About turnaround
Grader turnaround is the grader's own published estimate and starts when they receive the batch, not when you post to Saikyou. Your total journey is turnaround plus freight both ways. We never guarantee a grader's timeline.
At least one planned batch per month for active services.
Sending your cards
Penny sleeve inside a semi-rigid holder (Card Saver style), rigid board around the stack, nothing adhesive touching the card or holder, tracked postage, and your submission ID in the parcel. You choose and pay the inbound carrier.
Value caps and upcharges
While we finalise insurance, cards are capped at $500 declared value each and $2500 per submission. If the grader applies an upcharge (for example, declared value above a service limit), we pass it through with their reason and only with your say-so. No silent charges.
