Before You Start

What You’ll Need

Have these three things ready and you can submit right away.

  1. 01

    An account

    Free — just an email address and a password. You can also create one during checkout.

  2. 02

    Card details

    Card name, set and rarity. You can find a set by the code printed on the card (e.g. SV8a).

  3. 03

    A credit card

    We accept major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, JCB and American Express.

Step by Step

Submission Steps

Follow the highlighted areas on each screen, in order.

Submission screen:Open the submission page

Open the submission page

Click “Submit” at the top of the page. You start with an empty submission. Choose “Add a Card” to enter cards one at a time, or “Add Multiple Cards” if you have several.

Submission screen:Service and card game

Enter your card details

Service and card game

A panel opens from the right. First choose a service, then the card game.

Grading
We verify authenticity, assess the card’s condition and give it a numeric grade.
Authentication only
We verify authenticity only — no numeric grade; the label shows “A”.
Crossover
We remove a card from a PSA, CGC or BGS slab and grade it again at Gemix.
Submission screen:Choose the languages

Choose the languages

Choose the card’s language and the language printed on the slab label.

Submission screen:Find the set by its code

Find the set by its code

Type the code printed on the card (e.g. SV8a) into the Set field, and matching sets appear in a list below. Pick yours. If it isn’t listed, you can enter it manually.

POINT

You can also search by set name.

Submission screen:Card name and rarity

Card name and rarity

Once you’ve chosen the set, enter the card name and rarity. The set and rarity are optional.

POINT

If the rarity isn’t in the list, you can enter it manually.

Submission screen:Declared value and minimum grade

Declared value and minimum grade

The declared value is the card’s market price in its ungraded condition. It sets the grading fee and is the upper limit of our coverage. A minimum grade (MG) is optional. Finish with “Add”.

Minimum grade
If the card doesn’t reach your minimum grade, it’s either returned ungraded or sealed in a slab as authentication only — you choose which when you submit. Leave MG blank if you just want a numeric grade.

POINT

Use recent sold prices on eBay and similar marketplaces as a guide.

Submission screen:Adding many cards

Adding many cards

“Add Multiple Cards” lets you enter one card per row, like a spreadsheet. Use “+” at the bottom to add a row. New rows start with the same service, card game, languages and declared value as the row above.

Submission screen:Choose a turnaround

Choose a turnaround

Once you add cards, your estimate appears on the right. Choose how quickly you want your cards back and the total updates. Then click “Review submission”.

  • Regularwithin 60 business days
  • Expresswithin 15 business days

Submission screen:Sign in

Sign in

If you aren’t signed in, a sign-in screen appears before checkout. New to Gemix? Choose “Create an account” and set an email address and password.

Submission screen:Return address and payment

Review and submit

Return address and payment

Check where we’ll send your graded cards, and the credit card you’ll pay with. If you live outside Japan, we recommend Blackship: choose it and enter the 6-digit number from your Blackship Building Name.

POINT

If you haven’t added an address or payment method yet, you can add them on this screen.

Submission screen:Submit

Submit

Check your cards and the estimate, then click “Confirm & Submit” on the right. You won’t be charged when you submit — your registered credit card is charged when grading is complete, and we’ll email your receipt then.
