Frequently Asked Questions
How long does PSA grading take?
PSA turnaround times vary by service tier: Value ($20/card) takes 90-150 days, Regular ($50) takes 65-90 days, Express ($100) takes 20-30 days, Super Express ($150) takes 5-10 days, and Walk-Through ($300) takes 1-3 days. Times are estimates and can fluctuate based on submission volume.
Is it worth grading a card?
Grading is worth it when the price difference between raw and graded is significantly more than the grading cost. For example, if a raw card is worth $50 and a PSA 10 is worth $200, spending $20-$50 on grading makes sense. Use our Grading ROI Calculator to check specific cards before submitting.
Which grading company should I use?
PSA is the most recognized and commands the highest premiums, especially for vintage and sports cards. BGS/Beckett is preferred for modern cards and offers subgrades. CGC is growing in popularity with competitive pricing. SGC is popular for vintage cards and has fast turnaround. The best choice depends on your card type and target buyer.
How do I track my grading submission status?
Each grading company has its own online tracking system: PSA has Order Status Tracker, BGS has My Submissions, CGC has My CGC, and SGC has their online portal. This CardVault tracker lets you consolidate all your submissions from every company in one place with cost tracking and ROI analysis.
What percentage of cards get a PSA 10?
The PSA 10 rate varies significantly by card type and era. Modern cards (2020+) from sealed packs have roughly a 20-30% chance of getting a PSA 10. Vintage cards (pre-1980) have much lower gem rates, often under 5%. Print quality, centering, and handling all affect the likelihood. Our Centering Calculator can help you pre-screen centering before submitting.
