Sending your cards to Golden Grading takes five steps. Every box gets the same care, whether it holds one card or a thousand.
The 5 steps
Fill out your submission form
Submit online, which is fastest, or download, print and fill out the paper form by hand.
Print a copy and put it in the box with your cards. On a phone, you can print your confirmation email instead.
Please write clearly, and give your shipping address and a working email. Your invoice goes to that email.
Pack your cards
For your protection, put each card in a soft sleeve, then in a top loader or card saver.
Want your cards insured on the way back? Add return insurance on your form, up to $5,000.
Ship your box to us
Mail your cards to:
Golden Grading
P.O. Box 87078
Baton Rouge, LA 70879We check in your box and send your invoice
Your box joins the queue when it arrives. Once it is checked in, we email your invoice from PayPal. Depending on the service and how busy we are, check-in can take a few days.
We don’t send a confirmation when your cards arrive in the mail: the invoice is your confirmation. Before you pay it, make sure your shipping address is right.
We grade your cards and ship them back
Once your invoice is paid, your cards go into grading. See the current turn times.
When they are done, we pack your slabs and send them home. You’ll get the tracking by email from PayPal or Rollo. Packages need a signature at delivery; if you’re not home, the post office will arrange a pickup.
