PSA Germany 2026: Frankfurt Location, Launch & Services

• PSA has set up a full-scale authentication and grading facility in Frankfurt am Main.
• Submissions have been open since September 15, 2026. Collectors in every EU country can submit directly to PSA without international shipping.
• According to PSA, Frankfurt offers all globally available service levels for cards, autographed cards, tickets and packs.

For a long time, collectors in Germany and Europe had to send their cards to the USA to have them graded by PSA. That meant high shipping costs, customs and months of waiting. The new facility in Frankfurt am Main has changed that. In this article we summarize what PSA has officially announced and how to submit your cards now.

Location: Frankfurt am Main

PSA chose Frankfurt as the home of its European grading facility. The city sits in the center of Europe, and its airport is one of the continent's most important logistics hubs. PSA describes the site as a full-scale authentication and grading facility, not just a drop-off point that forwards cards to the USA.

Start of submissions

According to PSA, collectors have been able to submit directly in Frankfurt since September 15, 2026. This applies to collectors in all countries of the European Union. Shipping stays within the EU, so international routes and the delays that came with them disappear.

Which services are available?

PSA states that Frankfurt offers all globally available service levels. Grading is available for trading cards, autographed cards, tickets and sealed packs. That includes the major trading card games such as Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece and Lorcana, as well as sports cards.

PSA publishes the exact service levels, their prices and turnaround times on its own website. These details change regularly, so we deliberately don't list prices here.

What changes for collectors in Europe?

• Lower shipping costs: instead of an insured parcel to the USA, shipping within the EU is enough.
• No customs: shipments within the EU no longer incur import charges on the way back.
• Shorter routes: no transatlantic transport, which lowers transport risk and shortens the overall time.
• Billing in euros: no more exchange-rate risk against the US dollar.

How to prepare a submission

1. Check your cards: inspect centering, corners, edges and surface. Only cards in very good condition are worth it for a high grade.
2. Protect your cards: put each card in a soft sleeve and then in a semi-rigid card saver.
3. Submit online: enter the cards in your PSA account, choose the service level and state the declared value. Print the form.
4. Pack securely: fix the cards between two pieces of cardboard, place them well padded in a sturdy box and add the form.
5. Ship insured: to the address PSA gives you during submission, with tracking and sufficient insurance.
