Sports card group submissions refer to a process where a group of collectors pools their cards together to submit them to a grading service as a collective batch. This approach offers several advantages:
Benefits of Group Submissions:
1. Cost Savings: Group submissions can reduce the overall cost of grading by taking advantage of bulk submission discounts offered by grading companies.
2. Convenience: The process is managed by a group organizer who handles the logistics, paperwork, and shipping, making it more convenient for individual collectors.
3. Faster Turnaround: Larger submissions may be prioritized or handled more efficiently, potentially leading to faster grading times.
4. Networking: It provides an opportunity to connect with other collectors and share insights about the hobby.
Typical Process:
1. Organization: A group submission organizer collects cards from various participants. The organizer ensures all cards are properly documented and packaged for submission.
2. Submission: The organizer submits the collective batch of cards to a grading service such as PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) and CGC
3. Grading: The grading service evaluates the cards based on condition, authenticity, and other factors, and assigns a grade to each card.
4. Return: Once the grading process is complete, the graded cards are sent back to the organizer, who then distributes them to the original owners.
