For trading card resellers
Singles, slabs, sealed wax — every cost line tracked.
Trading card reselling has three distinct inventory types with three different cost structures. Profit Hawk handles all of them — so you know your real margin on every single, every slab, and every box break, not just your gut feeling.
- Per-card cost basis from singles, collections, or box breaks
- PSA/BGS grading fees as a cost line on the specific card
- Sealed wax box-break accounting — cost allocated across pulled cards

Plays nice with where you already sell.
A PSA 10 rookie isn't profit until you subtract the grading fee, the submission cost, and what you paid for the raw card.
Card resellers deal with layered cost structures that standard bookkeeping software handles badly. A $3 raw card becomes a $25 PSA 10 becomes a $180 eBay sale — but the real cost is $3 raw + $25 grading fee + $4 shipping to PSA = $32 cost basis. Profit Hawk tracks every layer so your margin number on that card is accurate, not just the raw card price.
What Profit Hawk tracks for card resellers
Every inventory type, every cost layer.
- Singles: per-card cost from collection buys, singles purchases, or trade values
- Slabs: raw card cost + grading fee + submission shipping as total cost basis
- Sealed wax: box cost allocated across pulled singles by estimated value or manual entry
- Collection lots: bulk purchase cost split across individual cards as you sell them
- Grading turnaround as an expense — bulk vs. standard vs. express submission
- eBay fee verification on high-value card sales where errors cost real money
- Sales tax correctly separated — eBay collects on your behalf
Box break accounting that actually works.
You paid $200 for a hobby box. You pulled 36 packs. The hits are worth something; the commons are not. Profit Hawk lets you allocate the $200 cost across your pulls by value weight or manual entry. When each card sells, the right cost basis is already there. Box breaks stop being a mystery and start being a margin calculation.
Grading fees as a first-class cost line.
PSA, BGS, CGC — grading fees are real costs that belong in your COGS, not buried in a spreadsheet column you forget about. Add the grading fee and submission shipping to the card's cost basis. When it sells graded, the margin number is accurate: you see what the raw card cost, what grading added, and what the total net profit was.
Collection buys split correctly across cards you actually sell.
You bought a 500-card lot for $80. Most of it is bulk commons. You pulled 12 cards worth listing. Profit Hawk lets you allocate the $80 across just the listable cards — or proportionally across all 500 — so your cost basis reflects how you're actually running the business, not an accounting abstraction.
