Handle cards by the edges with clean hands, and put each in a soft "penny" sleeve, then a semi-rigid holder (like a Card Saver) — not a hard top-loader, which most graders don't accept for submission. Don't use tape, glue, or anything that touches the card. Inspect each card first under good light so you're only paying to grade cards likely to earn a worthwhile grade. Fill out the submission form accurately, declaring value honestly since fees and insurance scale with it. Then package securely with padding and tracked, insured shipping. If this feels like a lot, many local card shops handle submissions for you.
