PSA Grading Pause
PSA has paused grading on all Regular and Value submissions effective 3PM Tuesday 2nd June 2026 at 3PM Pacific Time. This means that unless we have your cards by first thing Monday morning we wont be able to submit them to PSA until after PSA opens up these categories again.
If you have cards with us for cleaning that are yet to go to the cleaner we have emailed you regarding this. You have 5 options as follows;
- We can send your cards to PSA in the current categories without cleaning.
- You still want your cards cleaned (won't be done until late June at the earliest) and are happy to wait until PSA re-opens submissions for the C500-Bulk, C500-Plus and C1000 categories. This will mean your cards won't be processed for potentially months, basically until PSA has re-opened submissions for those categories..
- Any cards that would have gone in the C500-Bulk, C500-Plus and C1000 categories can be sent by us to CGC instead of PSA for $40/card.
- You can move all of your cards into the C1500 (or above) category, though the minimum cost for the C1500 category is $165 per card.
- You can have your cards returned to you without having been cleaned/graded.
CGC Submissions
To provide customers with a cheaper grading alternative we will begin CGC Grading Submissions in the coming weeks. Pricing is expected to be $40/card for any card valued up to $1000 USD.
Keep an eye out for more information on this in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions on the above please email us at grading@thehobby.com.au
