You don’t have to pay for your grading until PSA processes and grades your cards. Once PSA posts your grades, we will request payment from you for your cards on that submission. We will ship your cards back once you have paid for the grading and (if requested) any additional insurance. Note: there are some rare exceptions, such as when the value of your cards are worth far less than the estimated grading costs that you will incur. In those rare instances, we reserve the right to request partial or full payment prior to submitting your cards.

We do our best to process your cards within 2 business days of arrival at our processing center. We ship to PSA multiple times a week.

We typically ship orders back to customers within 24 hours after receiving back from PSA.

Yes - this is one of many benefits of submitting with us. While other PSA group submitters often require you to sort your cards and/or submit multiple forms or even shipments, we will take care of the heavy lifting for you. When you have cards in multiple service levels though, remember that the fee per card and your processing time will vary.

We have found over the past 20+ years of submitting with PSA that this documentation protects you (the customer) and us (your service partner). When we receive your cards we are able to quickly confirm receipt of all cards listed on your spreadsheet and contact you if any cards are missing from either the spreadsheet or the shipment.

We recommend that you use eBay completed listings for your card in a similar condition. For modern cards, you can use the average sale price for raw cards. In rare occasions, PSA will charge an upcharge if your declared value is far less than the graded value. See next FAQ for more info.

Please note that at times, PSA will “upcharge” a card on an order, if the grade received pushes the card into another value tier. Customers are responsible for these upcharges on the rare occasions that they occur, typically on cards that have graded a 10 and increased in value between the time they were submitted and graded. We pass the cost of these uncharges directly to you in your invoice.

While some of our competitors charge $3 or more per card, we prescreen at no charge upon your request. We do not guarantee any grades, we simply judge your cards using the same standards we use for our own cards to try and eliminate any that are not (in our opinion) worthy of grading at the time of submission.

In general, we will return those cards back to you at no additional cost. If the number of cards or the value of the cards requires significant insurance, we will contact you to discuss any additional payment required on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, we process submissions for customers all over the globe. The costs are exactly the same other than the return shipping/insurance back to the submitter. Once your cards are ready to ship back and you let us  know how much insurance coverage you want, we can let you know your return shipping cost. We ship using DHL for the safest, most secure method of international shipping.

We provide much faster turnaround times than the general public receives, we provide free pre-screening and counterfeit detection, we help you evaluate what you should submit, and we are able to provide you with real-time updates on your orders. When you want to work with a professional team, we are here for you.

PSA is currently not offering "Cross Over" service, but if you want your cards cracked out, we can assist with that in some cases, depending on what holders they are in; however, we cannot assume any liability if damage is incurred during the removal process. Yo u also can crack your own cards out and then ship to us for normal PSA processing.

Yes, we do offer a PSA consignment program. We charge a flat 25% which covers all eBay fees, PayPal fees, shipping fees, etc., so you receive 75% of the final sales price when we sell your card for you on eBay. In some cases, you can also use your cards as collateral to take your grading fees out of the sales price as well so that we end up paying you, rather than you having to pay us.

If you own chrome stock cards (Prizm, Optic, Select, etc.), we do recommend that you wipe them before submitting, but this is not a service that we offer. We do not do anything to alter your card in any way once we receive it. Some companies offer to do this as a paid service per card, but we recommend that you save your money and do it yourself before shipping your cards out as it takes only a few seconds per card.
