How do I package my cards for a PSA submission?
- Protect each individual card with a fully transparent Penny Sleeve (standard size). Do not use perfect-fit or precise-fit sleeves, and avoid colored or patterned sleeves.
- Place each card into a Semi-Rigid Card Holder or Card Saver sized 3 5/16″ × 4 7/8″. Make sure both sides of the card are clearly visible. Do not use smaller Semi-Rigid Card Holders or Card Savers, Toploaders, tape, pull tabs, or sticky notes.
- Arrange your cards in the order listed on the completed grading form. If you are using multiple grading forms, please create separate card stacks for each form to facilitate processing.
- Place each stack between two suitable pieces of cardboard, secure it with 2–3 snug (but not overly tight) rubber bands, and then wrap the stack in bubble wrap.
- Pack the stacks together with the printed grading forms in a suitable shipping box and either drop it off at the Cardmaniac Store or send the package to the address provided.
Cards that do not comply with the packaging guidelines will be subject to an additional packaging fee of CHF 1.00 per card. Processing delays may also occur in such cases.
