It really depends on the value of the card(s). However our most common option starts at only $17/ card for TCG/Pokémon and $19 a card for Sports/non TCG through PSA.

No. We do not grade any cards here. We are an authorized bulk submitter with PSA. We do offer a review service where a professional will look over your cards and determine if they are worth sending before they are sent off for grading.

To be able to provide the quickest and most competitive pricing on the market, we require customers to log their own cards. Logging your order also provides you a virtual “receipt” of your order. Our order entry process is very quick and easy and you will be guided the entire way. If your order does not have a card list or a CSV upload attached, we will charge an additional $2/card to log your order.
To create an order please visit nashcards.com/grade
No, we do not clean any cards here. In fact, we don’t pull out or touch your cards unless they are sent through the review service. Our review service includes a pre-review and wipe down of each card before sending off.

This is a very complex topic but the brief answer is to do a little research.
For example: If a card sells for $10 raw and you put $20 into grading it with PSA, you want to make sure the card will now be worth at least more than $30 based off its overall condition and anticipated grade. Some cards in Gem Mint 10 condition sell for less than the grading fee.
Not sure if your cards are worth grading or which ones to send? Check out our Review service where we will help determine that for you. Please visit nashcards.com/grade/review
To continue to provide the fastest and most competitive pricing on the market, we prefer customers to log their own cards. If you do not provide a card list by logging on site or CSV upload, we will charge an additional $2/card as it takes us longer and delays orders.
No. Due to liability reasons, we do not crack out customer’s cards. We recommend searching for a video on YouTube on how to safely remove a card from a sonically sealed slab.
It depends on the service level. Please find current turnaround times below:
For current pricing, please check nashcards.com/grade
*Turnaround Times are estimates by the grading company (in business days) and are not guaranteed. These estimates are based on current volume, demand, and capacity. Times may change rapidly without notice and Day 1 starts when the company receives and checks in your order.
We ship cards to PSA every day. From the time your cards are received, they will be sent to PSA no later than 5 business days depending on the current demand.
Once our team receives your order, we’ll upload your CSV in our system and they will then be reflected in your account so you can see. If you uploaded the CSV, we have your list, it just won’t show up until we receive your cards and upload them into your order(s).
For PSA:
After you create your order on our site, it is important that your cards are mailed to us in the same order they were logged. After we receive your cards, we log them into a larger sub along with other customers’ cards. Upon completion, PSA will return the cards to us in order by certification number. We are then able to identify which customer’s cards are who’s by PSA’s certification numbers.
What is Max Insured Value?
It’s the highest compensation you can receive for a damaged or lost collectible. You must elect for insurance to be able to recoup any payment on a card received by Nashcards.
This box is found when you are logging cards that contain any additional details (i.e. Gold Refractor, Prizm Silver, Auto, Variation, Downtown, Serial #’d, etc.) or any specific attributes other than a base card. If you have a standard base card such as a 1960 Topps Mantle, you can leave that box blank.
Yes. There is no minimum value needed to submit in a specific service level. However you cannot submit cards with a max insured value greater than the MIV threshold on each service level.
Yes. You will receive an automated emails or text alerts when:
- Your grading order is created
- Nashcards receives your cards
- Nashcards sends your cards to the grading company
- The grading company receives your cards
- Your grades have “popped” and your order is complete (payment is due here)
- Non-Locals: Nashcards ships your order
- Locals: When your cards are ready for pickup.
UPDATE 6/7/21:
PSA: Either clean toploaders or card savers are acceptable. Anything else or with tape etc, Nashcards charges $.50/card.
It does not matter the brand, but we recommend the larger Card Saver 1’s. PSA will accept any card saver size or brand.
PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY TAPE OR STICKERS ONTO CARD SAVERS OR TOPLOADERS! If you do not have the card in card savers, we charge an additional $0.50/card to swap them out.
For never, chrome-style, modern cards please make sure the card is in a sleeve first then inside the card saver. For older/vintage cards, it’s fine to place them directly into the card saver with no penny sleeve. Up to you.
You are only charged the service fee and return shipping (if applicable).
Additional fees: Price:
Review passes/kicks logged $4.00 per card
Review passes/kicks non logged $5.00 per card
Cards are not received in card savers* $0.50 per card
Cards are received in individual team bags** $0.50 per card
Card savers/top loaders are taped** $0.50 per card
Card list has not been added to order $2.00 per card
Return shipping insurance to you Depends on $ value of order
PSA upcharge PSA Discretion
*These fees are waived for review orders
**Cards received that are taped and/or in individual team bags severely slow down the process
If PSA deems that your DV is understated, your card receives a higher grade than anticipated, or you submitted high-dollar items into lower-dollar service levels, they reserve the right to upcharge any applicable cards to fit the appropriate service level based upon its newly graded value. This is a PSA upcharge not a Nashcards upcharge.

This is up to you, but typically Signature confirmation isn’t needed as we are a PO Box. This will add at least a day for Nashcards to receive your cards, process them and send them off to PSA.
If you send us your cards and the grading company changes their prices while your cards are in transit or waiting to be logged by Nashcards, we won’t submit your order until we reach out and you are notified of the updated pricing.
Our official policy states that pricing reflected is a quote at the time of order creation. In the event of a price increase before your cards are logged to the grading company by Nashcards, you will be contacted and informed of the new pricing. If you do not wish to proceed, you are welcome to pay to have your cards shipped back to you.
You can add our review service to any service level we offer. We also offer a “Best Option” where we’ll select the best service level for you! Check out: nashcards.com/grade/review

No. This will severely slow down your order. We are required to remove every card that has tape and every team bag before we can submit to PSA. You can put 5-10 cards not taped in 1 team bag or can tape your entire order together, but please do not tape each card individually or put your entire order in individual team bags.
Please note: We are now charging $0.50/card that has been individually taped or team bagged.
