Damn, that's just dirty in my opinion, they provide a service to grade, why charge more or less just because a card is worth more or not. That's just greed. I'll be looking into Beckett

I have alot of cards I would love to have graded. Its just scary thinking about sending them out and the hidden costs. this is very informative. Thanks!

I love these types of “how to” vids. Thanks Matt.

Thank you for posting videos like this.ive been following you when i first started and your videos always offer guidance. Thank you for being you

Awesome video. Love how you set this up and deliver the info. I just learned so much..thanks!

Yooooo Matt thank you for answering the most frequently asked question!! I wasn't sure what they would do or even how they do it...but now I got it!! Thanks for the information.

I remember calling and speaking to a PSA rep and they told me the same thing. They will contact you and tell you the card is valued higher and the cost of grading goes up. Great to see a video on this subject. Keep up the great work

From one Knoxville resident thank you sir, this is something I have been wondering about for a while.

Thank you so much,you have helped me tremendously!! Keep up the good vids and keep collecting!!

Thanks for this info! I was just browsing their price guide and your video answers all my questions. Take care!

If I was PSA and I was Grading your vid.. I’d give it a 10! I got all the info I needed.. Thnx Again!

Wats up matt...always puttin out interesting content, i gotta go back and rewatch ur updated psa submission know how🥂🤝

Great video. Thank you! This and your previous video are the best on youtube.

incredibly helpful fam, thank you for the detail. answered all of my questions 👊🏻

Thankkk youuuu for the break down, I’m about to sign up this week and send a bulk out

Just submitted to PSA for my 3rd month in a row! Slowly building up my collection so haven't had to submit anything over $500 declared value. Thanks for the video, good info!

This is really helpful, I get this question so often.

Thanks heaps buddy for all of your awesome work

Great video! This really shows how the potential added fees work. Crazy with how long a submission can take, really allows for some serious price/ fee changes. Thinking if I submit, I'ma have to make sure I'm prepared for the added fees.

Great video man, I was really unsure about this.

I don't know why they charge more for higher end value cards. A grading fee is a grading fee. Just another money grabbing scheme

GREAT video! Thank you! I’m on the verge on submitting cards to be graded, and still have a lot of questions. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Good video. Very informative. Thanks for publishing this one.

This was the biggest question on the submitting part iv had thanks bro!!!!!!

Getting back into cards thanks for posting super informative easy to digest videos

Piece of the pie, thats what it is,,, you nailed it Matt, no other way to see it...

Thanks Matty! This was big source of confusion for people. Thanks for clearing this up. Have a great Halloween mate.👍

Another great informational video!

Thanks. You probably just saved me a ton of money buy up- charging myself instead of forcing psa to do it.

Thanks Matt! Good info very helpful..

PSA max declared value has always been such a gray area. Thanks for the video man!

KEEP DROPPING VIDS LIKE THESE

Thank you for the video!

I think they should go off the value of the cards were at the time they sign for the package. I've been waiting 7 months for cards now that if 10s were selling around $100, now they are selling for $500 or more. Not really fair to upcharge for a momentarily spike in the market.

Hot damn this was SO helpful. Thank you!

Great video

great vid thank you for the info

Come on Matt! only a 12 minute video??? Was thrilled to see a new video from PSA COLLECTOR on my feed but sad to see it was only a short video :( lol

Ohhhhhhh so that’s how. I just used to look at eBay recently sold

New collector here! Looking to grade my first cards soon and this was SUPER helpful❤🤙🏼

very helpful. Thank u

Answered my questions

Thanks for the helpful information. I just submitted an ultra modern bulk and put all the cards at $199. I agree, if the card it’s worth more when it comes back, I wouldn’t mind paying. The same thing can happen vise versa. The card can jump down in value. I guess it depends on how long PSA takes to grade and ship back.

Thank you!!!

thanks for the information dude got some really old baseball cards and base set pokemon cards

Love watching the vid's my man! I just submitted 6 cards, one being a Montana RC and put $100 value ... yikes! ... hey, what screen capture are you using, love that picture in picture and want to do it on my videos

Thanks man

Interesting content. Thumbs up.

So I have a question, if I send in 20 cards and one of them got a PSA 10 and is worth $4,000. I have to send PSA $1000? I’m sooooo confused

Their pricing structure is what’s keeping me from submitting. $250+ is a large upswing from their base price.

