Ticket collecting is gaining in popularity as collectors realize that tickets represent tangible artifacts from some of the greatest moments in sports and pop culture. You can preserve your ticket collection, and add much needed security, value and liquidity, with PSA certification.
PSA-graded tickets are placed in custom-designed, tamper-evident cases. These cases provide the most visually appealing form of safe, long-term storage. Plus, a ticket price guide is published monthly online in Sports Market Report.
Ready to have your tickets authenticated and graded by PSA?
PSA authenticates and grades full and stub tickets from all event types.
PSA graders review your tickets for authenticity. If genuine, PSA looks for evidence of alterations.
If your tickets pass these two steps, PSA experts grade the condition of each ticket on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being best. PSA labels tickets as "Authentic" when requested and when no grade is possible due to excessive wear.
After grading, PSA encapsulates each ticket in its own tamper-evident case. A label within the case displays the ticket’s pertinent information and unique certification number.
PSA encapsulates every ticket in a tamper-evident, sonically-sealed case. These attractive, hard plastic cases provide protection from pressure and most damage.
Once encased, you can rest assured that your tickets will remain secure from further wear. Note that the case will not protect your tickets from extraordinary events like fires and floods.
Tickets that are 6.25" x 8.25" up to 8.5" x 11" in size will require a Jumbo holder and incur an additional charge of $30. View PSA's current holder sizes to see all the holder sizes available.
