PSA grading, Cards Hub handling and transport in both directions between Cards Hub and PSA are included. Cards Hub sleeve + Card Saver preparation is optional at €1.95 per selected card. Shipping from you to Cards Hub, return shipping to you, optional carrier insurance and separately approved PSA surcharges are additional.

These are PSA estimates from receipt and registration at PSA. Preparation, shipping and return checks take additional time. Estimates may change and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

Crossover, a card over €2,200 or something unusual?

Crossover is available on request. Cards in an existing slab, high-value cards, oversized cards and unusual items require a personalised review before payment. Use our dedicated contact form for all of these requests.

02 / YOUR SUBMISSION

Every card has its place.

Add one entry for each physical card, including identical copies. The details remain attached to the corresponding item in your Shopify order.

Handover & return

After payment, follow the handover instructions and include your order number. Use tracked shipping and retain photos of your cards and packaging.

The return selector represents one shipment for this submission. Final delivery uses DHL in Italy and FedEx outside Italy, with the available destination and rate shown at checkout. In-store collection adds no return-shipping charge.

Optional outbound carrier insurance

Optional insurance covers the Cards Hub → PSA outbound shipment by FedEx Express, within the stated values, limits and exclusions. The insured PSA → Cards Hub return is already included in grading. Neither cover extends to storage at Cards Hub or the final Cards Hub → customer shipment. A declared value is not a guaranteed payout.

Read the insurance terms ↗

Payment alone does not start the service. With your express early-start request, work may begin on physical receipt of the cards. Otherwise, work begins only after physical receipt and expiry of the applicable 14-day period from conclusion of the contract.

Privacy notice

From your list to your collection.

  1. List & pay

    Enter each card, select your services and complete the standard Shopify checkout. Your card list stays attached to the order.

  2. Deliver your cards

    Bring or send the cards with your order reference. Each card needs a sleeve + Card Saver, or the purchased Cards Hub preparation service. We record arrival and check the cards. Any authorised early start takes effect on physical receipt; receipt alone does not complete the grading service.

  3. Dispatch to PSA

    After intake checks, full payment and complete details, we prepare and ship to PSA by FedEx Express. Work starts after the applicable 14-day period from conclusion of the contract, unless you expressly request an earlier start on physical receipt.

  4. PSA grades

    We submit directly through our PSA account and relay available updates. PSA alone determines authenticity, eligibility and the final grades.

  5. Check & return

    We match returned cards and certification numbers to your order, then arrange collection or the return shipment you chose.

Ready for the journey.

Choose preparation separately for each card. If you prepare it yourself, each card must arrive inside a clean sleeve and Card Saver. Alternatively, purchase Cards Hub preparation at €1.95 for that card; we provide the sleeve and Card Saver. Keep cards in the order of your list and use a rigid, padded outer package with the order reference. Do not tape the card or sleeve; retain front/back photos. If a card arrives without the required protection and without purchased preparation, Cards Hub cancels the submission, without automatically adding fees. We arrange return and refund unperformed services under the terms. Contact us before sending thick or oversized cards.

Useful answers.

When will my cards leave for PSA?

We prepare and dispatch your cards by FedEx Express after physical receipt, checks, full payment and complete details. Without an express early-start request, we also wait until the applicable 14-day period from conclusion of the contract has expired. With that request, work may begin on physical receipt. Unresolved discrepancies must be cleared before dispatch.

When does the estimated grading time begin?

PSA estimates start when the submission is received and registered at PSA. Preparation, transport in both directions and return checks add time. Estimates may change and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

What does Dual grading include?

Dual grading is for a card and its autograph, with separate grades. The autograph and card must be eligible under PSA rules. Tell us about the signature in the card notes; unusual signatures, formats or items should be reviewed through the contact form first. A specific grade or acceptance is never guaranteed.

Can I submit an existing graded card?

Yes, crossover is available on request. Use the contact form and include the current grading company, certificate, grade and your requested minimum PSA grade. Do not add a slabbed card to the standard checkout form. We provide the applicable quote and crossover conditions before payment.

What if PSA changes the declared value?

The service limit is based on the expected value after grading. If PSA requests a higher level or an extra fee, we send you an itemised proposal and a Shopify checkout link for a separate draft order linked to your submission. We obtain your approval before accepting the charge with PSA. No extra amount is charged automatically. Any delay, return or necessary cost is handled under the service terms.

Are my cards insured throughout the process?

Insured PSA to Cards Hub return is included. Optional insurance for the FedEx Express outward shipment is separate and subject to its limits and exclusions. Store custody has no dedicated policy. For delivery to you, you can request optional Cards Hub return protection using the checkbox. If selected, you do not need to contact us again: after the cards return, we send a proposal with the proposed updated value, the cost of 3% and a Shopify checkout link for a separate draft order linked to your submission. Protection starts only after acceptance and payment, before carrier handover. The checkbox does not activate protection or charge you automatically. Use the grading form for questions or a later request. Statutory rights remain unaffected.

What if my card receives no numerical grade?

PSA decides authenticity and eligibility. Alteration, restoration, unsupported formats or other findings may result in no numerical grade or a return without encapsulation. The charges depend on the outcome and PSA rules; a disappointing grade alone does not make a performed grading service refundable. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Can I cancel or change my submission?

