What this is
Cards graded by PSA, the largest grading firm, in 2023: 13.5m across all games and sports. PSA had about 78% of the market, and its volume rose 21% on 2022.
How it’s built
- From GemRate, a firm that tracks grading volumes, as reported by Sports Illustrated's collectibles site.
What we assumed
- All card types.This is PSA's total; Pokémon is a share of it.
Sanity check
13.5m after a 21% rise implies about 11.2m graded in 2022; that earlier figure is worked back from the growth rate, not reported.
