PSA Value (Pre 1980)

This service is specifically for cards that predate 1980. Please use the other Value service for modern cards.

Please be aware that with this service your cards can be held at The Sub Center for longer than other services. This is because we have a minimum quantity submission requirement with PSA and therefore, we must wait to accrue enough cards before submitting them. Typically this can take 1-3months.

Includes Standard Imaging of the front and back of the graded card from PSA.

Estimated turnaround: 45 Business Days. This is not a guaranteed timeframe. We work with PSA to keep this updated regularly.
Final graded value: $500 or less. This is the value of your card once graded. If your card is valued above this amount once graded it may be upcharged. The insurance limit per card is capped to the ‘final graded value’ of your chosen service.

Semi-rigids

All cards are required to be sent to PSA, Beckett or CGC in clear loose fit card sleeves and the correct size semi-rigids for grading.
If you are not sending your cards to us in the correct card sleeves and semi-rigids you will need to add the necessary quantity of semi-rigids to your order.
This fee covers the clear loose fit card sleeve, the semi-rigid and the handling fee for swapping out your cards in store.

Sending your cards to us in the correct way will save you money and reduce the handling of your cards in store.
We highly recommend subsafe.uk. Plus you can save 10% on all orders with code: THESUBCENTER

Holder Removal

If you would like to send us a graded card to be removed from it’s current graded holder and be sent on a new service you will need to add the holder removal service to your order.

Our experienced team can safely remove the cards from any grading company holders.
The holder removal service fee is applicable for each card that needs to be removed.

Return Postage

To reduce the return time of your cards, we now take the payment for your return postage at the point of ordering.

Postage charges vary from £9-18 depending on the weight and Insurance value of your cards. 

We ship all returns within the UK via Royal Mail Next Day Special.

For International orders, we will contact you to quote you for Fedex International Shipping.

Please note, if you are purchasing different service levels you will need to pay a postage charge per service. Please consider the additional cost when splitting services as we can not facilitate holding returned services to wait for other service level returns.

The Sub Center has exceeded my expectations on all levels! From start to finish the team were friendly, helpful and most importantly very experienced. I was originally anxious about grading my cards, however the service was simple, and I was notified throughout the process with the ability to be able to track the status of my order. My cards were delivered back to me extremely well packaged and quicker than expected. I am excited to send my next submission. I highly recommend this company.

Fantastic service allowing easy access to the big American grading companies. One of my cards came back with a case defect so they sent it back to be fixed free of charge. While the turnarounds can take a long time, they are very transparent about how long each service can take and offer a tracker on their website to keep you posted about the various stages of your collectibles' journey to the States, when it's being graded, and the journey home. Highly recommended for UK citizens who want to grade with PSA, Beckett, CGC and more.
