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, PSA reserves the right to adjust to a higher service level if a card’s Declared Value is inaccurately estimated.

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. If you're interested in selling, buyers generally 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 better protect and memorialize your favorite cards.
Skybox Collectibles offers an all-inclusive PSA submission service so you don't have to worry about:
There are 4 categories on which PSA evaluates your cards:
The closer your card is to perfect across these categories, the more likely it will score a high grade. We're happy to take a look at your card, but please understand that we aren't PSA graders and can't guarantee what grade your card will get.
Currently, we do not offer those services. We will submit 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 can take longer. However, PSA does keep us updated on our submissions. You can check the status of your cards 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.
We currently do not do 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.
This is completed using a card repair/cleaning kit. Soft gloves are worn, microfiber cloth and cleaning spray is used. Can make adjustments on dents/bends/creases and structural damage. Will not make any adjustments that do not seem possible or have a chance of damaging the card
Yes, whenever there is movement in the grading process, your cards will be updated in our submission tracking spreadsheet.
You can find the price per card on our submission form, there are also additional services you can add on. There is a possibility that PSA upcharges your order based on the declared value being higher.

We plan on shipping cards out to PSA on a weekly basis.
Payment must be completed upon initial submission of cards. Our 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 value of the item 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 it has the best chance of being graded at. Essentially, your DV acts as your insurance value on your card in the event that PSA were to damage the card in the grading 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 cards. 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 grade a card including verifying authenticity, increasing the value, or simply protecting a card in your collection. If you are wondering if grading the card will increase its value, we recommend comparing sold prices on eBay between raw cards and the range of grades you believe your card may receive. 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 as well as using 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 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 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 do accept trade-ins for cash or store credit, but be mindful that we may not accept every card that you would like to sell.
We will open a claim with our shipping carrier and/or PSA for any damaged/lost cards. For grade discrepancy, we do not handle that on our end.
PSA’s website has a section called “No Grade Definitions” that will explain in detail what those grades mean. PSA Grading Standards
