PSA on site/walkthrough grading?

Does psa only do on site grading/walkthroughs at shows? Also it seems not all shows do that.

I see they have offices in New Jersey and California. I’m guessing those offices don’t accept walkthrough submissions?

I tried finding out online but getting mixed signals and links that don’t work.

Any info or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, no. Walkthrough refers to a grading speed, not the physical action of dropping off cards and picking them up later. PSA suggests that this could be arranged on a case-by-case basis for high-value items or high-volume submissions.

Q: Where and how can I submit my collectibles?

A: Once you are ready to submit your items, you must fill out a submission form via the Online Submission Center. Once completed, you will mail in the item(s) with your form(s) directly to PSA. To determine the appropriate shipping address, please refer to “Step 4” of the Submission Center. Keep in mind that if you are a Collector’s Club member, you will have access to our Collectors Club Value Pricing (listed under our Pricing Schedule for PSA Services) and Quarterly Grading Specials (listed on our Collector Club Specialspage). If you are not a member, you can read more about joining the Collector’s Club here.

You also have the option of submitting your items to us at a trade show, where we will have a booth set up to accept submissions. The Show Schedule, which is always available online, is regularly updated and also lists the services we will be performing at each event.

If you would like to drop off your items at one of our offices, this can be arranged. However, please know that we only accept submissions at our Woodbridge, NJ, office by appointment only and on a limited, case-by-case basis for high-value items and high-volume submissions at our Southern California location. If you would like to set up an appointment, please visit https://www.psacard.com/newjerseyoffice or call Customer Service at (800) 325-1121 for further assistance.

Please be advised that if your item fails to pass our process, you will still be responsible for the charges. Additionally, prior to submitting items to PSA for encapsulation, we recommend you check here for the most up-to-date list of items that PSA grades and our available holder sizes.

Thank you! At least there is a phone number I can call and see if anything can be arraigned

Unless you have something valued $10,000+, I doubt that they would be open to arranging a drop off. What are you looking to send in?

I just want to see if my shadowless Charizard can be reviewed to go up half a grade or a full grade.

It’s is not with 10k lol

PSA’s card review is a waste of time and money.

If you think that the card is a PSA 8.5 or PSA 9, then I would recommend cracking it out and sending it in raw.

Why do you say that? They rarely reassign a new grade?

just send USPS PWE, should be fine

Pwe?

That’s correct. They rarely assign a new grade. You’re paying them to say “Yep, we graded it right.”

It’s a joke. PWE means plain white envelope usually with just a stamp to ship. It’s used for cheap raw cards.
