3rd party authentication

[dbdimaggio]

I don't know how to send high end non graded baseball cards worth more than $250 to a 3rd party authentication.  Which company do I use? PSA or CGC for non graded cards. What's the address? What is included with the card so the company knows it's an authentication and to be sent to buyer after authentication. Ebay needs to be better with this before we start putting expensive cards in the mail. Why is it such a mystery to learn the process? Uuuggghhh!!! Thank you

@dbdimaggio.   If you wish to grade the cards yourself before listing on ebay then you send them into a car grading company such as PSA.

Otherwise any cards, including raw and graded, that are listed for over $250 will be automatically enrolled in the ebay authentication program there is no opting in or out of the program. The address to ship the cards to ebay authentication will be on the order details when you print the label. There will be a code that ties the sale to you and the buyer on the label. eBay will then inspect the card and mail it to the buyer after it is validated as authentic.
