How fees work
A fee is an extra cost charged when a card's value exceeds the allowed maximum.
Here is an overview of the maximum values per tier:
- €34.95 –> 500 dollars maximum graded value
- €84.95 –> 1000 dollars maximum graded value
- €124.95 –> 1500 dollars maximum graded value
- €209.95 –> 2500 dollars maximum graded value
An example of how a fee works: You submit a card via the bulk tier (€34.95). It returns as a PSA 10 and at that moment has a value of €600. What happens then? You will be asked to pay the difference to the tier the card should normally have been in (€84.95). This means an additional €50 needs to be paid.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Methodology
First, the cards must be correctly delivered to us so we can prepare them for shipment to PSA. Once the cards arrive, we will include them in the submission process. All types of Trading Card Game cards and stickers graded by PSA can be submitted.
Throughout the entire process, we will keep you informed; for this, it is best to join our PSA WhatsApp group. Each time the status of your cards changes, you will automatically receive an update.
Preparing the desired card for shipment
When submitting your cards, we ask you to first place each card in a Penny Sleeve and then slide it into a Card Saver. Card Savers can be easily ordered through our webshop.
If you do not have Card Savers, you can also submit the cards in toploaders. In that case, make sure the top is taped with (painter's) tape to prevent the cards from shifting or getting damaged during transport.
Please note: we strongly recommend always submitting cards in a Card Saver, as this is the safest and most suitable method for PSA grading.
We do not have a physical store, but cards can be dropped off by appointment at our location or sent by post according to our instructions.

PSA Payment
The grading fees must be paid in advance. This can be done when dropping off the cards in the store or when sending the cards via the account number listed on the PSA form. Any fees are always charged at the end to avoid misunderstandings.
Inspection and confirmation of receipt by Magic Traders
As soon as your cards have arrived with us, you will receive a notification via email as soon as possible (usually within 1-5 business days). This will contain more information and which shipment your cards have been assigned to. From this moment, your cards are also insured. This remains the case until the cards are returned to you after grading.
Shipment and confirmation of receipt by PSA (you will receive it from Magic Traders)
Your cards will then depart to PSA with the next shipment.
When the cards arrive at PSA and are registered, the waiting time until registration begins (the current waiting time can be found in the price list).
Return and inspection of PSA Slabs at Magic Traders
Once they return to Magic Traders after the grading process, we will check the PSA Slabs and prepare them based on the submission. We will then contact you for the further process of shipping to you or local pickup, and any fees.
What is the deadline?
This is the last day on which cards will be accepted for that specific monthly shipment. However, the shipment itself will take place the week after. This is because everything has to be manually entered. Generally, we accept cards until the last Friday of the month; that weekend, everything is entered, and the cards are sent to PSA on the following Monday/Tuesday.
Insurance method
In case of loss of the card(s) (in raw state), the raw value of the card in the specific tier in which it was sent will be reimbursed. This means that if a card was sent in bulk, a maximum of €200 can be reimbursed. This applies per specific tier, all of which are listed on the PSA grading service page.
In case of loss of the card(s) (in graded state), the value will be reimbursed, but this cannot exceed the maximum value in which the card was sent to PSA.
