PSA To Begin Accepting Video Game & Media Submissions For Grading This Month

PSA To Begin Accepting Video Game & Media Submissions For Grading This Month

Grading your games is a surefire way of making sure that they hold their value for years to come. Sealed and labelled with a score denoting their condition, you can either sell them on or put them on a shelf and be proud as punch whenever someone walks past and says, 'Hey, is that a Mint condition copy of Pokémon Red up there on your shelf?'

Yes... yes it is.

WATA Games has long been an authority in grading games and media, and while they've been part of the PSA family, they've retained their own name. As of October 20th, however, they're going to be fully merging and becoming PSA.

For customers, nothing new will change. According to the WATA Games website, 'you’ll still get the same services you know and love, just with PSA’s legendary expertise, new features, unified holders, and more. For PSA customers, this new category provides an opportunity to further expand your collection to include games, film, and music from your favorite fandoms.'

This move is essentially making PSA your one-stop grading shop for anything you hold dear to your heart or that has significant value. As well as grading cards, PSA customers will be able to grade their games, films, and albums. Once the change is fully underway, games and media will come with the trademark PSA red grading label on the top of the case, or a gold label if you manage to get a PSA 10 A++ grading.

It doesn't matter whether you have a CIB copy of Super Mario 64 or a loose copy of Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction album; you can send it in and get it graded. Head to the PSA website for more information and pricing!
