Interesting. I will take a look at it tonight and see if that is the case. I never thought of this though I have seen it on some, I do not believe mine was like that. But I could have overlooked it. Thank you for the info.

So I picked up my 4 cards from gamestop today... well I sold them 2 and kept 2 of the cards...

Funny thing is when I get there the guy goes did you look at your grades already and I didn't sound too happy when I said yes... so he goes that don't sound good what you get a 7 or an 8? I say a 7... he was like is it the blue eyes white dragon? I was like yup... he goes I looked that card over front and back trying to see why it was a 7 and it's not a 7 that card looks nice... I was like it surprised me to


For anybody who knows yugioh it's the quarter century blue eyes out of the dueling mirrors 25th anniversary tin... I keep staring at the card and this card is definitely closer to a 10 than it is a 7...

Of the 4 cards I submitted there was 2 cards I felt the strongest about being able to get a 10... the one card got a 10 and the other got a 7

Has anyone actually purchased slabs on GameStop.com? What is the return policy once you receive it and how do you return it?

I have bought slabs from them online but so far it has gone smooth... so I have never tried to return them but i found this on their website

I've purchased slabs from them before. Good way to use up some reward points. No issues on the purchase, can't comment on return policy.

Is it still taking about a month for cards submitted to "arrive" at PSA?

I sent an order 6-30-25 and it still says shipped to PSA under my GameStop account.

Things will probably start to be even slower with PSA since the National is approaching.

Yes and it will always take that long to show an updated status other than "Shipped to PSA".

Gamestop Order Date: May 15, 2025
Grades Ready: July 15, 2025
Grades popped today for a small (test) Gamestop order with a few Project 2020 / 70 cards for a PC set I have now completed.

5 card order: 2 PSA 9s, 3 PSA 10s.
If anyone is wondering, yes, you can submit thick cards via Gamestop.

Although Gamestop says to put all cards in a penny sleeve and card saver, that obviously won't work for thick cards. I just submitted to Gamestop via the standard PSA way (with a penny sleeve, thick top-loader, and team bag for each card.) Worked like a charm.

Even the Gamestop employee said they weren't sure if PSA would accept them, but I could get a refund if they were rejected. No worries, they will, even if the Gamestop rules for submitting aren't clear.

Just a heads up for anyone submitting thick cards. They're fine via Gamestop.

I submitted my 1st PSA order through GameStop.

The guy behind the counter had only processed one order previously
so he struggled a little bit, but eventually figured it out.

One disadvantage to submitting through GameStop is you have to pay the grading fees up front;
whereas if you send directly to PSA you are charged after PSA grades them.

I sent a Wemby auto that will likely be an upcharge, so we'll see how smooth that process is.

I will update my progress here.

GameStop order date 7/12/25
Arrived at PSA 7/16/25

So your order actually arrived that quickly after you dropped off?

My last order from 6-30-25 is still shipping to PSA. It has been marked arrived yet.

Mine normally takes forever to show up as arrived but my current submission that I dropped off on July 8th showed up today as arrived..

Seems to be a luck of the draw. Had orders arrive within 5 days to PSA, while others took 30-35 days.

I wouldn't be surprised if it still takes the 45-60 business days to get the cards back and ready for pickup. They may sit in assembly and even QA for a long time. I once had one sit in QA for 5 weeks before it finally said "Graded".

Yes, I was shocked it arrived that quickly.

I would be curious the amount of business days it takes you to receive them back after they got them so quickly.

First submission using GameStop. Decided to go with Pokemon, mostly <$100 cards to see how it goes. If some some gem they should be in the $100-300 range and sent in my Captain Pikachu that I pulled in June to see how it does. More than likely a 9 but if it gems it goes from a $250 card to a $850 card.

I only received a New Submission and Grades Ready email on the first submission. I did receive a shipped to PSA email for the second order. Do y'all manually track updates in the GameStop app?

Yes, you have to manually track the updates if you want dates for every step. You get e-mails for the important steps: submission made, arrived at PSA, grades ready, and cards ready for pickup.

I usually check twice a week after it arrives at PSA until I see it hit grading, then start checking every other day.
