existing audited references/pins — this panel authors no new market-price value.
