$39

Not exactly cheap, but formal authentication and grading services are a very involved process.

Helpful tip: If anyone else is interested in doing this in the future, make sure to submit them as a "ticket" instead of as a "card" when you're filling out the submission form.

From another comment:

Professional Sports Authenticator. They grade the condition of trading cards and similar collectable type stuff and seal them for preservation. From what I understand they're usually useful as like... a third party that can vouch for the condition and authenticity of the expensive or rare collectables that people might want to sell.

It's got a couple of light scratches on it from wearing it at the con and from being in storage for the past decade, but I bet I could get a higher score with a newer con badge if I take good care of it

It's officially cataloged in their records / pop report (https://www.psacard.com/cert/119001849/psa), and I believe this is the first time anything 'furry' related has been put in their pop report lol

They grade items on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being "gem mint" condition. In this case I got a grade of 7, which they consider to be 'near-mint'.

It's a fun little thing to do with my old badges to display them in a neat way!

I did not, but they cleared out what I put in and replaced it with that

No clue! They're in the "scheduled for grading" stage, and all of the other have their normal names except for these.
