In October, GameStop Corp. (GME) announced a major partnership to grade trading cards. The retailer said it will become an authorized PSA dealer, and PSA will provide authentication and grading services for trading cards through select GameStop (GME) stores across the United States.

As part of its trading card program, GameStop (GME) said customers can drop off ungraded trading cards at a participating GameStop (GME) location. All cards must be submitted in penny sleeves and card savers. Customers can then follow their cards through the PSA process, where they are authenticated, graded, and encapsulated.

GameStop (GME) edged 0.7% higher in premarket trading. The videogame retailer is expected to report Q3 earnings sometime during the first two weeks of December.
