Submitting Cards or Tickets Having your collectibles graded by PSA is one of the smartest decisions you will ever make as a collector.
This one simple step protects your investment, maximizes its value and is easy to do. Moreover, grading a
collectible before you sell helps you realize its full value without leaving money on the table. With multiple
PSA grading service options, you are sure to find one that fits your needs and budget.
Your first step to submitting collectibles to PSA is to join the PSA Collectors Club. Once a member, you can
submit your cards and collectibles a number of ways:
Mail - Cards, tickets and other collectibles can be sent directly to PSA. Please note, we ONLY accept
packages from the U.S. Postal Service and Federal Express. When shipping via the USPS, send to PSA, P.O.
Box 6180, Newport Beach, CA 92658. When shipping via Federal Express, send to PSA, 700 E. Alton, Santa Ana,
CA 92705; Fed Ex Ground, send to PSA 1921 E. Alton Ave. Suite 100, Santa Ana, CA 92705. Submission forms with exact, detailed shipping and packing instructions can be found
by clicking here. Or you may call customer service at 1-800-325-1121 for assistance.
Trade Shows - You can drop off any card or collectible, vintage or modern, of any value for submission or
on-site grading at the PSA booth at all major trade and hobby shows. For upcoming show dates, click here or call 1-800-325-1121.
Direct submission - PSA accepts submissions at our offices on public Fridays. Click here for schedule. Orders submitted under the $30 Express service or higher, and any bulk order over 100 cards will be allowed to be picked up by appointment only. Please contact customer service at 1-800-325-1121 to schedule an appointment. For all other submissions the customer is responsible for shipping and handling. PSA is located in Orange County, CA off the 55 freeway at 192 E. Alton Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705. A note about the declared value section and service levels: Please keep in mind that the declared value section is crucial in filling out the submission forms properly. For example, if you declare the value on a card, no matter what type of card -- star or common -- and the value is $1,200, you cannot submit that card at any service other than Super Express or higher. The value you declare on each and every card affects the service type and failure to comply with the stated rules can delay your order. PSA appreciates your attention to this matter. Please follow the declared value rules stated on the submission form. Crossover Service (Cards)
Cards graded by other third-party firms may be submitted in their holders for PSA grading. This service is available under all service levels. PSA will evaluate the card inside the current holder. If PSA deems the card worthy to cross over into the Customer’s specified minimum grade, the card will be removed from its holder and placed into a PSA holder. Customers using the Crossover Service must provide a minimum grade on the submission form.If you are willing to accept any PSA opinion, even if the result is evidence of trimming, questionable authenticity, etc., then write “Any” in the column. It may result in the card being returned unholdered. If you are willing to accept any PSA grade, then put “1” in the minimum grade column.
Pedigree Service **Grading and Authenticating Service All card/ticket issues vary in size. Occasionally, a card/ticket will not fit into the designated holder. If this occurs, it will be placed in a mylar sleeve and put in an oversized holder. There are also card/ticket issues that PSA’s current holders cannot accommodate. Please call customer service for more details.
Submitting cards or tickets to PSA is easy. Go to www.psacard.com to download
submission forms. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions on how to submit your cards/tickets and a
list of available supplies. Please note that separate invoices must be submitted for
different grading services and service types (crossovers, regular size, tallboys, reviews, cards
and tickets) and are subject to separate grading fees and shipping & handling fees.
A service that will allow collectors to personalize their labels. For example, the "John Doe Collection" may appear on the PSA label. This will be offered on a case by case basis, reserved for “special” cards and/or sets that must meet certain high-end or rare criteria. Pedigree requests must be pre-approved prior to submission. Final approval is at PSA’s sole discretion. Please contact Customer Service for details and instructions.
Please keep in mind that an autographed card or ticket submitted under the PSA card or ticket grading and autograph authentication combination service must pass both autograph authentication and card grading authentication in order to be encapsulated. For example, a card or ticket that is deemed altered
in any way will not be encapsulated even though the autograph may be genuine. In addition, if the card is deemed original and unaltered yet the autograph does not pass inspection, then the card may not be encapsulated.There may be very rare exceptions to the rule on a case by case basis (in cases where the autograph and card are deemed authentic but the card has been altered in some fashion). In a rare case where an authentic card has been altered, PSA may
choose to label the card “Authentic” since the card cannot have a grade assigned. Keep in mind that this is a rare occurrence and PSA must feel that the encapsulation is warranted and justified.The final determination, as to whether a card is encapsulated under these conditions, is at PSA’s sole discretion.
