What is the Slabline Score?

The Slabline Score is a credit-style 0–1000 risk index for a graded trading-card collection, blended from five weighted factors: Insurance (35%), Concentration (25%), Storage (20%), Liquidity (10%), and Provenance (10%). Higher is better; bands run A (≥880) to F (<400).

How does Slabline value my graded cards?

Each card is valued from recent comparable sales for the exact graded card (by certification number and grade), aggregated across eBay, Heritage, Goldin, and PWCC. More comps yield a tighter, higher-confidence value.

Does Slabline sell insurance?

No. Slabline is software that produces broker-ready insurance schedules and risk reports. It is not an insurer, broker, or appraiser and does not provide insurance, financial, or legal advice.

Which cards and categories does Slabline support?

Two collections can be worth the same on paper, but one converts to cash in a week and the other takes months at a discount. That gap is liquidity — and it is easy to overlook until you need to sell.

What liquidity means here

Liquidity is how quickly and reliably you can turn a card into cash near its fair value. Popular, frequently traded cards are liquid; thin-market, niche, or ultra-high-end cards can take time and a haircut to move.

Why it matters

If you ever need to raise cash — or simply rebalance — illiquid holdings cost you in time and price. A collection heavy in hard-to-sell cards carries a hidden risk a paper total does not show.

Measure it

Slabline scores liquidity as one of its five factors (10% of the Slabline Score), using how readily your holdings convert to cash — so you can see, at a glance, how sellable your collection really is.
