TCG Card Shop Simulator works very similarly to how you would manage a real-life card store. Besides hosting tournaments and managing your merchandise, you also get to sell some of your cards for extra cash. But first, you need to send them out for grading before you can set the price on your most valuable cards.
How to Send Cards for Grading in TCG Card Shop Simulator
Grading cards is one way to sell any collected cards in TCG Card Shop Simulator for a higher price. If you are looking for some quick ways to get money, then this is one of them. Luckily, your phone does have an app that can give you a fair grade for your card. But first, you need to sort through all your collected cards and find your most valuable cards.
I recommend sifting through all the cards and finding the ones that are above $100. Anything that reaches $500 is the best and will probably be the highest graded. Once you have found such cards, bring up your phone and select the Grading app. This will take you to the Cardinal’s Grading menu.
Select the New Submission option and select the available empty slot. Place the cards that you wish to send for grading; you can select up to 8 cards here.
Selecting the Delivery Service
On the right side of the menu is where you need to pick your delivery service. You could pick any of the following.
| Service | Days taken for delivery | Cost (per card) |
| Value | 12 | $10 |
| Standard | 7 | $40 |
| Express | 4 | $200 |
| Premium | 2 | $1500 |
I won’t recommend going for the Premium delivery service unless you have a lot of cash in your pockets already. Rather, the Standard service is the best; unless you have a bit more to spare, then go for the Express service. If you are just starting out and don’t have a lot to spare, then going for the Value service is the only way to do it.
Note: There will be an extra $10 added to the delivery fee during checkout, so that’s something to keep in mind while picking a service.
Waiting for Delivery
Depending on which delivery service you have picked IN TCG Card Shop Simulator, you can track the progress of your shipment whenever you visit the Grading app on your phone. You can also create a new submission if you wish to send more cards. You can have up to 4 active delivery slots, with each slot having 8 card slots. That brings the card total up to 32 cards that you can send at a time.
Placing the Cards for Sale
Once the delivery has reached your store, look for the fancy packed boxes amongst the other parcels. After uncovering the contents, look for cards that have the 8, 9, and 10 grades. These can be placed at your display table so customers can purchase them.
Before that, you need to set the price. I recommend setting the base price at least 10% – 20% above market value, especially for high-value cards. If you don’t find anyone buying them, then rework your prices and try again.
FAQs
When is the best time to submit my cards for evaluation?
Try to send your cards out for delivery anytime before 1 PM, as anything sent after that will take one extra day to arrive.
Can I resend the same card for grading?
Yes, but there are risks associated with this. You could either receive the card with the same grading, or have it lowered or increased. You will still lose out on the delivery cost, so it is best to send out newer cards for grading instead.
Should I send cards for grading?
Yes, grading cards is a great way to hike up the price of some of your valuable cards. If you wish to sell cards for money, then this is the way to go.
Can I sell cards without grading?
It is always better to grade your cards before selling them so you can figure out the worth of your cards. Without this, you could either be underselling or overselling your cards, and customers might not buy them.