Use the dedicated grading form, choose Withdrawal and give your order number. For eligible consumer distance service contracts, you have 14 days from conclusion of the contract. Payment, receipt, registration and dispatch to PSA do not automatically extinguish that right. If you expressly requested early performance, a proportionate amount for work performed may be due. The right ends only after full performance with the legal requirements met. Refunds due are made within 14 days of your withdrawal communication. Other legally valid withdrawal communications remain effective.

What preparation is required for my cards?

Every card must arrive in a sleeve and Card Saver. If you prefer us to provide them, select Cards Hub preparation at €1.95 for that card before checkout. If a card arrives without the required protection and without purchased preparation, Cards Hub cancels the submission. We do not automatically charge preparation fees. We arrange the return and refund services that have not been performed according to the terms and applicable consumer rights.

Your direct line for PSA grading.

Use this dedicated form for all grading information, submission updates, quotes, return-protection requests and withdrawal. We do not handle ordinary grading requests sent directly by email, social media or WhatsApp. We reply to the email address entered here. Legally valid communications exercising statutory rights remain effective through other permitted channels.

Optional protection for your return shipment

For final delivery to you, you can request optional Cards Hub commercial protection using the checkbox in your submission. After grading and return to Cards Hub, we will send you a proposal with the agreed updated value, a cost of 3% and a payment link. Protection requires acceptance and separate payment before carrier handover. The checkbox does not activate or charge for protection. You do not need to contact us again if you already selected it. Use this form for questions or to request protection later. Statutory rights remain unchanged; the insured PSA → Cards Hub journey is already included in grading.

For a quote, include year, set, name, card number and estimated graded value. For crossover, add grading company, certificate, current grade and requested minimum PSA grade. For withdrawal, state clearly that you wish to withdraw and identify the order. Do not include payment details or identity documents.

This form does not take payment or subscribe you to marketing. Requests for changes, quotes or protection require our confirmation. A clear and valid withdrawal notice exercises your right without needing our approval.

Service, eligibility and outcome

Cards Hub organises direct submissions to PSA, manages intake and return checks, and communicates with you. PSA independently determines authenticity, eligibility and grades. No minimum or numerical grade, resale value or acceptance is guaranteed. Online purchase is for eligible raw standard-format cards within the chosen service limit. Crossover, values over €2,200 and unusual items require a separate quote. If intake reveals an incompatibility, we contact you to agree a suitable service or resolve the order before submitting.

Prices, payment and extras

Displayed prices are per card and include VAT, PSA grading, Cards Hub handling, FedEx Express transport to PSA and insured return from PSA to Cards Hub. Payment is due at checkout before submission. Sleeve + Card Saver preparation is optional at €1.95 for each selected card. Shipping from you to Cards Hub, final delivery to you, optional outbound insurance and separately approved PSA surcharges are additional. Launch prices apply only when displayed; Dual grading and Express have no launch promotion. We seek your express approval before accepting extra PSA charges.

Dispatch and turnaround

Work requires physical receipt, full payment, complete card details and resolved intake checks. It begins after expiry of the applicable 14-day withdrawal period from conclusion of the contract, unless you expressly request an earlier start on physical receipt. Cards are then prepared and sent to PSA by FedEx Express. PSA estimates begin at PSA receipt and registration; preparation, transit and return checks are additional, and no completion date is guaranteed.

Handling, return and insurance

Each card must be delivered in a sleeve and Card Saver unless Cards Hub preparation at €1.95 has been purchased for that card. Record the choice for every card and follow the outer-packing instructions. If any card is not compliant and preparation was not purchased, Cards Hub cancels the submission: no preparation fee is added automatically. We contact you to arrange the return and refund services not performed, applying only any return costs or lawfully due amounts stated in the accepted policies; mandatory rights are preserved.

Submit only cards you own or may lawfully submit. We record identity and visible condition and reconcile returned cards. Optional outbound insurance covers Cards Hub → PSA via FedEx Express, within its stated limits. Insured PSA → Cards Hub return is included. Neither covers store custody or final delivery; there is no dedicated custody policy. Final delivery uses DHL in Italy and FedEx abroad. You may request Cards Hub commercial return protection with the submission checkbox: 3% of the agreed updated value after grading. On return, we send the proposed protected value, cost and payment link. Selection does not activate protection or charge you; acceptance and separate payment must precede carrier handover. The accepted quote defines the protected value. Use the grading form for questions or later requests. Insurance limits do not exclude statutory liability. Report discrepancies and retain photographs and packaging.

Withdrawal, changes and cancellation

For eligible consumer distance service contracts, the statutory 14-day withdrawal period runs from conclusion of the contract. Payment does not start work by itself. You may separately and expressly request an early start on physical receipt; the checkbox is optional and never preselected. Receipt, registration or dispatch to PSA does not itself extinguish withdrawal rights. If you withdraw after work began at your express request, a proportionate amount for work performed may be due. The right ends after full performance only with the prior express consent and acknowledgement required by law.

Without an early-start request, work begins only after physical receipt and expiry of the applicable period. Submit withdrawal through the dedicated grading form, identifying your order and clearly stating your decision. Other legally valid communications remain effective. Refunds due are made within 14 days of the withdrawal communication, using the original payment method unless otherwise agreed without cost to you. Changes or retrieval after dispatch depend on the stage reached and applicable procedures; any lawful amounts due are explained, without automatic forfeiture or blanket penalties.
