Re: PSA grading
PSA grading is done in California, and most PSA agents are in North America (maybe all). The way PSA works, they give you a price break if you send more items, and charge you a premium if you want the cards graded quickly (I think normal turnaround is in the 30+ day category).
You can view PSA's website at: http://www.psacard.com/
Your biggest problem might be trying to figure out how to ship the cards in a secure manner with appropriate insurance. You should probably email PSA to make sure they are willing to work internationally. Otherwise you might need to use someone in the US as an Intermediate. If so, proceed with caution!

Where have all the Magic sticker sets gone?
Re: PSA grading
I can offer 2-3 week turnaround grading through PSA for $8 per card plus all shipping costs through our office. I do not know of any submission centers such as ourselves in Europe at this time.

Re: PSA grading
The company's "official policy" is to only grade Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited cards, but I've seen CE and ICE cards on ebay, as well as cards from legends, antiquities, etc.

Misprints are not graded on a scale. They are given a code denoting that they could not be graded to misprinting.
Re: PSA grading
They only grade "official" sets.
So they consider Summer or alt. 4th as "misprints"
If you send them a misprint or fake card, they will send back it to you without grading it, with an explanation.

Re: PSA grading
are they? really? I mean, aren't they just normal prints that were meant to be destroyed?
Summer and Alt 4th ARE misprints.

See this is why i don't put much stock in psa rating.
how can they rate something if they don't know what it is

Re: PSA grading
I've seen many PSA grading errors: a unlimited demonic tutor graded as a revised, an alpha tropical island graded as a beta...

Re: PSA grading
This is probably because the company normally grades sports cards, and most of the graders don't know much about Magic, such as the ways to differentiate between sets.I've seen many PSA grading errors: a unlimited demonic tutor graded as a revised, an alpha tropical island graded as a beta...
Re: PSA grading
THX for the help guys i think im gone stick to not graded the summer cards . im not sure any more if they make so many mistakes !!!!!! and im not sending a summer llanowar elves in extra mint condition to get it back as mint revised card :)
Re: PSA grading
