I mentioned a third party courier service and she said that it would be returned to sender because it isn't from UPS or FedEx. How do I get it to you? She said basically you have to through those companies even though you can't. Asked how others were able to send in their high value items and she claimed there was no way of her knowing.

At the moment, I don't have time to drop it off at a show or fly to California and bring it to their front door. Are those really my other options?

Really, PSA? How the f do I send them my card?

Is USPS registered mail an option?

Maybe get a quote from an outside insurer that covers the card in case of loss/theft.

If it's over the $50,000 level that USPS Registered allows, then you might be able to get third-party coverage through a Collectibles Insurance provider.

USPS Registered is extremely secure - and even more secure if you're declaring $50,000 insurance value. If that package went "missing", USPS would have a team of inspectors looking for it immediately.

If you don't want to fly to PSA to drop off in person or submit at a show, and can't find another way to properly insure, then USPS Registered would be the best option by far - even if you can't declare the full value.

Only do FedEx or UPS if your third-party insurance provider states to do so - FedEx and UPS insurance coverage for collectibles is very low / almost non-existent.

where are you located?

Insurance is worthless. Specific collectibles insurance might be ok, but I’m sure they would fight a claim as well. Anything of that value needs to be dropped off in person or delivered at a show.

Specific collector's insurance usually covers your card during shipment and travel. Worth exploring that option.
