THE PROCESS

PSA Grading with Game Addict Australia and PSA is a hassle-free process. There are a few steps that you need to follow to ensure you get your cards off to us safely and that you have all the information ready to go.

Once you have decided which cards to grade, follow the steps below.

STEP 1. DOWNLOAD A COPY OF THE GAME ADDICT SUBMISSION FORM

You will be required to complete the form  as best you can with the required information. It is an electronic editable pdf, so you can save a copy and continue at your own pace. You can also print and complete it by hand. 


STEP 2. EMAIL US A COPY OF YOUR FORM BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR CARDS. 

This will be a good time to let us know what type of cards you want to grade. It's great to have a copy on file if you forget to pack your completed form when sending us your cards.  


STEP 3. PREPARE THE CARDS FOR POSTAGE TO GAME ADDICT

Package your cards safely and send them off to our PO BOX. Feel free to send us a copy of the tracking number. 


STEP 4. GAME ADDICT, CONFIRM RECEIPT OF YOUR SUBMISSION 

Once the cards have arrived, you will receive an email from us letting you know the cards have arrived safely. Cards will be pre-scanned and logged into our database.


STEP 5. SIT BACK AND RELAX. WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE. 

You can track the progress of your submission by visiting the Submission Progress Page. 



HOW DO I PACKAGE MY CARDS?

Penny Sleeve and Top Load


Place your card into a new penny sleeve, then slowly insert the card into a top loader.If you have access to post-it tabs, you can secure one outside the penny sleeve. This prevents the risk of handling the cards during the transfer from the top loader to PSA Card Saver.

Secure, Stack, Secure Again!


The idea when posting your cards for grading is to prevent any shifting during transport. If you have more than one card, you can stack them together as pictured in images 2 and 3 above.

Box and Send


Once you have secured the cards, you can now proceed to place them in an envelope or box. Include a copy of your Game Addict Submission form. Single Cards can be sent in a Padded Bubble MailerMultiple cards should be sent in a padded box or similar that provides the cards with padding during transport.

Grading Terms and Conditions


Insurance *

While some grading companies do not offer any insurance during transit, Game Addict works hard to provide a form of cover for its customers. 

Game Addict ships cards to PSA using TNT Express (Fedex). Extended warranties are taken out for each consignment. 

While this does provide certain comfort, the extended warranties, there are still risks associated when shipping cards abroad. 

The Information supplied by TNT for the extended warranty:

We agree to deliver the goods to the location identified in the consignment note in the same condition that the goods were delivered to us. It covers freight from the time of pick-up to the time of delivery. If the goods are not delivered due to fire, collision, or overturning of the carrying vehicle only, we will pay the value of the goods, or if the goods are damaged, the reasonable cost of repair of the goods. 

Our liability to you is limited to the amount of the Extended Warranty elected on the consignment note.


Any loss or damage to the cards incurred outside of the above circumstances is NOT covered by the extended warranty. 

Game Addict will not be liable for any recovery. 


Declared Value

We require a value for each card to be noted on your submission form. This is the raw value for the card that will assist us with confirming the service level with PSA. As some values submitted by customers are not in line with replacement costs, Game Addict reserves the right to adjust the declared value for service levels and insurance purposes.


Pricing

PSA has the right to change pricing on all service levels offered. Game Addict does not have control pricing adjustments made by PSA. All cards currently sent to Game Addict for processing may change the pricing structure. Game Addict has the full right to adjust prices to reflect relevant PSA increases per service without formal notice. Customers will be notified of changes before cards are sent at the newly adjusted rates.  


Grading Errors from PSA

Unfortunately, we cannot control if an error is made by PSA when grading your card. In the event an error to the label has been made by PSA, please email us immediately so that we can raise a case with the PSA team. The card will need to be returned to PSA so that they can correct the label. The cost of shipping from GA to PSA will be covered however insurance may not be covered. Reimbursement for upgrade costs or changeover fees will be made upon receipt of the card at PSA. Return shipping of the relabelled card will be at the cost of PSA.  Game Addict will not be held accountable for label errors. We offer a handling service and not a grading service. If you have any questions in relation to label errors, please contact us via email.


Turnaround times

Please note: There is no set processing time for each step tracked in the status bar. Please don’t be alarmed if your order remains at a particular step for an extended period. It is due to the current volume of submissions PSA receives and processes. Game Addict is NOT the company grading your cards. We have limited control over the length and processes taken by PSA to authenticate and grade your cards.
