Step by step instruction at ETA

We have created a step-by-step guide for you so that we can answer most questions directly and guide you through the ordering process right up to the shipping of your cards.

Please watch our YouTube video here: ETA order process on YouTube

Step 1: Order your grading service

  1. Select the desired grading service and the number of cards to be graded.
  2. Enter your personal details and delivery information at checkout (create a customer account if you don't already have one for more benefits).
  3. Choose the payment method that suits you best.
  4. Complete order.

Step 2: Shipping preparation

  1. You will receive a confirmation email of your order.
  2. You can optionally fill out the grade form linked below this step and include it with your package. This is now optional and no longer required.
  3. Please note that all your cards must be sent in a penny sleeve and a card saver. This is mandatory for submission to PSA, BGS, and CGC! You can also use newspaper or bubble wrap in the package you send your cards to us to prevent them from slipping and remain undamaged.
