p.s.a. card submission help

Unless the card is in a lower grade, you're looking at a $5000-$25000 card.

PSA lists the card at $6500 in PSA 8, even though there have been recorded sales of a PSA 7 for $12k.

It's up to you, but I'd declare the card at Walk-Through tier ($250) for $9500.

The rest of the set would need to be submitted separately, though, since you'd be submitting those at the lowest tier. You could use the Collector's Club Special ($10 per card, min 25 cards) for the remainder (27 cards?) of the set.

If you want to gamble, you could possibly submit at the Super-Express tier ($95) and declare $4750, but you'd be risking it getting lost and only being insured for that value.

If you attempt to submit at any lower tier, PSA would call you to tell you that they have to charge your card for a higher tier, I think. Either that or they'll return the card ungraded. If that happens, I don't know how the fees are refunded.

I'd go with SGC before PSA.

I'd go with SGC before PSA.

And you'd be leaving about 40% of the market value on the table by doing so... That is unless you're saying that you'd go with SGC to be sure it's not a counterfeit, and then submit to PSA for a crossgrade.

Thanks guys. I'm not worried about it being a counterfeit. I live in Charlotte and received these cards myself. 10 days before my 14th birthday. I have all my stuff from that game. Ice cream helmets, regular helmet, tickets, wristbands, caps, cups, etc....

In that case, you should definitely submit them to PSA. Now, given you got them as a teen birthday gift, what kind of condition are the cards in? Would you be willing/able to post a photo of the cards? Maybe someone can help do a grade estimate for you.

That would be nice, but I don't know how to do that?

If you have a flatbed scanner, scan them at 300-400 dpi. If not, just take a photo so the card is straight-on as opposed to at an angle.
