So if i drain out the safe deposit box to the tune of $100.k worth of cards (maybe 30-40 total cards) Y'all suggest USPS Registered? Adding insurance for $100.k would be wayyyyy too expensive. The PSA return cost would be sizeable I am sure. But would this be the best way to go about it - Registered USPS, and then sleep comfy?

The Hope Diamond was reportedly shipped Registered Mail.

Not certain of the current limit, but I believe Registered has an insurance limit of $25K, so you might want to break up the shipment, but I doubt there is going to be a problem, unless something catastrophic happenings enroute.

Unless it's some cards worth crazy money, just ship them USPS insured. I've never had a problem with that.

I've submitted a card one time to get graded and it was damaged in the holder. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but it was a very thin card, almost a paper so I think I'll give it another try in the future.

Well packed into a box - 1st class with tracking - Have never had an issue over 30+ years

I was, and the package went to the national postal museum.

145.29 in postage. Most of that the insurance on a million dollar value.

Scan both sides of card, with and without order number, overnight and insure via USPS... less hands touching it the better except for registered mail where each person that touches it signs for it..

Did have first problem with PSA bending up a corner on two 52 Topps commons I had graded...Both 4.5's... CSR I can send back when I submit again...

I never knew that. That is a fun fact for sure. I have been told Registered is the way jewelers ship diamonds and precious stones.

Back in the day PSA required registered mail both ways.
