A Simple Online Process
Submitting a game for grading has never been easier. Modern grading services offer fully digital submission workflows where you can create your order, upload photos, select your service preferences, and receive shipping instructions -- all from your computer or phone. The streamlined process eliminates paperwork and makes it accessible to both first-time submitters and experienced collectors.
What Information You Need
When submitting a game, you will be asked to provide: the exact game title, the platform (NES, SNES, PlayStation, etc.), the condition type (sealed, new in box, or complete in box), any variant information (first print, black box, player's choice, etc.), and clear photographs showing the current condition. Accurate information ensures the grading team can process your submission efficiently.
Choosing Your Service Level
Grading services typically offer different processing speeds. Standard service provides the best value with a longer turnaround time, while express service prioritizes your submission for faster completion. Consider your timeline when choosing -- if you are in no rush, standard service saves money. If you need the game back for a specific event or listing, express service is the way to go.
After Submission
Once your online submission is confirmed, you will receive detailed shipping instructions including the address, packaging requirements, and any reference numbers to include with your shipment. After the grading service receives your game, you will be able to track its progress through each stage: received, authentication, grading, encapsulation, and shipping back to you.
