You'll need your submission form, clear penny sleeves, semi-rigid card holders, cardboard dividers, rubber bands, a new shipping box, bubble wrap, and packing tape.

Place each card into a clear penny sleeve. Avoid solid or opaque sleeves, which can cause delays.

Slide each sleeved card into a semi-rigid holder. Make sure both sides are fully visible. Do not use toploaders, tape, pull tabs, or sticky notes.

For standard trading cards, semi-rigid holders must be 3 5/16" × 4 7/8".

Stack your cards in the exact sequence listed on your submission form, starting with Item #1 on top.

Place the stack between two cardboard dividers and secure it with 2–3 rubber bands. The bands should be tight enough to prevent shifting but loose enough to avoid damage.

Wrap the secured stack in packing materials and place it inside a new shipping box. Fill any empty spaces to prevent movement during transit.

Place the printed submission form inside the box. If you're shipping multiple submissions, keep each one bundled separately.

Use packing tape to seal all seams securely. Avoid painter’s tape, Scotch tape or reused tape.

Attach the tracking label ID from your confirmation page to the outside of the box. Use clear tape or a sticker label, ensuring that all barcodes are fully visible.

If this step is skipped or the label is applied incorrectly, it may result in order entry and processing delays.

Ship your package to the correct PSA destination. Secure your label directly onto the box—no label pouches.
