PSA Grading — drop-off & group submission

Is it worth grading?

Grading makes sense when a clean, high-grade slab is worth meaningfully more than the raw card, and enough more to cover the grading cost. A quick gut check:

• Condition first. Grading rewards sharp corners, clean edges, good centering, and a flawless surface. A card with obvious wear rarely grades high enough to gain value.
• Value vs. cost. If a card is worth only a few dollars raw, grading usually costs more than it adds. Chase cards, rookies, and vintage are where it pays off.
• Know the break-even. Roughly: grade it when (graded value − raw value) comfortably beats the grading fee. When in doubt, ask us — we'll give you an honest read before you commit.

Not sure about a card? Bring it in and we'll help you decide. We'd rather talk you out of grading a $3 common than take the fee.

Service tiers

Grading price is set by the card's declared value (its value after grading) — pick the service whose value ceiling covers your card. If a card grades into a higher value than declared, PSA moves it up to the correct service; that's an "upcharge." Turnaround days start when your order arrives at PSA, not at drop-off.

The grading price includes shipping to and from PSA, insurance up to that service's declared-value ceiling, and any duties or tariffs. Your total at pickup = grading price + return shipping to you + GST/PST. No payment is taken at drop-off — you pay only once your slabs are back and ready.
