Can I Track PSA Graded Cards in CardLogx?

Short answer: Yes. CardLogx includes PSA graded card inventory tracking as part of its 70,000+ card database. You can log the grade, track a graded card's value relative to its raw counterpart, and fold your grading costs directly into net-profit calculations. A PSA-graded card and a raw copy of the same card are treated as two distinct inventory items, each with its own value.

Why graded cards need their own tracking

A raw Charizard and a PSA 10 Charizard are the same artwork, but they are not the same product. One might sell for $40; the other might sell for many multiples of that. If your inventory system lumps them together, your numbers lie to you: your average cost is wrong, your sell-through is wrong, and your profit per card is a guess.

This is exactly where spreadsheet workflows break down. You end up with duplicate rows, manual notes like "graded – PSA 9," and columns you have to remember to update by hand. CardLogx was built by a founder who outgrew his own spreadsheet, so PSA graded card inventory tracking is handled at the database level instead of being bolted on. The grade is a real attribute of the item, not a note you hope you typed correctly.

How CardLogx separates graded from raw

In CardLogx, a graded card and its raw version live as separate inventory items with separate values. The 70,000+ card database covers every English and Japanese Pokemon card with images, live market pricing, and PSA grade data, so when you log a slabbed card you are pulling from real grade-aware pricing rather than eyeballing it.

That separation matters the moment you own both versions of a card. Say you keep three raw copies and one PSA 9 in stock. CardLogx tracks them independently, so you always know how many raw copies you have, what the graded one is worth today, and which one to reach for when a buyer asks. When either sells, the two-way eBay and Shopify sync updates your inventory everywhere, and card-show mode keeps in-person sales in step in real time.

“The first time I graded a card, I realized my inventory was lying to me — my raw copy and my PSA 9 were sitting in the same row with the same value. Graded cards are different products, and your software has to treat them that way.”

— Aviv, Founder of CardLogx

Getting grading costs into your profit math

Here is the part most sellers overlook. Sending a card to PSA is not free, and if you do not account for the grading fee, your profit on that card is inflated. A card that cost $20 raw, $15 to grade, and sold for $60 did not make you $40.

CardLogx automatic net-profit tracking includes grading costs alongside purchase price, platform fees, payment fees, and shipping. So the grade does not just change the sale price you can expect; it changes the cost basis the software uses to calculate what you actually kept. Your dashboards and reports show the real number, which makes the next decision easier: was grading this card worth it, and should you grade the next one like it?

Frequently asked questions

Does CardLogx treat a graded card and a raw card as the same item?

No. CardLogx treats a PSA-graded card and a raw copy of the same card as distinct inventory items with distinct values. You can hold both versions of a card at once and track each separately.

Can I see how much more my graded card is worth than the raw version?

Yes. Because the database carries PSA grade data and live market pricing, you can track a graded card's value relative to its raw counterpart, which helps you decide whether grading a given card is worth it.

Are grading fees included in profit calculations?

Yes. CardLogx automatic net-profit tracking includes grading costs along with purchase price, platform fees, payment fees, and shipping, so your reported profit reflects what grading actually cost you.

Does graded inventory sync across eBay, Shopify, and card shows?

Yes. The two-way eBay and Shopify sync and card-show mode apply to your whole inventory. When a graded card sells on any channel or at a show, your stock updates everywhere in real time.
