Common questions

Quick answers before you submit

How should I package and post my cards?

Use penny sleeves and top loaders for raw cards. Confirm current packaging, postage and insurance instructions with GetGraded before sending; approved shipping terms have not been supplied here.

Do you charge more for high-value cards?

Check the current service price list for the price of your selected tier and options. Any value-based fees or declarations should be confirmed with GetGraded before submitting.

What's the difference between Standard and Express?

The published estimates are 15–20 business days for Standard and 2–5 business days for Express. These are service turnaround estimates, not postage or delivery promises. Confirm included service features and shipping terms before submitting.

Can I drop cards off in person?

Drop-off and walk-in services vary by location. Check the store locator and confirm with the location before visiting.

What happens if my card is damaged?

The approved damage-report example and full damage-handling policy have not been supplied. Contact GetGraded for case-specific guidance.

How do I verify a graded card?

Each graded card is registered to our public certification database. Use the Certificate Lookup page and enter the certificate number on the label.

Can I re-holder an old GetGraded slab?

Yes — the Re Holder service is for damaged GetGraded slabs or to relabel an old label with the current design. It is only available for GetGraded cards, not cards graded by other services.
