WHY CHOOSE LAKE COUNTRY CARDS?
Did you know that that in 2023 there were just over 250 official PSA dealers in the country?
Now (as of today at least, there are 1,737 listed).
That is a lot of new ones that have shown up this past year!
So, don't be fooled, stick with someone who has been doing it a long time
and knows what they are doing!
And Lake Country Cards is one of PSA's largest customers and group submitter
but we're not too shabby with CGC or SGC either.
What does that mean?
YOU CAN TRUST US! WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING! WE'VE GOT THIS!

PSA Grading FAQ'S
Why should I not just submit them myself?
This is a great question that everyone should ask!
First of all, you save by not having to pay for shipping to or from any of the grading companies (that on the cheap side is about $60).
We also are fully insured on every package, for those who have done it themselves, you know this could be over $100 per package.
We cover all of that at no cost to you!
Lastly, we take care of any customer service issues!
If you have ever tried to reach someone on your own,
you know it's impossible. We take care of any issues that arise making submitting super easy.
What's the difference between Standard & Dual Submission?
Standard is when you just want to have the card graded.
Dual is when you want both the card AND the auto graded.
​
Can I grade just one card at the Bulk rate?
YES, you can submit 1 or 1,000 cards. It makes no difference to us.
Regardless, we will be sure we take care of you and your cards.
​
What does it mean when it says Declared Value?
Declared Value is the value it holds AFTER the card is graded. We understand that knowing what the grade will be is not possible but we will help you the best we can to avoid submitting it at the wrong submission level and getting upcharged.
​
What's an upcharge?
An upcharge occurs when the cards declared value after grading is higher than the level allowed at submission. When this occurs, the customer will be charged for that card in the appropriate bracket.

CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph
CGC pioneered witnessed signature authentication when it introduced CGC Signature Series, but it had never offered full authentication and grading for collectibles with unwitnessed autographs — until the acquisition of JSA, the world leader in autograph authentication. The combination of CGC and JSA services is the answer to the countless collectors and dealers who have asked to have their autographed collectibles authenticated and then graded and encapsulated in one seamless solution.

Can I grade just one card at the Bulk rate?
YES, you can submit 1 or 1,000 cards. It makes no difference to us.
Regardless, we will be sure we take care of you and your cards.
