Shipping
Inbound: calculated at submission
You pay this when you submit, and the amount is based on your card count and address. It buys a prepaid USPS Priority Mail label to ship your cards to VCG, and we email it to you right away. This is separate from the grading fee above, which isn't charged until your cards are graded.
Return: included in your grading payment
After you pay the grading fee, we ship your graded cards back by USPS Priority Mail with Signature Confirmation. We quote the actual cost of this label for your order and add it to that same payment, so there's no separate bill.
Right now we only take standard-thickness cards, up to 35pt. See the FAQ for details on oversized and thick cards.
The art-matched label
Your slab's label is matched to the card inside it. PSA, BGS, CGC, and SGC don't offer this.
Standard label: free
Every card is graded and encapsulated with our clean standard label at no extra cost. You get this label unless you choose otherwise.
Art-matched label: +$2 per card
For $2 more per card, your slab's label is designed to match the artwork or photography on the card. It makes the graded card stand out, whether you're keeping it or selling it.
