Shipping and insurance of $40 per order (both ways) is an assumption, not a PSA price; real cost depends on carrier and insured value. Every card must also fit under the tier’s declared-value cap, see all PSA tiers.

PSA’s Value and Value Bulk tiers are paused as of October 14, 2026, so the cheapest open tier is Standard. Details: PSA Value and Regular tiers.

Worked example

10 cards at Standard (90-100 business days): 10 × $59.99 = $599.90, plus $40 shipping = $639.90, or $63.99 per card. Each card must then sell for much more than that to pay off: see break-even price.
