- Group cards by grader and service level; include a simple list for faster intake.
- Declared value affects insurance and service tiers; we can help you set a reasonable number.
FAQ

Do you pre-screen?
We’ll help identify obvious issues and advise on expected ranges, but final grades are determined by the grading company.
What is declared value?
It’s your best estimate of a card’s value after grading. It sets tier eligibility and insurance limits.
Can I insure return shipping?
Yes—let us know your preferred amount. Additional fees may apply based on the carrier and value.
How do I pay?
Fees are collected at drop-off; surcharges or upcharges (if any) are settled at pick-up.
