  • Please package your cards carefully, as we are not responsible for any lost packages or damaged cards that are shipped from you to us. 
  • Team Bags, Cardboard, Tape, Bubble Wrap, ect. are all perfectly acceptable and encouraged. 
  • Please Separate Your Cards By Service Level and clearly label them as such if you are mailing cards for multiple service levels in the same package. 
  • Card Saver 1's are Required for Regular Sized Cards by SGC (100pt-180pt can be sent in a Top Loader). If you do not send your cards in Card Savers, an additional charge of $.50 per card will be added to your order. 
  • If you would prefer to ship your cards via UPS or FedEx to us, please email us so we can make those arrangements. 
  • We do rolling submissions, so as soon as we have 50 cards in total for the Value Bulk and Value Plus Level, we send off an order to PSA. We are currently sending out a 100+ Card Submission every single Tuesday! Hopefully moving to two submissions a week soon!
  • As soon as we receive your cards with your submission form, we will send you an email or an Instagram DM with a picture of the cards we received to show confirmation that we received your cards.
  • The Max-Declared Value (which is what your card is estimated to be worth for insurance and replacement purposes by PSA) is Shown Clearly on the submission form. Please do your best to estimate the cards value, as if you send it in the wrong level you may be subject to an up-charge by PSA. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
