PSA Card Grading and Authentication Service--Question

I am thinking about sending in some vintage autographed cards to get the autographs authenticated at the $20 per card rate (cards will come back with the red flips I believe), such as a 1969 Topps Mickey Mantle, a 1933 Goudey Carl Hubbell, etc.

I also have some of the dual and tri cards from some of the 50s and 60s Topps sets that are autographed by everyone on the card (i.e. a 1958 Topps Al Kaline and Harvey Kuenn signed by both). Does anyone know if the rate for cards signed by more than one player is still $20, or is it $20 per signature on the card? Any info would be appeciated.

    Hi Tony,

    Here's a LINK that should answer your question.

    I think I'm talking about something different. On the PSA Card fee schedule, you can get any autographed card, regardless of the player, done for $20 if you value it less than $500, so my question was if that service is a flat fee for any number of signatures or not.

    Hi Tony,

    I'm not sure about the multiple sigs as I've never used that service for such.

    Are the cards in question, pre-1998 by any chance?

    If so, PSA does not grade autographed cards dated earlier than 1998 (must first be authenticated by PSA/DNA).

    You can call 1-800-325-1121 to be sure about price.

    There is that $20 per card service that in the FAQ says:

    Q: Which autographed cards are required to be sent in using the Autographed Card Grading & Authentication Service?
    A: This service level is for autographed cards dated pre-1998 and/or those not directly from the manufacturer must be submitted through Autographed Card Grading and Authentication Service (fee may vary depending on card value). Autographed cards directly from the manufacturer from 1998 to present may be submitted through the other service levels depending on value.


    Which kind of leads me to believe that it is a flat fee. I was just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head. I'll probably end up calling later today, I'll post the answer for everyone else's edification if I get one.

    Unfortunately, it says nothing about multi-signed cards.
    Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.

    PSA does graded them and you can get a red flip...

    AUTOGR. CARD GRADING & AUTHENTICATION $20
    (Select One)

    With Grade
    No Grade (No grade is assigned but autograph and card is authenticated and encapsulated)
    Any autographed card with a declared value under $500. Autographed cards with a declared value over $500 must be submitted under higher service levels. Declared value rules apply.
    ESTIMATED Turnaround: 20 Business Days*

    Submit other autographed items such as cuts, unlicensed cards, etc. on a PSA/DNA submission form.
    As long as the card is a licensed card (Topps) and under $500 you can sub it for $20


    I'm not sure about the multiple sig, you'll probably have to call on that one.
