How to Submit Card(s) for Grading?

  • STEP 1: Fill submission form

    We will need to collect your basic information. You do not need to list out each individual card. Please fill this fillable form.

  • STEP 2: Bundle cards into groups based on grading service

    See the image above for available services.

    If you would like us to assess your card and recommend a service, please write “Recommend Service”

    If card has an autograph, note whether you want autograph grade

    Whether you want our complimentary card cleaning (wipe-down) service

    Note that you do not need to provide details on each individual card.

    Please indicate which service you want for each group of cards, or if you would like a recommendation instead. If it is not clear as to what service, auto-grade, or cleaning a card needs, your grading submission may be delayed as we will have to contact you.

  • STEP 3: Safely package your cards

    You can use any holders you wish but we recommend toploaders, one-touch, or semi-rigids to protect your cards from getting damaged during transport.

    We will supply the appropriate holders for grading when we send them off to the grader.

  • STEP 4: Deliver the cards to us

    There are 3 options you can use to deliver your cards to us

    Schedule an in-person appointment via email: cardboard.boxbreaks@gmail.com

    Mail the cards to us. Please pack your cards securely to prevent damage in transit. There will be return shipping costs if you wish to have your cards sent back via mail.

    PO Box 44204

  • STEP 5: Keep an eye on your email

    We will contact you via email if there are any problems with your submission

    Once your cards are ready to be sent off to the grader, we will send you an email with scans of the cards ready to be sent off.

  • STEP 6: Invoice

    We will send an email with an invoice for all the grading services. If you requested recommendations for services, we will invoice you according to our recommendations.

    The invoice will also list which card is to be sent with which service. If you need any adjustments, please let us know and we will send you an updated invoice.

  • STEP 7: Payment

    Once you have had a chance to go over the invoice, please send us payment. Payments can be made with EMT (preferred) or PayPal.

  • STEP 8: Grading

    Your cards will be sent off to the grader. We will update you via email throughout the grading process. We typically send updates when the cards are:

    sent off to the grader

    received by the grader

    are being graded by the grader

    finished being graded

    have been sent back to us

    have been scanned by us

  • STEP 9: Cards Returned

    Once all of your cards in your submission have been returned from the grader(s), they will be sorted and sent back all at once to you through the same person/method that was used to deliver to us.

    You will receive an email when your cards are ready to be returned. If you need to make any alternative arrangements, please let us know.
