So I recently went to nationals in Chicago and had a few of my packs sent in for grading. it cost 37$ per pack. Now I assume it would of cost me more if I had to ship to psa since they are located on the west coast and I am located in Michigan. My main question is does anyone know what the price would be per pack if I had a membership or went thru someone else who gets a discount? Thanks.
EDIT: PS: I had a guy told me he pays 14$ per pack and he is located in NY, but when I asked him about what membership or deal he has with psa he would not tell me.
It’s $14+$5 handling for any member. $35 if you actually declare it as high value item. I think you paid a bit too much, but you also have to pay for shipping and memberships are quite expensive so you might not have had much of a better deal from someone else.
Packs must be submitted separate from cards on a PSA pack submission form.

problem with the website. they don’t give the form out for packs. I remember it had some extra fees for packs when I paid for it. wish I could find the receipt
Edit: you had to fill out different form than the card submission one, and it had different fee’s.
Found the receipt and yeah I will never do it on my own again. got raped from the shipping, which is a joke looking back on it now. 14$ for the card +5$ handing fee, and 18$ for shipping when they send it back. what a joke that psa charges that much. I order stuff from cali all the time with tracking + insurance and most I have ever had to pay is ~ $4. I will defiantly be looking for a middle man to send packs in the future.
This was at the psa booth for nationals a few months ago. they take the cards back with them to cali and I pay for shipping back. I would of been more I assume if I would of just mailed them off myself. But yes in the future I will be using a third party if I do send anymore packs off, because the shipping is outrageous.
yeah I know I paid the normal fees/amount still just blows my mind when talking with that guy from NY who says he only spent 14$ per pack. Like I was saying it is just not ideal for me personally to send anymore off in the future (which I never planned to anyways) without a middle man.
