Pricing questions
How much does it cost to grade a card with CCA?
CCA grading costs $8 per card on Bulk (10-card minimum), $10 on Standard, $25 on Express and $75 on Walk-Through. Return shipping and any extra coverage are added at checkout, and your saved card is charged when grading is complete and the order is ready to ship.
Is there a minimum number of cards?
Only Bulk has a minimum, 10 cards per submission. Standard, Express and Walk-Through have no minimum, so you can send a single card.
How long does CCA grading take?
Estimated turnaround is 7–14 calendar days for Bulk, 5–10 for Standard, 3–5 for Express and 24–48 hours for Walk-Through. The clock starts at confirmed intake, when your package is received and verified, and shipping time is not included. These are estimates, not guarantees.
What insurance coverage is included?
Each service level includes coverage per card: up to $100 on Bulk, $250 on Standard, $500 on Express and $1,500 on Walk-Through, so 25 Bulk cards include $2,500. You can add coverage above the included amount for a small fee at checkout, where the exact cost is shown before you submit.
What happens if a card cannot be graded?
No grading fee is charged for a card that cannot be graded or fails authentication. The card is returned with your order without a numeric grade.
