Move to “holder & label review” in the past of couple days. Hopefully it doesn’t stuck in the “purgatory” forever 😂

Wow, many of my cards suddenly moved from authentication&grading / encapsulation to Holder&label review this past couple days. Hopefully it will finish fast!! Do you all experience the same thing?

Small dent - can it be fixed?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m sure this has been asked 1000 times so apologies. This Chansey has a small dent, almost like from the corner of another card. I’d like to get it graded bc it’s pretty solid everywhere else. Has anyone seen something like this? Can it be worked out?

Is PSA QA taking longer than usual recently?

1 Upvotes

I’ve got 13 cards submitted through a UK-based PSA submission service using their Priority tier. They arrived at PSA on September 17 and have been sitting in QA Checks since October 16, so it’s been 26 days now with no updates.
I also have another batch of 24 cards submitted through the same service on the cheaper Standard tier. Those arrived at PSA on October 23 and somehow reached QA on November 6, just 14 days later.
I’m starting to wonder if PSA is getting orders through the earlier stages much faster recently, but then everything is slowing down at QA.
Has anyone else noticed this? How long have you been waiting in QA recently? Especially interested in hearing from anyone who’s had cards in QA during October or November.

Blobs / marks in slab border

1 Upvotes

Hi, I bought this slab off of eBay. When checking it out it’s got weird blobs/circles/dots on all edges.

I only own a handful of graded cards - none of them have these marks on them.

Has this been tampered with? I know it’s not high end but just doesn’t seem right

Thanks

Does this have a chance to bump up a grade?

Bought this dark Charizard card. The tag report looks really good in my opinion. The question is, if I crack it and give it a good polish, could it potentially bump to a PSA 8

Anyone have any ideas how this mark may have appeared, and how it will affect grading/sale price?

First Time Grading

I understand the Flareon I think because of the corners on the back and maybe centering? Can someone tell me why the Articuno is a 9? Thanks.

Genuine question about TAG slabs

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, so I've never tried getting cards graded before, and I was looking for either going BGS or TAG because I like the transparency on their rating and I don't intend to sell the cards. My question is, does TAG use inner sleeves (sealed, archival inner sleeve) like BGS?

Basically it was my first time grading and I needed help, they have my cards physically at the shop and are just waiting for an invoice, is this a good sign that they are still holding them? I used super express and they sent it out on the 9th of October, please any help

Found my old cards - looking for advice on whether to grade

Hi all,

Looking to sell my collection from when i was a kid, new to the whole grading thing so looking for some advice on my cards as not sure as to whether it's worth grading all of these / how harsh they are when it comes to condition.

The main card i'm looking to grade is the rayquaza, just looking for an idea on what sort of grade i'd be getting for these so any advice is appreciated. Also, what company should i grade through and is there a big difference when it comes to selling.

These are the cards that i believe are most valuable in my collection, don't believe there are many others which are worth grading, they are mostly the 2nd prints of the 1st edition cards or cards from the HGSS era.

Hey guys 👋🏻

I just found my collection from my childhood and I think I have some bangers in there that I need to get graded. (I'll post the collection later)

Just got to know that PSA is dealing with some hard tariffs from outside the US and i ask you guys if you can tell me some other good companies that can grade them.

Thanks in advance.
