PSA shipping and packaging

austinchau

Hi guys,

I am about to ship my cards out to PSA for grading. How do you guys usually package the cards to ensure sufficient protection? And what shipping service/method do you use? also any additional advices from your experience are welcome, especially on how to prevent mixed-up or confusion with notes or marking perhaps.

THanks,
Austin

I usually use an old shoe box and I bind the card that I want to send in with a rubber band. This keeps the cards from getting loose in the shoe box when they are in transit. Card savers and penny sleeves just add time which takes away from me sitting on my tush on the couch eating bon bonds. I then usually just stick a stamp to the outside of one of the cards bound by a rubber band. After that I attach a note with staple or glue and I throw the bricks of cards right into the mailbox. Make sure you also fill in your return information on one of the cards or PSA won't be able to mail them back to you when they get them. If it’s raining out I would think about getting some rain-x or scotch guard first to spray the cards down in case they come in contact with water. Hope this helps you should check out this link. It goes into greater detail on how to package and ship your cards.
