Hi, how can I send a card from comc to psa and from psa back to comc?

I'm from Portugal, and I have no idea, for example, a Zion card bought on ebay for 300 dollars, how much is it worth to grade it?

Thanks a lot.

You can send to a group submitter from COMC like PC Sportscards (Blowout user jewcer2k5), but you can't do it directly through COMC. You can find out more by going to their website or reading the big thread on their service in the Grading forum.

COMC used to have the ability to submit to BGS directly, but once their bulk submissions started going longer than 5 months to get back, they cancelled it. They considered using PSA, but that was when the graded card scandal was blowing up and PSA's backlog was also rapidly expanding way past useful service timelines.

You'll have to go through a group submitter and then have them send it back to COMC using the COMC Mailbox service. Or you could pay $6 USD store credit on COMC for them to evaluate the condition of the card (known as COMC Condition Review), and some people will pay higher for those.

So if I stay with that person, I pass the card to his COMC and he graduates it to me and returns it to mk COMC? That's right? I would be very interested to be like that, whatever it costs, for a European it is very complicated

Almost.

1) You mail the package with the cards you want to grade to his company.
2) He inputs them into his bulk order and mails to PSA.
3) PSA sends back to him.
4) He mails your cards back to COMC using your username as the mailbox addressee.
5) COMC loads them back into your account.

Definitely will cost less than someone from a foreign company trying to do it, plus for a $300 card, he has the ability to grade at the $20-25 service level for cards up to $499 value, which has been temporarily cancelled for regular submitters.

Your best option is to use shipmycards.com instead of comc. They offer PSA group submissions and are a better mailbox service then COMC, with quicker turnaround/processing times, cheaper processing rates plus better return shipping options. Their only big drawback is their market place isn't great so once you get the cards back you won't be able to quickly resell them on their platform but if you're a collector just looking to buy raw and get graded then ship home you should definitely look at switching to them.

That sounds like a good solution as well. I wasn't aware shipmycards does PSA submissions.

This is what I was gonna post after I read the OP.

Even if you were to use a group submission outside of SMC, you're better off shipping from SMC to that group submitter than from Comc.

Ok, I have registered in shipmycards, and I have entered some money, now, where is the option to send the cards that I buy to PSA?
