Given the subjective nature of grading, Skybox Collectibles LLC cannot be held accountable for cards receiving a lower grade than expected. Occasionally, flaws may be missed or overlooked, though any noticeable issues will be noted. We do not guarantee any specific grade.
Please note that PSA reserves the right to adjust to a higher service level if a card’s Declared Value is inaccurately estimated.
For any and all inquiries about PSA card submissions, please email us at [email protected].
By submitting Skybox Collectibles LLC's PSA Submission Form, I confirm that I have read and understand the grading terms and conditions of Skybox Collectibles LLC. Furthermore, when placing a grading order with Skybox Collectibles LLC, the Owner agrees to adhere to PSA’s terms and conditions (Linked Below). The Owner agrees to cover all costs associated with grading their cards as outlined in the submission form. Additionally, PSA reserves the right to upcharge any cards they deem to exceed the Declared Value thresholds. The Owner agrees to pay for any upcharges levied at PSA’s discretion.
Skybox Collectibles LLC is not responsible for cards lost or damaged in transit from the Owner. Skybox Collectibles LLC will notify the Owner when cards return from grading via email. All payment for submissions must be completed up front. The Owner will have 30 days from the return date of their submission to pick up their graded cards. The Owner will be notified several times if they have not picked up their submission. If the Owner does not pick up their submission within 30 days of the return date of their submission, the Owner forfeits ownership of the cards, and they will be considered abandoned to Skybox Collectibles LLC to sell or dispose of as deemed appropriate.
Owner acknowledges their responsibility to pick up the cards after they have returned from grading. Although Skybox Collectibles LLC will review cards at selective submission levels for obvious flaws, we do not guarantee any minimum grade and will not provide any reimbursement for cards that grade lower than expected.
Grading is the submission of your cards to an authorized third party (such as PSA) to verify the
authenticity and quality of your cards, as well as encase them in a protective holder.
Filling out our PSA submission form is quick and generally worth it. If you regularly
shop trading card games and are interested in selling, buyers typically have more confidence in the authenticity of graded cards, and higher-graded cards usually sell for a higher price. If you're not interested in selling, grading still provides an opportunity to protect and memorialize your favorite cards better.
Skybox Collectibles offers an all-inclusive PSA card submission service, so you don't have to worry about:
There are four categories on which PSA evaluates your sports cards, Pokémon collectibles, and other TCG pieces:
It’s hard to predict the results of a PSA card submission accurately, but the closer your card is to perfection across these categories, the more likely it will score a high grade. We're happy to look at your card, but please understand that we aren't PSA graders and can't guarantee your card's grade.
Currently, we do not offer those services. You can only use our PSA submission form for regular-sized standard cards (Sports, Entertainment, and TCG).
Getting your cards graded is, unfortunately, not the fastest process. On average, it takes about 3 months to get graded cards back, and it can take longer. However, PSA does keep us updated on our submissions. You can check the status of your PSA card submission with our submission tracker. Please note that only the email associated with your submitted form will have access to this spreadsheet.
At the moment, we are only taking cards through in-store drop-off. Still, we recommend using card protector sleeves to keep your cards in top condition before grading.
We currently do not make submissions to BGS, CGC, SGC, or other grading card companies other than PSA.
The review is done by a grading professional; it entails using a centering tool, blacklight, a digital microscope, and lighting tools. The cards will be assessed for alterations/fakes, as well as any issues that would affect its grade, and results will be communicated to the customer to determine if they want to continue to grade the card.
We can provide this service once you’ve filled out the PSA submission form and brought the card to our store. This is completed using a card repair/cleaning kit. Soft gloves are worn, and a microfiber cloth and cleaning spray are used. We can make adjustments on dents/bends/creases and structural damage. We will not make any adjustments that do not seem possible or have a chance of damaging the card.
Yes, your cards will be updated in our submission tracking spreadsheet whenever there is movement in the grading process.
You can find the price per card on our submission form. There are also additional services you can add. There is a possibility that PSA will upcharge your order based on the higher declared value.
Yes, we currently only offer pick-up/drop-off at our physical store location in Norwalk, CT.
Credit card or cash. Any online payment form (Zelle, Cashapp, Venmo, Paypal) is subject to a 3% processing fee.
There is just the base PSA card submission fee, and if you add any additional services, those will be charged, as well. There is a $1 per card charge for any cards submitted that are not in a toploader or semi-rigid protector. PSA may also upcharge your order based on the declared value.
Yes, cards are insured going to and from PSA. All you need to do is fill out our simple PSA submission form.
The turn-around times start when your cards arrive at the PSA facility and are entered into PSA’s system.
Please fill out our submission form above before drop-off, or fill out a submission form in-store.
We plan on shipping cards out to PSA every week. At the moment, we are submitting value every month and soon on a bi-weekly basis. We ship out value plus bi-weekly. We ship out regularly and above weekly.
Payment must be completed upon initial submission of cards. Our PSA card submissions expert or a retail associate will ring you out through our point-of-sale system.
Due to potential liability reasons, we are not comfortable with cracking any existing slabs out of their holder. We suggest watching an informative video and trying it out on an inexpensive slab.
PSA defines the DV as “The Declared Value is your estimate of the graded card after it has been assigned a grade by PSA.” Since we do not know the grades until they are assigned by PSA, this is just an estimate as to what you think has the best chance of being graded.
Essentially, your DV acts as your insurance value on your card in the PSA submission process. PSA reserves the right to upcharge to a higher service level if they determine the DV to exceed the estimate.
You can submit your cards in either toploaders or semi-rigid card holders. Please remove any tape or team bags from the items before putting in a PSA grading submission. Any cards submitted without a toploader or semi-rigid are subject to a $1 per card charge.
At the moment, we do not offer this service.
There are many reasons to go for a PSA card submission, like verifying authenticity, increasing the value, or protecting a card in your collection. If you wonder whether a graded TCG card will increase its value, we recommend comparing sold prices on eBay between raw cards and the grades you believe your card may receive. Filling out a PSA submission form is also easy and takes just a few minutes.
We offer a $5.00 per card service for review where we will assess the potential grade of a card and let you know if we think it is a good idea to submit the card for grading. The review is subjective but comes from those who have experience in the industry and use tools to assess if there are any issues.
You will receive an email when your cards are ready for pickup. If we do not hear from you, we will send out another email and try other forms of contact.
Our PSA card submissions expert inputs your information into our personal card submission tracker and inputs any relevant, non-personal information into a submission tracking spreadsheet so you can stay updated. Your cards will be input into PSA’s submission form and organized securely. Your cards will be carefully packaged and shipped out to PSA’s grading facility once you’ve filled out the PSA submission form, and PSA will handle the rest.
When your cards are returned, they are organized and labeled securely, and we will notify you when they are available for pickup.
We accept trade-ins for cash or store credit, but be mindful that we may not accept every card you want to sell.
We will open a claim with our shipping carrier and/or PSA for any damaged/lost cards. We do not handle PSA submission grading discrepancies on our end.
PSA’s website has a section called “No Grade Definitions” that will explain in detail what those grades mean. Please review this here: PSA Grading Standards.
