Are you a group sub?

No. We are a PSA submission service. Your cards are NOT lumped into an order with several peoples cards. Every client’s cards get their own individual order.

Why use a submission service?

The peace of mind that your cards won’t get lost in the mail. Saving on shipping & Insurance to and from PSA.

How do I submit my cards?

First you fill out the form on the PSA SUB Page which includes your contact info and a list of the cards you are submitting. Then you drop off your cards at one of our Bullpen Sports shops: Bullpen HQ or Bullpen Burbank. We are no longer accepting mail in submissions.

What should my submission look like?​​

  • First, fill our the form on the Submit to PSA Page.

  • Organize your cards in the order of your Form submission.

  • We accept cards in card saver only. They are available at the shop.​ No one-touch magnets or screw downs please.

  • DO NOT seal your cards with tape or a sticker. Please remove before submitting.

  • DO NOT put your cards in individual team bags. We have to take them ALL out. Please take the cards out before submitting.

When are cards due to go out same week?

Cards must be dropped off at the shop by end of day TUESDAY to go out the same week. All orders are hand delivered to PSA HQ.

I dropped off my cards at The Bullpen, now what?​

We catalogue and process your submission then hand deliver it to PSA on Thursday.

When do cards get dropped off at PSA and what happens next?

Anticipation aka the waiting game. If you have any questions about your order please contact us via email. You will get a phone call when your order is back at your desired pick up location.

When and how do I pay?

You pay when you drop off. Cash, Credit Card, Apple Pay, Zelle and PayPal are accepted. Any upcharges are paid for when you pick up your order.

What happens when my cards come back from PSA?

You will get a phone call from us when your cards are back and ready to pick up or ship.

How long do I have to pick up my cards?

You have 90 days from when we contact you to pick up your cards.

What is an “Upcharge” and Why was I charged it?​

If your card at the grade it receives is valued at more then the level at which you submitted, PSA can “upcharge” the card to the level that reflects the price. For example, if you submit a card at the economy level (which is cards up to $999) and the card is worth $4500 as a PSA 10, they will charge the Super Express Price. We have no control over this and you are responsible for these charges on your orders. To avoid upcharges, please submit your cards at the correct level for their value.

Do you evaluate or clean cards?

Check out our new service, Bullpen Card Review​

Do you crack slabs?

No
