10 Items YOU NEED To Get PSA 10s! | PSA Submission Tutorial - New Online Submission Center

This is interesting. What about older cards, before 2000. I have a few that have perfect corners/edges, but some minor surface scrapes or dimples. Obviously a card from like 2016 and now will have a better chance of staying perfect, but do they take anything into consideration when it comes to older/more rare cards?

How do you prepare thicker cards for submission? RPAs, 130 Point Cards, etc.? Thanks

Psa is a scam. That wemby 1-1 is way more off Centered than that anthoyn Richardson. Psa will give crooked cards 10's. But knock you for something the human eye cant even see 😂

I cannot stress enough that you MUST use a loupe. I always see these videos from so many card collectors and it is baffling how common it is that people complain about the results but yet do not take the time to put their cards under the level of scrutiny that grading companies use or close to the same methods. You didn't check a single corner. More importantly, using the eye-test method to look for imperfections is the worst method. Use a loupe.

i’ve heard usps doesn’t do insurance on cards on the way to grading

What do we do if it's not showing on their site, and they're not responding to your I inquiry? I submitted them to their address and it shows delivered, then it vanished off the site and I'm seeing another card in its place.

Hey, you did a great job! I just noticed that they do not want tape over bar code on side of box. Thank You!

Super helpful video man thank you!

U need nicholas cage from national treasure movie to grade cards..if they get government documents to shine..these would be easy

That 🦓 Brady ended up gemming , nice .

Love the content!! Anyway you could post a link to the Magnifying/ Light you have. I’ve been needing to get one and I love how bright that light shines to clearly show the surface.

Thanks in advance!

Great video, Let me know what that CJ Stroud (1st card) grade came back as.

That's enough to hurt hurt's grade for sure 😁

I'm not sure I can agree with your approach, the first 5 cards are gradable and if you don't get them graded they won't be protected at their highest obtainable grade, I would consider sending your 8's to a lesser grading company that grades for much less than the top 5 graders...

I started using a digital microscope $30 Amazon, and Kurt’s Card Care…and clean / polish my cards…this has worked wonders with my grades

My question is what if you have a T-206 Ty Cobb Polar Bear in great shape I think it's a 7 the most I could get on Max declared value is 2,500. I guess there isnt any question but why isn't there higher declared values?

As far as wiping the cord off, I used microfiber before and it works pretty well, but I’ll tell you the best thing in the world, but you just have to be very careful is compressed air like duster from a distance. It works amazing. Second of all I don’t use a magnifying magnifying glass magnifying glass. I use a digital coin microscope for a coin, collectors or people who do a lot of soldering electronics and stuff I mean 20 bucks dude hook straight up to your laptop or your desktop or even your phone I mean really bright LEDs build into it or whatever actually I have an extra one just give it to you. You know you won’t go back to a magnifying glass once you use that two cents, but let me know if you want me to send you that microscope super super good investment like I said I’ll just give it to you. Keep up the good work.

Do you need to use a regular printer or can you use thermal

What happens if ou get several high valued cards but you can't afford psa interest!

how do you do with thick cards that don't fit cardsavers?

You mean to tell me psa. doesn't clean cards after they grade it??

So in case I missed it sorry, is declared value what a 10 goes for? Are you supposed to pay based on what it's worth when they are done? Or what they go for raw? What is declared value based on?

If you have a card valued in the $1,000 to $2000 range and you do see a flaw, would you submit it anyway?

I would all cards in one team bag, then use the cardboard to put on sides, wrap up team bag and just tape it over the top after sealing the team bag as well. It just makes it easier for grader to take out cards to grade.

So why wouldn’t you put $250 declared value on each order, cuz if they get a 10 and prices shoot up in the time it took for them to get to grading them and something happens, you could put $100 but say now it’s worth $200 and something happens to it, they only refund you $100

I pay less and dont deal with any of the hassle of packing by just going to my local card shop, hes a certified diamond dealer and I just pay 20 bucks.

Question I bought a PSA card on eBay. The question I have is how can I tell if it’s actually a legit PSA graded card ?

Only one item is really needed to get a PSA 10: be one of their preferred customers

Was the cost for all that 1k . It cost to submit?

Grading should have never been done on 1-10 scale. When this all started, the argument for it was that it was more about authentication, due to all the counterfeiting. The grading part should have been done like the old Beckett price guides.

"Grab some bubble uh, whatever this stuffs called"

found this code online and got $25 off my psa order. but think you have to be a new customer. TALON25

I just started looking close at my non-sports cards, I look at them with a large magnifying glass and use calipers to verify the centering, also once I'm satisfied with the centering I look at them with a loupe, and even with a loupe I still miss things. I also prefer TAG even though they're somewhat new at grading, I prefer consistency, while I think they're still tweaking their standards and it's not perfect system, a machine is not going to come to work having a bad day(lets hope not), or lack of sleep, or coming down from a night of partying ect. I might be way off and part of the minority this is just my opinion.

I just found a collection that was in the attic for almost 25 years. Have the entire Pokemon base set and apparently one card is worth $2,500 in PSA 10 but like $500 PSA 9. I don't know what option to choose at PSA to submit it because I don't actually know what grade it is or the true value...

25 dollars per card includes review and wipedown. So don't worry about cleaning your cards. Leave it to psa when you submit.

Psa has no minimum requirements. You can send anywhere from 1 to as many cards as you want.

Hope this helps

I found it incredibly helpful when handling cards in top loaders and sleeves. First and foremost, never punch the card out; this can cause it to bounce around and slide within the loader, whether you notice it or not. Also, pinching the loader to crack it open is a definite no-no.

To keep your cards in pristine condition, invest in the sleeves and loaders you intend to use until they need replacement. I recommend placing sticky tabs on the backs of the sleeves instead of the cards themselves. This allows you to pull the tab easily, ensuring a smooth removal of the card.

Through my decade of collecting, I've observed that the less you handle your cards or flip through binders, the better. Believe it or not, each time a binder is moved, it increases the chance of imperfections occurring.

Once you identify a card worth keeping, secure it away safely. Don’t worry about others’ opinions regarding your collection. Take pictures before stashing them away, and only remove and change their storage every few years, based on your storage methods.

If anyone needs additional tips or hacks, I’d be more than happy to share some useful tricks!
I do admire this channels dedication and hope this channels open to a variety of followers and

Does it matter if you send two of the exact same card in same package? Does hurt chances of both getting highest grade? Doesn't matter?

Btw they don’t ding points for little extra cardboard on edges or bending

What are the lights and lamp looking thing that are attached to your desk

so the card value you have to put on psa is it the raw price or the graded price??

@IFSportsCards, any chance there is a reveal for this big dog ~70 ish card submission?

If you add sign here tabs (with the arrows) or post-it sticky tabs (like the ones that are used for textbooks, you can stick them to the penny sleeve and the grader can pull the card out by the tab without having to manipulate the semi-rigid card holder or stick their fingers into the semi-rigid card holder...this lessens the chance of a grader catching a fingernail on the top of your card...also prevents any other kind of finger damage.

$1000 !!!
You BETTER hope you get some 10's!
