Declared value

Does declared value impact the grade? Is the declared value for insurance only? How do you determine Declared value on your submissions?

Strictly for insurance purposes, it has no affect on grade, though if there's a monthly special for cards valued up to $100 you won't be able to sub a '54 Aaron RC and declare its value to be $100.

cumulative value of the order is typically the cumulative value i paid for the cards, but does not exceed $100 per item.

There is no real answer. Supposed to be for insurance purposes only. This has been discussed a million times with no for certain answer. My gut tells me that if you send in an expensive card on a 100 and under sub....it will be held against you.

I've had 1K cards graded Gem Mint 10 that I declared $2 on, so I know the graders aren't influenced at all by how much you put down, nor do I think they even know what you put down.

I would think PSA gives a little leeway on some of the declared values. Honestly, its hard to say what the declared value is on some cards. 1981 Topps Nolan Ryan...if its a 9 its under the $100, if its a 10 its over

Insurance value only.
I don't think they use DV to screen orders. I doubt they'd kick back an order that has a '54 Aaron on it listed with a low decl value to fit a cheaper special (as long as it fits in the special's years), since the grade has yet to be determined.
