Authentication cost at PSA

I've been on PSA's website and can't seem to understand how to submit a card for authentication, and "if" indeed it's authentic, then get it graded. It looks like there's a charge for this even if it's a fake; is that true? The card I'm trying to grade is a STAR '84 Michael Jordan card #101. So do I assume they're going to charge me $200 even if it's fake?

Any help appreciated,
regards, mitch

    Yes, you are paying for their opinion.

    I am pretty sure PSA doesn't grade Star cards. They did briefly over 10 years ago.

    The reason I'm trying to do this is this card is upward of $600+ if genuine.... So who would grade it? Who "does" grade them?

    Beckett, only submit under BGS, not their BCCG service.

    How could I tell (myself) if this is one of the reprints of this card?

    Several websites go into detail on this. Backs are easy to differentiate usually based on several distinctions, but scammers are getting better. Post a pic in here for an immediate initial impression.
