Grade with us

Tri-State Toploaders offers a streamlined, secure, and transparent grading submission service for collectors who want their cards handled the right way. Whether you’re submitting a single grail or an entire collection, we act as your trusted middleman—making the grading process simple, safe, and stress-free.

We specialize in submissions to PSA and other major grading companies, leveraging experience, volume handling, and direct submission processes to ensure your cards are protected every step of the way.

Pricing

Submissions starting at $27.99 per card

Tri-State Toploaders offers competitive grading submission pricing designed to give collectors access to professional grading without unnecessary markups or hidden fees.

Because grading costs vary based on grading company, service level, declared value, turnaround tier, and market conditions, final pricing is not fixed and must be confirmed prior to submission.


How do we help you get your cards graded?

  1. Submit Your Cards

    Drop off or ship your cards to Tri-State Toploaders HQ using our secure intake process.

  2. Inspection & Prep
    Each card is reviewed for condition, verified for authenticity, and properly prepped according to grading company standards.

  3. Direct Submission
    Cards are submitted in bulk under Tri-State Toploaders’ account, following best-practice packaging and documentation procedures. Cards are then PHYSICALLY dropped-off to PSA to cut down on shipping fees and charges!

  4. Tracking & Updates
    Your submission is logged and tracked internally from intake through return—no guessing, no black box. Updates are provided through every aspect of the process via email!

  5. Return or Sell
    Once graded, cards are returned to us to be forwarded back to you or they can seamlessly transition into our consignment program if you choose to sell.

Turnaround Times

Grading turnaround times are dictated by the grading company, not Tri-State Toploaders, and are not guaranteed. Service levels, demand spikes, and industry volume can all impact timelines. We commit to transparency and communication throughout the process.
