PSA grading at shows: membership required?

bvc

Would I already have to be a member of PSA collector's club to get a card(s) graded by them on-site at a show, or does that not matter?

I think you can register with them right there.

let me re-phrase this: I have 1 card I'd like to get graded at the Shriners show. Do I have to be a member to get it graded?

I dont believe they will have the sealer at the show, so you will have to become a member

Good question, I would love to know too.

You do not have to be a member to do on-site grading with PSA. Of course, on-site means you pay a rather nice fee to have it graded, sealed and delivered back to you at the show.

Anything you submit and mail in... yes, you need to have a collector's club membership. At least, that is what I was told at a show last July when I first became a member []

Then again, you see the occasional special that says you don't have to be a member (honestly, not sure what that is about).

What about with the free grading coupons that come in the prominent cuts packs

Concur with this. I remember at the National two years ago paying $30 to learn that a 1980 Nolan Ryan was an 8 and $30 to learn that the most beautiful Molitor/Trammell that I had ever seen and had just pulled from a pack was EOT (measured it and sure enough it was small). Was bitter about that for a while but have gotten over it and have become more patient with my submissions.
