Grading with PlayVault
From December 2026, get your cards graded by PSA or Beckett (BGS) without the paperwork or the shipping. Drop them off at our shop in Dubai Investments Park, we handle the submission, and you collect your slabs from the counter.
Grading is on our to-do list for December. Our first priority right now is getting the shop open and active — more information on service levels, fees and turnaround times will follow as we get closer to the date.
How it will work
Bring your cards in
Drop them off at our shop in Dubai Investments Park during opening hours. We go through every card with you before anything is logged.
Everything goes on a signed receipt
Each card is listed on an intake receipt with its declared value and any existing wear noted, along with the grading company and service level you choose. You keep a copy.
We submit to PSA or BGS
We send your cards to PSA or Beckett and handle the paperwork and shipping. Turnaround depends on the company and service level — we give you their current estimate at drop-off.
Collect your slabs
When your cards are back, we let you know. Pick them up from the shop and sign them out on your receipt.
Fees & turnaround
Fees depend on the grading company and the service level you choose. We’ll publish them closer to launch, and every fee is written on your intake receipt before anything is sent.
Good to know
- PSA and BGS (Beckett). You choose the grading company for each submission.
- Grades are decided by the grading company. We submit your cards; we don’t influence or guarantee the result.
- Your cards are documented before they leave. Every card is logged on a signed intake receipt with its declared value and condition notes.
- Turnaround times are PSA’s or Beckett’s estimates, not guarantees.
- Selling slabs instead? We buy PSA and BGS slabs for Pokémon and One Piece — see Sell Your Collection.
