Learn how to use the Ultra Pro PSA Grading Submission Kit to safely prepare and ship your trading cards for professional grading. Step-by-step instructions included.

Quick answer

Use the Ultra Pro PSA Grading Submission Kit to safely sleeve, secure, and ship your trading cards for PSA grading. The kit includes everything you need: a mailer, card sleeves, semi-rigid holders, a microfiber cloth, and card protectors.

Why use the Ultra Pro PSA Grading Kit?

The kit eliminates guesswork by providing materials specifically designed to meet PSA's packaging requirements. Each component protects cards from bending, scratching, or moisture during transit. A common mistake is using generic envelopes or sleeves that don't offer enough rigidity, which can result in rejected submissions or damaged cards.

Step-by-step submission process

Prepare your cards: Inspect each card for surface dust or debris. Gently wipe with the included microfiber cloth if needed. Avoid using any liquid or abrasive material. A clean card surface reduces the risk of grading deductions for surface wear.
Sleeve each card: Slide the card into an Easy Grip Card Sleeve with the open end facing up. Ensure the sleeve is fully sealed and the card sits flat. Do not use tape on the sleeve. Tape on sleeves can cause grading delays or rejections.
Insert into semi-rigid holder: Place the sleeved card into a Semi-Rigid Card Holder. Slide it in so the card is centered and the holder is not bent. Do not force a card that doesn't fit easily. A tight fit can damage the card edge; use a new holder if needed.
Pack the mailer: Place the filled semi-rigid holders inside the mailer. Add the ULTRO PRO X PSA Card Protectors on top and bottom for extra cushioning. Seal the mailer securely. Double-check that the mailer is not overstuffed—cards should not shift inside.
Ship and track: Affix the shipping label (provided by PSA after online submission) to the mailer. Use a trackable shipping service and keep the receipt. Do not use standard mail without tracking. Tracking protects your submission in case of loss or delay.
