Send it in. We'll handle the rest.

No. We handle the submission on your behalf using our own account — you just hand over the cards and we take it from there.

Turnaround depends on the service level you choose — see the tables above for each company's current estimated turnaround time. Faster tiers cost more but return your cards in days instead of months. These are the grading companies' own estimates and can shift with submission volume.

Yes — sports cards, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, and other major trading card games are accepted by PSA, CGC, and BGS, subject to each company’s current eligibility requirements.

No. Grades are determined solely by PSA, CGC, or BGS based on their own standards, and card values are set by the market. We can't predict or guarantee a specific grade or resale value.

Grading fees are due in full when you drop off your cards. If the grading company determines a card exceeds the declared value limit of your selected service tier, they may assess an upcharge — that additional fee is your responsibility and must be paid before your cards are returned. You're responsible for providing an accurate declared value at submission.

Submit cards in penny sleeves and semi-rigid holders — Card Savers are preferred. If a card doesn't meet submission requirements, we may re-holder it for you.

Once a submission has shipped to the grading company, it cannot be modified or canceled.

We handle every submission with care. For PSA and CGC submissions: once cards have been shipped to the grading company or a carrier, we're not responsible for loss, damage, delays, grading outcomes, or carrier-related issues. For BGS submissions: if cards are lost while still in our facility, we will reimburse you for the full declared value of the ungraded card or, at our discretion, replace it. Once shipped to BGS, the same carrier liability terms apply.

BGS subgrades give your card four individual scores — centering, corners, edges, and surface — in addition to the overall grade. They're popular with collectors who want detailed condition breakdowns and can affect resale value on certain cards. If you just want the overall Beckett grade without the breakdown, the Base No Subgrades tier is the most affordable option.

By using our BGS submission service you agree to the following:

1. All grading fees must be paid in full at drop-off.
2. No specific grade outcome is guaranteed. Results are determined solely by BGS.
3. Turnaround times are BGS estimates and are subject to change.
4. You are responsible for providing an accurate declared value. If BGS assesses an upcharge for exceeding your tier's value limit, that fee is your responsibility and must be paid before cards are returned.
5. Cards should be submitted in penny sleeves and semi-rigid holders (Card Savers preferred). We may re-holder cards if needed.
6. Once a submission has shipped to BGS it cannot be modified or canceled.
7. If cards are lost while in our facility, we will reimburse the full declared value of the ungraded card or replace it at our discretion.
8. Once shipped to BGS, Monmouth Trading Cards is not liable for any loss, damage, delay, or grading outcome that occurs in transit or while in BGS's possession.
9. You will be notified upon return of your graded cards. We will make a minimum of three contact attempts.
10. If graded cards remain unclaimed for six months after we notify you of their arrival, we reserve the right to dispose of them at our discretion.

Yes — at drop-off you'll confirm that all grading fees are paid in full and that you've read the BGS terms above. If you have questions about payment before your visit, let us know and a team member will follow up with you.
