Please note

Turnaround time does not begin until the order has been entered into our grading system.
All terms & conditions are subject to change.

For both the Basic Bulk ($16/card, up to $499 DV) and Basic ($18/card, up to $499 DV) service levels, if GameTime determines a card’s graded Declared Value was inaccurately estimated, and actually falls between $500 and $999 instead of $499 or less, the customer will be charged $23 for that particular card versus the higher rate of $25.

Estimated Turnaround Times are estimates only and not guaranteed. A service level’s Turnaround Time is the estimated number of business days that an order will be completed and either shipped back, or marked ready for pickup, once scanned into our facility.

These times are based on, and may be impacted by, GameTime’s submission volume and capacity and other unforeseen circumstances. Turnaround Times may change rapidly without notice as conditions change.
