PSA Grading Submission Steps
PSA Grading Submissions
01
Select Cards for Grading
Select your cards for grading that you feel are worth sending in. PSA looks for quality in four key areas of the card: surface, corners, edges, and centering.
02
Prepare Cards
Cards must be placed in a penny sleeve (no perfect fits) and a semi-rigid card holder. PSA recommends Card Saver 1s (link below). Cards must be placed in order of how you want them to appear in your submission
03
Fill Out Contact Form
Fill out the contact form below and submit it to blakestoisetcg@gmail.com. In the form, please list the cards in order of your submission, and agree to the conditions as outlined.
04
Arrange Local Pickup or Dropoff
Blakestoise does weekly pickups in Kelowna, daily pickups in Vernon, and accepts dropoffs any day of the week. We will reach out to coordinate a time once the contact form is recieved.
05
Be Patient
PSA submissions typically take 2-3 months, though it could be shorter or quicker, depending on how busy PSA is at the time. We will update you every step of the way, though there may be long gaps between updates.
06
Plan Pickup of Cards
As soon as the PSA submission has arrived back, we will reach out individually to coordinate pickup or delivery of your submission. Payment MUST be received before returning your cards.
Special Notes

PSA has damaged cards in the past - please take pictures before you submit your cards as this will help in the event a claims case needs to be opened.

PSA does upcharge if they deem the value of the newly graded card to be over $200 USD. This upcharge can range anywhere from $10 to $100. These are entirely done at random, and you will be required to be pay them along with the regular rates.

While we are partnering with KD Collectibles to ensure the quickest possible turnover time, PSA's processing time does vary and can change depending on their que. We aim to return your order in approximately 50 business days.
