Shipping and insurance of $40 per order (both ways) is an assumption, not a SGC price; real cost depends on carrier and insured value. Every card must also fit under the tier’s declared-value cap, see all SGC tiers.

Worked example
10 cards at Standard, up to $1,500 (40+ days): 10 × $50.00 = $500.00, plus $40 shipping = $540.00, or $54.00 per card. Each card must then sell for much more than that to pay off: see break-even price.
