Does PSA grade booklet cards?

tyweb1

I am wondering if anyone knows if PSA will grade booklet cards like the National treasures type cards that open. I will contact them tomorrow but I am just curious. I think they would display nicely in a tall boy or supersize holder.

Thanks

Don't think so cause Psa told me there is no way to see inside the folds one slabbed

If this is true, this is stupid. Slab it open like bgs;

Interesting Russell card!

They will grade booklets that don't have extra pages, so if you can see it when it is folded open flat, they will grade it. Otherwise, you have to send them to SGC for grading instead.



Here is an example of booklets with multiple pages that are graded by SGC.



PSA will not grade these 1971 hockey booklet inserts.



Here is an example of the sort of booklets PSA will grade.

See what PSA has to say. My guess is that PSA won't holder the booklet cards because they are too thick for the supersize holder. And the booklet card would be too big for the tall boy and standard size holder. I think only the standard size holder is available for thick, game used cards like this.

Well it turns out that PSA will not grade the booklet cards at this time. They said they don't have a holder for them. I suggested a tall boy or supersize holder but they said no. I think I may just email Joe Orlando and see what he says. They look so nice in that BGS holder. I will keep you posted if/when I get a response.

The only comparable item is the 67 punchouts that PSA does grade so I don't think thickness is an issue since those punchouts are the same thickness roughly.

Anyone know if there has been any change in PSA’s ability to grade booklet cards since this old thread?

Well I know that the Jimmy Garoppolo rookie set contains the booklet card so I imagine that they do. They probably use the super sized ticket holder.

Their larger holders aren’t thick enough for most booklet cards. Beckett is the choice for most of these.

Beautiful booklet!

Why does PSA not have an equivalent after all this time? They can figure out how to encapsulate Funko Pops, but they can't get a slightly thicker holder that will fit booklet cards? Disappointing.

Agreed, great point about Funkos. And thanks!
