Submission Process

Submitting your cards through The Card Raider is simple. Place your order through our website, send your cards to us, and we handle the rest.

We manage the grading process from start to finish — from receiving your cards, checking your submission, sending them to PCG, and returning your graded cards back to you.

How It Works

1. Place your order

Start by placing your grading order through The Card Raider website.

When placing your order, you will choose:
- your grading service
- your preferred slab style
- your return shipping option

Please make sure your order is completed before sending your cards to us.

2. Choose your slab style

We currently offer 3 slab styles:

- Standard
- Player Slab
- Player Slab Slim

All slab styles cost the same depending on the grading service selected.

3. Choose your grading service

We currently offer the following grading options:

- Standard — 2 to 4 weeks — $32 + shipping
- Express — 1 week — $52 + shipping
- Same Day — 1 to 3 hours — $72 + shipping

Please note: turnaround times begin from when PCG receives the card, not when you place your order with The Card Raider.

4. Pack your cards safely

Once your order has been placed, prepare your cards for shipping.

We recommend sending each card in:
- a penny sleeve
- a semi-rigid holder or top loader

Please pack your cards carefully to help protect them during transit.

5. Send your cards to The Card Raider

Post your cards to us after placing your order. Address to be used: 

Parcel Locker 1033061698
7 Hooke Road, Edinburgh North SA, 5113

Please make sure you include:
- your full name
- your order number
- any relevant submission details

We strongly recommend using tracked postage when sending cards to us.

6. Monthly submission schedule

Submissions are generally sent to PCG on the first Monday of each month.

To be included in that month’s submission, your order and cards must be received by the 20th of the previous month.

If your order or cards arrive after the cutoff, your submission will roll into the following month’s dispatch.

7. We check and organise your submission

Once your cards arrive, we will check your submission, confirm the contents, and organise your cards for processing.

To help avoid errors, cards should remain in the same order as submitted.

8. We send your cards to PCG

After your submission has been checked and organised, we send your cards to PCG as part of our submission process.

This means you do not need to deal with the grading company directly — we handle that step for you.

9. Your cards are graded

PCG will assess and grade your cards based on the selected service level.

Please remember that turnaround times begin once PCG receives the cards.

10. Your graded cards return to The Card Raider

Once grading is complete, your cards are returned to us first.

We then check your completed submission, organise your return, and prepare your cards to be sent back to you.

11. We send your cards back to you

After your graded cards are returned to us, we carefully package them and send them back to you using your selected return shipping method.
