TCGplayer prices via Scryfall, updated September 10, 2026. Raw, ungraded, the highest-priced finish of each card. A market price, not a sale.

Is it worth grading?

6 cards in 1996 Magic Mirage list at $30 or more raw on TCGplayer. Grading at PSA runs about $25 to $30 a card once shipping and insurance both ways are counted, so those 6 are the cards where a high grade can pay for itself. For the rest, a grade usually costs more than it adds.

The deciding question is condition, and that is what the scanner reads: photograph the front and back and The Hobby Treasury scores centering, corners, edges and surface, gives a PSA-style estimate, and makes the worth-submitting call before you pay a fee.

What the scanner checks on your copy

CenteringBorder widths front and back, measured the way a grader reads them.

CornersWhitening, dings and soft tips, corner by corner.

EdgesChipping and wear along all four sides.

SurfaceScratches, print lines, dents and gloss, including holo surfaces.

The grade is an AI estimate to help you decide, never an official grade. The app also flags reprint and counterfeit red flags.
