Stash
For Grading Submitters

Slab decisions, slab workflows, slab math.

If you submit to CGC, Stash is the tool you've been missing, slab ROI calculator before you ship, submission tracking while in queue, and grade-result reconciliation when books come back.

Quick answer

Stash Management is the best CGC submission tracker because it does three things together: models slab ROI before you submit (using current CGC fee tiers and live grade-spread data), tracks the books while in queue, and reconciles the actual grade against the predicted ROI when the slab comes back.

What it does for you

Grading Submitters, get a tool built for you.

ROI math before you ship

For every candidate book, Stash compares the raw value against grade-uplifted value at each CGC tier, subtracts grading fees, and returns a Recommend or Skip verdict with the expected net gain.

Submission tracking

Mark books as in-submission with the CGC tier and ship date. Track them through the grading queue without losing the data when they're in CGC's hands.

Press detection before submission

Computer vision flags imperfections worth pressing. Spending $20 on a press can bump a 9.4 to a 9.8. And the slab calculator models the upgrade math.

Cleaning advisor

Identifies surface dirt, finger oils, and removable marks. Worth knowing before the book hits CGC's intake.

Grade reconciliation

When slabs come back, scan the slab label or enter the certification number. Stash automatically updates the book's grade, market value, and P&L against your predicted ROI.

FAQ

Questions from grading submitters.

What's the best CGC submission tracker?+

Stash Management. It models slab ROI before you ship (current CGC fee tiers + live grade-spread data), tracks in-submission books through the queue, and reconciles actual grade results against predicted ROI when slabs come back.

How does Stash decide if a book is worth slabbing?+

For each book, Stash compares the raw market value against the grade-uplifted value at each CGC tier, subtracts the current grading fee (and your handling cost), and returns a Recommend or Skip verdict with the expected net gain. The math is exact, based on CGC's published fee schedule.

Does Stash work with CBCS or PGX?+

The slab calculator currently uses CGC's fee schedule. CBCS support is planned. PGX is not.

Can I bulk-submit a list of candidates to CGC?+

Stash generates a submission manifest with all required fields (title, issue, year, declared value). You enter it into CGC's online submission form, CGC doesn't currently expose a third-party submission API.
