Max Declared Value is a concept in PSA grading services. It represents the maximum value of an item that you can declare when applying for grading. When submitting an grading submission, you need to estimate the value of your item and declare an amount as the declared value. The declared value is used for the following: - Service Level and Pricing: Based on the declared value, PSA determines the applicable service level and charges the corresponding service fee. For example, for the TCG Bulk service, the Max Declared Value is USD$199. This means that the value of your cards after graded must be USD$199 or below. If the value exceeds this amount, PSA has the right to upgrade you to the next service level and charge additional grading fees (upcharge), and you cannot refuse this operation.

No, the card authentication is not done on-site. For this event, the cards are sent in bulk by HobbyX Store to PSA in the United States for authentication.

The types of cards commonly graded by PSA include, but are not limited to:

- TCG cards: such as Pokémon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Weiss Schwarz, Magic: The Gathering, Digimon Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Lycee, Union Arena, etc.

- Sports cards: such as basketball cards, soccer cards, baseball cards, etc. - Collectible cards: such as Marvel comic cards, Kakawow, etc.

Consider the following factors when selecting a PSA grading service:

- Service Level: Refer to the Max Declared Value on the PSA service price list based on your estimated card value to determine the applicable service level for your cards. Note that service levels generally correspond to the estimated value, with higher-value items typically requiring a higher level of grading service.

- Processing Time: Consider the processing time for different service levels based on your needs and time constraints. Higher service levels usually offer faster processing times but at higher prices.

- Budget Considerations: Take into account the prices of different service levels based on your budget. Make sure the chosen service level falls within your budget range.

By considering these factors, you can choose the PSA grading service level that best suits your needs and budget. If you're still unsure, HobbyX staff can provide detailed advice and guidance.
