FAQ

• Tell me more about the encapsulation of my trading cards.

  Every card graded by PSA is encapsulated in our tamper-evident, sonically sealed, high-security capsule. These visually appealing, optical-grade, hard plastic holders provide a secure, firm fit that safeguards your card from pressure and most damage. Once encased, you can rest assured that your cards will remain intact, barring an extraordinary event such as flood or fire. The PSA storage capsule provides excellent long-term protection for your cards.

• How does the grading process work and how many graders see my card?

  When card grading submissions are received by PSA we organize them by their service level, assign an anonymous order number, and then they are placed in a queue to be graded. A minimum of 2 graders will grade each card. Some cards will require more graders for a variety of reasons. Cards are graded on a 10 point scale that is recognized industry-wide.
