PSA Grading

PSA Grading for Sports Cards

PSA Grading is a professional grading service that evaluates the condition and authenticity of sports cards. As the industry leader, PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) offers a reliable, standardized scale to assess each card's quality, from corners and edges to surface and centering. A PSA-graded card not only provides collectors with a sense of security in the card's condition but also often enhances the card's value and desirability among buyers.

Why Choose PSA Grading?

1. Market Trust: PSA has built a reputation for reliability and consistency in the grading process, making it the most trusted grading service among collectors and investors.
2. Increased Card Value: PSA-graded cards often achieve higher sale prices due to their authentication and grading seal.
3. Protection and Preservation: Each card is secured in a tamper-evident, sealed case to protect it from damage and environmental factors.
4. Standardized Scale: PSA’s 1-10 grading scale provides a clear understanding of the card's condition, making it easier for buyers and sellers to agree on its quality and value.

PSA Grading Scale

• PSA 10 (Gem Mint): Perfectly sharp corners, no visible wear, flawless centering, and vibrant colors.
• PSA 9 (Mint): Almost perfect with only a slight flaw, like minor centering or tiny edge wear.
• PSA 8 (Near Mint-Mint): Very minor flaws, such as slight edge or corner wear.
