I just sent two higher dollar cards to a TPG, needed quick turnaround, so sent the package USPS overnight, they had the cards the next afternoon, the more valuable of the two(five-figures like yours) was graded and back to me within 5 days. However the insurance limit is 5k. I have private insurance which covered it, but would not be worth getting a policy for a one time event.

Registered mail can be insured up to 50k.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it's very appreciated. I graded a couple hundred '55 and '56 Topps back in 2011 with PSA but its been so long I forgot how I shipped them. It was Registered Mail, I recall 'gluing on' the paper tape and the post office stamping across the tape now. It sounds like this is the right choice for me again. And I still have the tape!

I would probably take the time to drive to Newport Beach and walk it into PSA if that's where I was sending it, but it needs to make the cross country trip to Boca Raton.

Thanks again!
