Price Per Grade, on the Whatnot platform, represents a metric used to evaluate the relative value of graded trading cards. It is derived by dividing the card’s market price by its assigned grade. For example, a card selling for $100 that has received a grade of ‘9’ would have a Price Per Grade of approximately $11.11.
This metric serves as a tool for buyers and sellers to assess whether the price of a graded card reflects its condition as determined by a third-party grading service. Examining this value allows users to compare similar cards across different grades, identifying potential deals or overpriced listings. The concept emerged as the graded card market matured, requiring more sophisticated valuation methods beyond raw price comparison.
