Visiting The Poke Court

1. Do I need an appointment to visit The Poké Court?

Nope! Walk right in. Just tell the front desk that you're here for The Poké Court and sign in.

2. What are your hours? Are you really not open on weekends?

We're open Monday - Friday from 11:30AM ET - 5:30PM ET. Unfortunately, the building we're located in has limited public hours and is not open on the weekends. We wish we could be though!

3. Help! I can't find you...

We know our location can be a bit tricky to find. We're located inside of a co-working location called Spaces so you won't see any signs for The Poké Court from the street. Once you're inside Spaces and have signed in at the front desk, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and turn left immediately out of the elevator. We're the first door at the start of the hallway (#253).

No, ungraded singles and the majority of our Vintage sealed products are only available in store.

Grading Services

1. Can I submit my cards for grading through The Poké Court? How much does it cost?

Yes, we offer PSA grading submission services! For more info about the process, pricing, etc., check out our PSA Submission Service page.

2. Is my card worth grading?

There are a couple of factors that can help determine whether your card is worth grading:

  • Personal Preference - If you have a favorite card that you're looking to authenticate, protect, memorialize, etc. for your personal collection, then our opinion is that it's always worth getting it graded ☺️
  • Graded Value - Take a look at eBay or PriceCharting for the current value of a PSA 9 or 10 for the card(s) you're interested in grading and if that value isn't high enough to offset the grading fee, then generally we would not recommend grading.
  • Card Condition - Card condition can be difficult and subjective to judge. There are 4 condition categories by which PSA judges your cards and the closer to perfect across those categories your card is, the higher it will score. Generally if your card looks like it'll score less than a PSA 9, we don't recommend grading (vintage cards can be an exception). We're happy to take a look at your card in person, but please understand that we aren't PSA graders and can't guarantee what grade your card will get.
