Prescreening Service

We offer an optional Pre-Screening Service.

Pass/Fail Pre-Screening - $3/card (only available for Value Bulk PSA, SGC, and CGC submissions)

Detailed Pre-Screening - $5/card (required when requesting screening for service levels higher than Value Bulk and available by request at any service level & for any grading company).

Our expert screeners screen for 9's and 10's, and "reject" cards determined to be 8 or lower.

(Note: This prescreening standard applies to ultra-modern cards. Any other cards, such as Vintage cards, are approved if they have potential value greater than the grading fee in their current condition.)

Our Pass/Fail screening does not include markups and details.

Our Detailed screening includes markups and details on why cards are rejected.

All screening services include pictures and email communication for rejected cards.

Rejects are returned to you in the same shipment as your graded cards (once they return from grading).

Our pre-screening service is an optional add-on to our grading services, not a replacement. Any cards approved for grading should be sent to SGC. If you would like your cards only pre-screened without grading, it will cost $10/card.
