For sure! The PSA Pregrading Scans is a must too! If you have all the video and photo evidence it will be difficult to argue against your case. A must in today's age.
nailed it, the kit is interesting, will have to check that out and good tip on the picures, that was new to me and after hearing what happened to broly with PSA the other day i'll def be doing that moving forward instead of just taking my own pictures before hand. I know some people will wipe off the cards (very gently) with a micro fiber cloth to get rid of fingerprints too, but I know you don't (neither do it) finger up the cards tho, pack to sleeve lol
I appreciate the video, Poké Stocked! I know that I plan on sending multiple cards. Question: Do people ever send only 1 card & how would they pack it? Thank you :)
Thanks for dropping by! Yes, people do send one card, but you have to send it in the Value tier. Most people still use card saver and have it sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard. I recommend placing it in a box as well. Most people do bulk so it saves on shipping costs.
@@danielxtapia9699 check out the grading companies how to on submissions as well. They don’t like top loaders because they literally cut cards out of the semi ridgid card savers to grade them. They do this so people can’t say they damaged their cards when they had to fish them out of top loaders.
Awesome breakdown! What about back centering? Like if front centering is PSA 10 worthy but the back is more off? Is there more leaniency on the back centering or is it still 60/40?
I would still go by 60/40. As long as all categories are good you got a shot at a 10. I noticed back centering is much more leinant than front, but it ultimately comes down to your grader. If either one are not 60/40, I would not send it in just to be safe.
Hi poke stocked! So I have a pikachu 173 from 151. It’s near perfect, falls under every centering guideline. But one corner on the back of my card has a little edge wear not noticeable without light. Is it still fine for psa10?
@@JulioPalacios1 you must buy your own label and ship to the address according to which shipping company you use. PSA will ship it back to you when done grading, and they will charge you for it.
@@PokeStockedok so let me get this straight. Since I’ve bought the service, I now have to buy a fedex shipping label and send it to 1610 E St. with paperwork and cards inside?
For me who's living in Europe (Sweden), what should I choose between FedEx or USPS? Or does that make automatically when the package entering US from EU?
I would probably use FedEX and ship to the FedEX location. Since FedEX ships world wide they will be the ones delivering your package. I am not sure if USPS would pick up an international package for delivery. It's probably a better bet to use FedEx.
Were searching a little bit, and we do indeed have FedEx in Sweden and can use that and not our official delivery company. Never graded any cards before so I am very passive and have no clue with the delivery papers and stuff. So gotta watch the video again when it's active for me to send any cards to PSA. Thanks for a very good informative video! :D@@PokeStocked
@@WingansK Hey, that's awesome! Appreciate the kind words! I advise you to read this article. It might be a better way since PSA sponsors it for Europe. www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/10801/psa-partners-dave-adam-s-open-submission-center-europe
but what if you send in a valued bulk with different values? e.g. a few cards only worth $200, but a few more worth $1000 or even $10,000? How do you choose the options on the PSA website?
You have to do separate submissions to cover the price. I did bulk and value for this round, but you could also do the other tiers such as express, etc.
This is where I'm caught up too. I have 20 vintage pokemon cards I want to send out but one of them is much more valuable. So just to be clear I should send the lower price ones in a bulk order and then do a separate order for the expensive one? Thank you very much for any info!
I totally agree with getting insurance on what you are sending thats a must imo
For sure! The PSA Pregrading Scans is a must too! If you have all the video and photo evidence it will be difficult to argue against your case. A must in today's age.
Awesome formative Information! All those 10s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 NO SHOT, WHAT A TRIPLE! 🐈⬛
Thanks man! I was super surprised as well!
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED! Great stuff!
Glad to hear it! I know you have been thinking about sending to PSA. Let me know of any questions you may have!

Thanks for the visit! Glad the video was helpful! Yeah I was never told about the scan downloads and thought that would be a huge help to include.
Really useful and informative!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Can you show me how to do taxes next ❤
#notfinancialadvice #notcertifiedCPA Haha
Subscribed! Very Informative out of all the the videos I've Watched! Can't wait for future content and I hope I get PSA 10s! :)
Thanks for the sub! Glad the video was helpful on your PSA submission.
Love the new Vids Fam!
Thanks man! This one took me a while to do. Glad you enjoyed it!

Card savers are placed in a machine that cuts it open so this isn’t even done by hand to minimize risk.
Question: Can I submit them in regular top loaders? Or is it better to use the semi rigid card holders you used?
Please do not use top loaders. Explained here. ☺

@@PokeStocked PSA allows 75/25 on the back to qualify for a 10 so they are very lenient when it comes to the back centering.
@@jjlin5271 Correct, but as stated before, I prefer to be more strict just in case. ☺
🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on the triple 10s! What value did you put them as when submitting to PSA?
Thank you! For PSA, the $1500 max value is appropriate.
Hi poke stocked! So I have a pikachu 173 from 151. It’s near perfect, falls under every centering guideline. But one corner on the back of my card has a little edge wear not noticeable without light. Is it still fine for psa10?
I can't say without seeing the card, but I've submitted cards with a little whitening on one corner and still got a 10.
@ you have a social media? I’m willing to send photos. Or maybe a email?
So how many labels attached to the box? Just the scanning barcode one?
Your shipping label (USPS or FedEX) and the PSA barcode label on the side.
@@PokeStocked do I also have to buy it for usps or fedex or is it provided? Thanks.

My submission forms are a bit different. They dont have the part to fill out the total number.
Interesting! Could be a recent change they implemented? Are you international?
No im in california.
It has qty 1 already printed out
@@oscarortega6781 I would say it's new then. Honestly, a better change. I always thought it was redundant since it is in your order.
@@oscarortega6781 Nice! Glad they added that. Just be good to always double check those numbers in case it is off.
Love you gotta 10 !!!! NO SHOT ! LOL
Yeah I was super nervous sending those in because the centering was not as ideal. But was so happy with the outcome!
How about the back of the cards with the centering tool?
Yes! You can do the same as well. Typically the front has the most variability/close calls, but the back usually is clear cut.
@@PokeStocked Thank you! :)

@@nickdingus2010 That is correct! Make sure to value them appropriately. Then you can combine both subs in one package shown at 26:04
@@PokeStocked thank you very much dude! New to grading and it's damn confusing.
@@nickdingus2010 No problem! That's what this video is for. 💪
Can you do a mail video pleeease 😂🎉❤
Haha. Too difficult to not doxx myself. I was going to with this submission but was too scared.
I can't submit through PSA because you don't offer it! ;)
Haha. Maybe soon. :)
