CGC Services

  • Best Value - Bulk

    For cards up to $1000 raw

    • $14/card

    If submitting less than 5 cards to CGC, add additional $10 for return shipping.

Prescreening Service

We offer an optional Pre-Screening Service.

Pass/Fail Pre-Screening - $3/card (only available for Value Bulk PSA, SGC, and CGC submissions)

Detailed Pre-Screening - $5/card (required when requesting screening for service levels higher than Value Bulk and available by request at any service level & for any grading company).

Pre-Screening Standards:

For Modern Cards (1980 and Newer): Approve estimated 9's and 10's (unless noted otherwise), and "reject" cards estimated to grade an 8 or lower.

For Vintage Sports Cards (Sports: 1979 and Older), High-Profile Rookies (80's, 90's, 00's), and Vintage Pokemon (1999-2003): Approved if they have a potential value greater than the grading fee in their current condition.

Our Pass/Fail screening does not include markups and details.

Our Detailed screening includes markups and details on why cards are rejected.

All screening services include pictures and email communication for rejected cards.

Rejects are returned to you in the same shipment as your graded cards (once they return from grading).

Our pre-screening service is an optional add-on to our grading services, not a replacement. Any cards approved for grading should be sent to CGC. If you would like your cards only pre-screened without grading, it will cost $10/card.
