The subject says it. Little help. Thanks!

Google "PSA submission form" man. It brings up two or three youtube videos that should cover everything you're looking for.

The videos are for sports not CCGs.

I gotta ask... what is a PSA submission form in the context of a CCG?

I believe it has to do with getting card conditions being professionally rated or something to that end...

If you'll note from the form, the S in PSA stands for sports, so it's entirely possible that you cannot even submit CCGs in this fashion... as such, the videos are exactly what one would want/need. Unfortunately nobody here seems to know about the process as we're not exactly sitting on Power 9 cards that need to be graded...

Is there a company that validates and encapsulated only magic cards or other CCGs?

Not that I'm aware of. If you have HIGH end stuff like the Power Nine, rare Alphas or Betas, things of that nature, you can probably have the cards professionally rated through similar services as with sports cards, but again, as most of us aren't sitting on cards of that value, I seriously doubt anyone here can tell ya. I would suggest going and talking to someone at a store that specializes in sports and other higher-end collectables to see what they can tell you.

No power 9s over here. Thanks for the.info.

if the individual card isn't $2-300+ is it worth the effort? I could see getting something like a promo mutavault or a jace MS done, but most cards are going to be tradeable/sellable with just a visual inspection... some people have suggested using a jewelers lens to check for the fakes coming out of china on the more expensive cards, but I think that's as far as I would take it...

as imporant as the market is to us magic players, it's still not as widely recognized as other collectables
