PSA question

[cmixer]

Just curious ...
I have a bunch of cards I just want slabbed as "authentic."

Is it cheaper to slab authentic vs. full grade?

Through COMC it is the same price. PSA doesn’t grade plates, for example, but will slab them as authentic for the same price of a graded card.

Not cheaper. Same price.

The good news is you won't get scammed with an upcharge if they deem your card is more valuable after grading.

how do you indicate on comc that you want a card authenticated vs graded?

You don’t. In my example, they do not assign grades to printing plates, so if you submit plates to PSA they will only come back as authenticated. CGC assigns grades to printing plates though.
