Ace Grading prices and turnaround

Understand Ace's dated service levels, member-only tiers and the costs excluded from a per-card grading fee.

By the Trading Card Preservation team · Checked 2026-10-25

Grading prices and turnaround times change often. Use the individual source dates shown with the service figures; check the current price before you submit.
This isn't financial advice. A grade doesn't guarantee a resale price, and grading fees and postage can cost more than a card is worth.

Read a fee together with its conditions

Ace's pricing page lists Core and Value as AceSelect-only services, with Basic, Standard, Premier, Ultra and Luxury as further levels. The comparer contains the checked per-card fees and business-day estimates from 25 October 2026.

The fee table is dated information, not a booking confirmation. Open the current Ace pricing page before making a submission and confirm that the service you want is available.

Do not mistake a base fee for the bill

The checked page separates standard labels from paid label options. Our tool uses the base grading fee and does not add labels, postage or a membership purchase. If you are not already a member, compare the complete membership cost with your planned quantity rather than assuming a member-only tier is automatically the cheapest route.

Check card eligibility directly

The checked pricing page does not give a numerical declared-value cap for each Ace tier. We mark that limit unconfirmed. A missing number does not establish that every card is accepted at every level.

Before sending, check supported card types, packing instructions, any applicable value conditions and the return arrangements. Ask the service if your card has an unusual format or construction. For a comparison of the decisions involved, read UK grading routes.