One of my favorite hobbies is finding REALLY nice PSA9's and doing BGS crossover reviews with a 9.5 min. Since PSA has no 9.5, some of their 9's are way better than an average 9 and are at least BGS9.5 worthy. If the card doesn't meet min grade they only charge you $20. If it crosses, you only pay the service fee with no up charge. To me this is a GREAT deal and very fair. With PSA you not only pay the full service fee regardless of outcome, but you're also upcharged on the new value too. A BGS9.5 with great sub grades is basically a PSA10 in value. So you instantly make 2-4x your money. Plus $20 is low risk if it doesn't cross.

Another Great Video Hoping for more Ive been picking up some 🔥 lately need to Submit Ive also let go some things raw i shouldve got graded 1st oh well some of that money i bought more cards and a 600 lawn mower and other things. essentially using cards as cash themselves.

My first psa order is currently in the 7th stage of an express order, im so nervous/ excited to see my grades.. i sent a charizard holo xy evolutions and 2 topps derek jeter topps base .. i really really hope i get upcharged itll be my daughters to hold forever.. thanks for all thr tipps ive followed for just over a year now

good stuff

Very helpful info! Thank you. The only question I still have is what value do you enter on the form when you pretty much know it exceeds $199? Like you, I am fine with adding these cards to my bulk order and just paying the extra fee when/if they tell me too- just wondering if I enter $199 in the value field. thanks

Great video! I wish you would zoom in your psa submission, it was a little hard to see

How does psa KNOW that my card will sell for the declared value? There is no GUARANTEE that it will. Then the pressure falls on me to get the 'declared value' fee back plus make a profit. The only one in this whos absolutely GUARANTEED A PROFIT IS PSA.

I talked to a PSA person and they told me they hope to have the $20 service by January or so. The service is not gone - just suspended for now.

It's a little bit intimidating now...lol.. I should have known PSA was going to change up when they took away paying with money order.. lol.. all good..Great info...

Love the vids man really helpful for a first timer like my self 🔥 just a question if im sending from aus do I get insurance on my cards at the post office before i send over to CA ?

It's like going to a steakhouse, ordering the filet mignon for a hundred dollars, at the end of the meal, you get the bill for an additional $400! What's this!? Oh we made the steak special for you. But the cook, he cooked the steak on the same fire as all the others? Yes. Point is they have graded the card, that's what the initial charge is for. I think airfare and a hotel would be cheaper than paying all that insurance.

Really helpful! Is there a way to not get the grades before? Cause I wanna submit but don’t wanna know grades before hand. Thx keep up the great content

Hey Matt...great video. The O'Neal makes sense why they charged so much more. However, I heard you say "significantly higher." So let's say it would have graded a 7 and still been higher than the MDV, do you think they would have still tried to charge you that much more in insurance? Hope my question makes sense. I'm essentially asking if you think they would let certain things slide versus others.

I member chasing those beam teams and golds from 92 topps bball 🔥I also had about 50+ Shaq mcds rookies and mjs ect the workers would toss me extra packs cuz I'd bug them to when i ate at one down road from my house😂

Whatsup bro love the channel. I was just wondering if you thought a card would get a 9 so you put the declared value as a 9 would get, would that persuade the grader to give a 9 when it could of possibly gotten a 10?

How do you determine the value of a card which has no psa graded sales and/or serial numbered cards such as 1 of 1’s?

you live in TN, thats cool me too

At what stage does PSA contact you about the upcharge fee when declared value is much higher than what you originally put on submission? Just right after stage 4 (i.e., grading and authentication stages)?

Ever consider making a video on how to properly crack a case by a lesser grading company? Also, how often have you bought graded cards from other companies only to ship them off to PSA to get that value bump? To crack or just have them re-slabbed? $50 versus $12 (if doing bulk, which I know you do obvs). I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions. You can get graded 10 Jordans for about the same price as raw with some cards. I like the idea that ANY grading company gave it a 10 as it lessens the gamble slightly when buying from eBay. Some of those Jordans will jump to $200+ for a PSA 10 and still have good profit even if they come back at a 9. I'm testing the theory now and just got a handful of WCG 10's that look real nice condition. I am going to crack them as opposed to re-slabbing. The $50 price tag would kill the profit potential unless they came back a 10. Seems kind of no brainer but I am not the sharpest tool and am jumping on the train kind of late. I assume any edge I have found has been explored by someone with longer standing and a better knowledge base for sports cards. But I haven't seen anyone talking about this in depth as a strategy.

hello thanks for this vids there helpful. im looking into jordan stickers. but there seems to be alot of reprints of the 1st and 2nd year. do you know how to tell the difference between the reprints and the original ones? thanks

Two questions. 1. When determining max value, do you base that on whether it will grade at a psa 10 or not? So if i think its a 10 but it comes back a 9, will psa reduce the submission fee? 2. What happens if a card is valued at $1000 at time of submission but it goes down due to a market crash, say $200. Is the submission fee reduced? Thanks

Hi Matt! I have a question about grading that i hope you have the answer too! So in the item entry, if i have a card that doesn't pop up under the suggestions can i still have the card graded? So if i got lets say a Lebron James card, but the specific card that i got doesn't pop up as a suggestion for the grading can i still send it to psa to get graded? Hope it makes sense. Enjoying your content!

