Granted solely at the discretion of the experts at 4 Sharp Corners, the 4SC Elite hologram is reserved for cards that are among the very finest for their assigned grade. These will be visually stunning, potentially undegraded examples, that are superior in most respects to cards of a similar assigned grade.

Selling your collection to 4 Sharp Corners is a simple, stress-free process. To get started, simply fill out our online seller form or email us at selltous@4sharpcorners.com with details, photos, and an asking price. Please keep in mind that transactions move much faster when sellers have a reasonable expectation of value. Once we receive your information, our expert buying team will review your submission and promptly provide you with a competitive offer. If accepted, we will provide you with shipping instructions, or you can choose to drop your collection off at our office or coordinate a drop-off at a major card show. As soon as your items are received and verified, we will issue your payment—often within 24 hours for PSA sets.
We are actively buying high-grade sets, partial sets, lots, and hoards from all four major sports, as well as non-sport cards. We are always looking for:
Submitting through us saves you the hassle of handling PSA's strict paperwork and specific submission packaging guidelines. If you drop your cards off in person at our shop or at one of the many card shows we attend, you completely avoid the shipping and insurance costs associated with mailing cards to PSA! For mail-in submissions, you just get the cards safely to us, and we take over from there, fully insuring them in transit to and from PSA's facility.
Additionally, if you plan to sell your graded cards, our Grade & Consign service is the ultimate time and money saver. Instead of shipping cards to PSA, waiting for their return, and then paying to ship them again to a consignor, you only hand them off once. We handle the grading, we handle the sale, and you just get paid. Plus, you never have to pay for an annual PSA membership or pay your grading fees upfront—you are only invoiced when your graded cards return!
Please place each card in a new, clear penny sleeve and then into a graded card submission semi-rigid holder (such as a Card Saver I). Please note: A $1.00 fee will be applied for each item not correctly sleeved; alternatively, we reserve the right to return the cards at the owner's expense.
Please do not send in top loaders, hard acrylic cases, or screw-down holders. Do not place labels, stickers, or write on the outside of Card Savers. If an item arrives with a manufacturer’s seal/sticker, PSA will remove it for processing purposes.
When shipping your cards to us, please sandwich your semi-rigid holders between two pieces of sturdy cardboard, secure them with a rubber band, and pack them snugly in a box with bubble wrap or packing paper so they do not shift in transit. We also highly recommend insuring the full value of your package when mailing it to us.
No. We will send the cards to PSA in the exact same condition in which they are sent to us. We will not be cleaning, reviewing, or pre-grading cards. While we ensure your cards are securely packaged for transit according to PSA's strict guidelines, we highly recommend carefully reviewing your cards yourself before bringing them in.
While there is no maximum limit on the size of your submission, certain service levels have minimum requirements to be eligible for value pricing.
We will submit your cards to PSA within 5 business days of receiving them. From there, the grading time at PSA will be determined by the service level tier you select and PSA's current backlog. Please note that these are purely estimates, and PSA does not guarantee exact return dates.
Yes! You can easily track the progress of your submission directly through our grading services portal. You will also receive automated email updates whenever your submission's status changes.
The declared value is your realistic estimate of what the card will be worth after it is graded. This value dictates the maximum insurance coverage for the card and determines which PSA service tier you must select. You can look at recent sales data on auction sites, like eBay, to estimate this.
We accept both! PSA grades a wide variety of TCGs, non-sports cards, and pop culture cards. We are happy to submit them for you exactly as we would sports cards.
Yes. Thick cards are completely fine to submit. Please ensure they are placed in an appropriately sized thick penny sleeve and a properly sized semi-rigid holder so the card is not pinched or damaged.
Cards with aftermarket autographs require a specific "Dual Service" submission so PSA can authenticate the signature in addition to grading the card. Please notify us when submitting if your card features an in-person autograph so we can route it to the correct service tier.
Yes. We are happy to process "Authentic Only" submissions if you prefer to just have the card authenticated and encapsulated by PSA without receiving a numerical grade. PSA does, however, have certain exclusions on items that qualify for this service.
No. At this time, we are not allowing "crossover" submissions for cards graded by other companies.
If your card receives a high grade and its newly established market value exceeds the maximum limit for the service tier you selected, PSA will apply an "upcharge" to bump it to the appropriate pricing tier. This is an industry-standard practice enforced directly by PSA. If this happens, we will notify you, and the appropriate upcharge amount will be reflected on your final invoice.
