As published on 2026-11-02: Standard, $59.99 per card. PSA calls each tier’s figure the Max Insured Value. If PSA finds a card worth more than that after grading, it moves the card to the right tier and asks you to pay the difference in service-level price and shipping charges, so the figure works as a value cap.
PSA’s published estimates for its open tiers run from 5 to 80 business days depending on the tier, before shipping each way; Value (under PSA’s “Temporarily Paused” notice, 2 Nov 2026) is listed at 90–100 business days.
There is no published limit: Premium 10 has no value cap, at $9,999 per card, plus $399 per $10,000 or part above $350,000. Every other open tier has a cap, up to $250,000 on Premium 5.
Only when the expected sale price after grading beats the raw price by more than the fee. SlabbyPrep works that out for your card’s prices after measuring its centering against PSA’s published lines.