The worst case is that PSA is going to get tired of people submitting cards well over declared value as bulk and will just increase the prices, which is exactly what they did.

The only issue I have is with removal of economy at $20 for value through $499, if they deem your card word $350, I heard they are charging you the full $50 vs the $20. That is the only negative I see to their current pricing model.

Man I think everyone worried about 1-2 cards being up-charged for getting a 10 that sells for $250 when they send in and now is worth $5-600, has forgot to do the math on how litte $10-12 up charge is compared to their profit.

Hey Matt appreciate the video man I’m having trouble with the fourth step I seen your older video when you get to the fourth step you type in the name and then there’s an option on the right the one that says pick a grade and I see you leave that blank but then there’s the total value and I saw that you fill that part in so would I put 999 or would I put what I think the card is worth depending on what condition I think it is Based off of PSA pictures they have of different conditions and then go off of what it sold for on apr I’m trying to submit a Pokémon card and just one

How do I know what condition that I will think my cards in?

Imagine scooping up those Shaq's at

Should PSA use sold auctions from pwcc, probstien? Due to certain things that may be going on with them? At least account for inflated auctions.

What happens if the opposite occurs, that you believe it is an expensive card and coming in at a 10 and select the category best fitting for that price range, but then they grade it lower, thus the value is lower. Do they adjust that fee then too? Great video, thanx!

You're from TN??? Nice! Me too!

Hi Matt, i was wondering, if you submit a minimum of 20 cards on value modern..... and 1 of those flagged and came up expensive and falls under Max Declared 999 USD,..... and 19 cards are still below 199 USD as should be... is PSA gonna charge 50 for each of the 19 cards since i only have 19 cards now that falls under value modern? thank you

This is helpful, how do I price Lebron rookies? How do I know if it’s a 10 or 9? Should cards like that not be sent in bulk?

I bought a 1988 fleer John Stockton PSA 9 OC for 48.00 including taxes and shipping. The card is off centered . Do you think that is a bad deal @PSA Collector?

Great video man! This was great! Question: Is there a way to pickup our order from PSA and avoid the insurance payment? Cause if its $10-$20 per card, plus shipping, and to insure the card on the way back, it makes me think about submitting cause it cuts into profit margins.

I have a few cards that are grading candidates but a couple have a tiny bit of extra card stock in the bottom right corner. Assuming it’s from when they were cut. Are my assumptions correct that this would affect the overall grade in your opinion?

I bought a 1988 23k babe ruth stamp. does psa grade these too? just starting with you guys, love your videos man.

What If I go drop off the cards personally and pick them up. Would I still have to pay the declared value?

I don't see a bulk submit option (20 cars min) on my screen. would you please explain? thanks

When it says 20 card minimum if I have 15 after 2017 and 15 before 2017 I want to grade can I not grade them?

one quick question: i have few PSA10 cards and im thinking to send them to PSA to grade the auto. how can i submit it? does PSA need to regrade the card again or simply PSA can just grade the auto ? how much does it cost?

The service level pricing isnt just because of more insurance as you state. It doesn't cost anywhere close to $2000 to insure a $25000 card. The service level pricing is a way to generate more revenue for PSA

What I would say is that if you don't need the card back quickly, use the least expensive option (bulk if you have Silver subscription and enough cards to send at the same time). Do you know what is the turnaround time for bulk at the moment? I guess that it must be close to a year.

I'm trying to submit some sealed packs for grading. I have 6 that are at 500 estimated value or less and 2 that are at 1000 or more. Is it possible to submit all 8 together on the same ticket or do I have to do 2 separate orders since they don't fall under the same category?

Thanks on all the information great help, new sub and I love the video

How much is a regular base topps Shaq rookie going for in PSA 10? I got 2 of those In raw ungraded great condition right now

If I already printed out the slips but didn’t ship yet. Can I go back in a change my order? Or will it double charge me

what if you send in a card and you overestimate the value/max declared value, and they say its worth less, do they adjust the price down? or do they just keep your money because you over estimated?

How do you find a value on a 1/1 card?? I have a 1/1 gold label trea turner rookie but dont know what it would be worth

Hi, what if the value I submitted is higher than PSA graded, do we get charge in lower rate?