Yes. Once your cards are verified and logged into our system at 4 Sharp Corners, they are fully covered by our commercial insurance policy up to your declared value while in our possession and while in transit to PSA. While at PSA's facility, they are covered under PSA's standard insurance policies.
While exceedingly rare, it can happen. If PSA loses or damages a card while it is in their facility, they will compensate the owner based on the declared value of the item or its current fair market value. We will handle all the communication and claims with PSA on your behalf to ensure you are appropriately compensated according to PSA's policies.
You do not have to pay anything upfront. We will send you a final invoice covering your grading fees, any applicable PSA upcharges, and return shipping (if applicable) once your cards have been returned to us and processed. Payment is required in full before the cards can be picked up or shipped back to you.
Important Note: If payment for grading services fails, you will have [XX] days to respond to our outreach. If no contact is made within that timeframe, your cards will automatically be consigned by us, and the grading fees will be deducted from the sale to cover all PSA costs.
Return shipping and insurance will be determined based on the number and total final graded value of the cards being returned to you. This amount will be calculated and added to your final invoice once the cards are ready to be shipped back to you.
Our consignment fees are the exact same rates whether you grade the cards through us or not. Please refer to our Rates page for full details on our current fee structure and tiers.
We collect payment when grading services are complete. If you are consigning your cards with us our normal consignment procedures and payouts apply.
All consigned cards will be listed and auctioned exclusively through our high-traffic eBay storefront to ensure they reach the largest possible market of active buyers and collectors.
Generally, no. The Reholder service is specifically designed to transfer your card from one holder to another without a new grading assessment. However, a mandatory inspection is conducted to confirm the integrity of the original holder. If it is determined that the holder has been tampered with or the card has suffered damage (such as UV fading) since the original grade was issued, a full re-evaluation may be required.
Important Notice: Please be aware that by requesting this service, the customer assumes all risk associated with the reholdering process, including any potential changes to the grade resulting from the mandatory inspection or the physical transition between holders.
As an official PSA partner, we simplify the entire logistics chain. We handle the heavy lifting: secure intake, white-glove prep, and fully insured shipping to and from PSA. Additionally, we offer a seamless transition to our consignment platform, allowing you to sell your newly slabbed cards without ever having to touch them yourself.
Yes. Your cards are covered by our comprehensive commercial insurance policy from the moment they are checked into our facility until they are either returned to you or sold through our consignment network. We ensure your collection is protected at every stage of the journey.
Absolutely. In fact, these are the most common candidates for reholdering. Upgrading older slabs to the current LightHouse™ label not only adds modern security features but also provides a consistent "look" across your collection, which can significantly increase eye appeal for potential buyers.
Once your order is processed, you can track its status 24/7 through the 4 Sharp Corners submission portal. You’ll receive updates when your cards are received, sent to PSA, and when they arrive back at our facility ready for return or consignment.
The latest rates for our reholdering services are always available on our website and directly within the submission portal. Please note that all pricing is based on PSA’s current service levels and is subject to change without notice.
To make the submission process as seamless as possible, we only require a valid credit card on file at the time of your initial order. We do not bill you upfront; instead, we will issue a comprehensive final invoice once your cards have returned to our facility from PSA. This final invoice will include your reholdering fees along with any potential PSA upcharges incurred during the process. We will then bill the full amount to your card on file before your cards are fulfilled for return or moved into consignment.
The service fee covers the basic reholdering and processing. During the checkout process, you will select your preferred return shipping method and insurance coverage at which time return shipping charges will be calculated. If you choose to consign with us after services are complete, you will incur no additional fees.
Declared Value is your estimate of the card’s worth after the reholdering is complete. This value determines the level of insurance coverage while the card is in transit and at PSA. If a card is significantly undervalued and its true market value exceeds the limit of the chosen service level, PSA may require an "upcharge" to the appropriate tier to ensure full insurance coverage.
If PSA determines that the market value of your card is higher than the maximum allowed for your selected service level, they will issue an upcharge. If this happens, we will adjust your final invoice. All service fees must be paid before your cards are returned or moved into consignment.
If PSA determines that a holder has been tampered with or that the card's condition has changed—preventing them from completing a simple reholder—they may require a full re-evaluation. If you choose not to proceed with a re-evaluation, or if the service cannot be completed for security reasons, the initial service fees are generally non-refundable as PSA still performs the mandatory authentication inspection of the holder.
