PSA does not insure inbound packages, but you can elect to purchase shipping insurance from third-party providers. You may add inbound coverage during the checkout process if you select FedEx Shipping. Max Insured Value coverage for each item begins when PSA confirms its arrival at our facility and continues until it reaches its next destination.

Some shipping insurance providers do not cover ungraded collectibles for their estimated appraisal value, while other providers such as Cabrella do. If you elect for inbound shipping insurance, be sure to check with your provider of choice to confirm if they offer this coverage.

No input needed—Max Insured Value is set by default according to your chosen service level.

The payout is based on the degree of damage or loss, and is limited to the lower of the item's fair market value or the Max Insured Value for your selected service level.

Higher Service levels offer coverage for more valuable items under a higher Maximum Insured Value. This increased coverage is reflected in higher shipping costs. New return shipping rates generally provide higher maximum coverage at no additional cost.

Your item will be serviced with no impact on its grade. If PSA determines, after grading, that your item’s value exceeds the Max Insured Value for your selected service level, PSA will upgrade the service level for that item (not your entire order). You’ll be notified of additional fees, and once those fees are paid, your item will be covered up to the higher Max Insured Value for the new service level.
