Card Grading Submission Portal
Welcome to the Card Grading Submission Portal for Elite Authentications. 

 

Whether you're looking to protect your collection, establish market value, or prepare cards for resale, our expert grading service delivers professional, reliable results you can trust.

 

On this page, you'll find everything you need to submit your cards, step-by-step instructions, packaging guidelines, and what to expect once your submission is received.

How to submit your cards for grading

Step 1

Complete Submission Form

Please complete and submit the Card Grading Submission Form below with all required details. Once we receive your form, Elite Authentications will review your request and send you detailed instructions on how and where to post, or deliver, your cards. We will also provide a Return Authorisation (RA) number. Please do not send any cards until you receive these instructions. 

Step 2

Prepare Your Cards for Shipping

On receiving return or delivery instructions from Elite Authentications, and a confirmed quote for the requested grading, proceed to place each card in a soft sleeve and semi-rigid card holder (e.g., Card Saver I). Do not use top loaders, screw-downs, or magnetic holders, as they may damage the card during transit or delay processing. Use a sturdy box with adequate padding to prevent movement during shipping. Include the return authorisation (RA) number outside the package. 

Step 3

Ship to Elite Authentications 

Send your package via a trackable and insured carrier (Post or Courier) to the shipping address provided on the submission form. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for the estimated value of the cards. 

Step 4

Confirmation & Processing 

Once your submission is received, you’ll receive a confirmation email. We will carefully unpack your parcel - recording the process to verify the contents and ensure all items are accounted for. After review, we will confirm the quoted cost and issue a payment request for the grading services selected. 

Step 5

Grading

Once payment is received, our team will then begin the grading process and notify you once grading is complete. Graded cards will be returned securely in tamper-evident holders, each labeled with a unique serial number and your card’s final grade. 

Step 6

Return Shipping

Elite Authentications will proceed to carefully pack and return your graded cards. We will use the shipping method selected by you in the submission form along with quoting for insurance of the items should this option be requested.
