PSA and Beckett service tiers for Palworld cards

Grading tiers are priced by declared card value and promised turnaround. PSA's cheapest bulk-style option is its Value tier, with Regular and higher express tiers above it; Beckett splits its lineup into Base, Standard and faster premium tiers. Both companies periodically pause their lowest tiers when submission volume spikes, so always confirm the live tier list before building an order.

  • Declared value rules

PSA Value

PSA Value is the entry tier for low declared-value modern cards and usually carries minimum card counts per order. It is the cheapest per-card route for Palworld commons, uncommons and lower-end parallels — and the tier most often suspended during backlogs.

PSA Regular and above

Regular is the mid tier with a higher declared-value ceiling and a much shorter turnaround; Express and Super Express tiers exist above it for high-value chase cards such as gold SSP and alternate-art hits.

Beckett Base and Standard

Beckett Base is its economy tier and Standard sits above it with a faster quoted turnaround. Note that Beckett's cheapest tiers historically return a single overall grade only, with full subgrades reserved for higher tiers — check the tier's fine print if subgrades matter to you.

Declared value rules

Both graders require your declared value to sit inside the tier's ceiling. Under-declaring a card that grades into four figures can get the order bumped to a pricier tier and re-invoiced.

Real cost per card

Budget the tier fee plus shipping both ways, insurance and any per-order handling. For Palworld cards trading in single digits, grading usually costs more than the card, so grade for personal collection or for genuinely scarce chase cards.
