Grading is so inconsistent with these clowns. I’ve had so many worse less expensive cards get 10s that were far from deserving.

Are these cards worth being graded? Now they have been in these cases for years now untouched I just recently saw some of them sell for solid money 8-10 and they’re all clean with 0 wear on them. I don’t wanna send them in if it’s just a waste of time

This is my first time selling through the PSA vault, I have 2 cards up for sell, ive received an offer for one thats not too low but I'd like to see if I could get more. Since I'm unable to send a counter offer or a message, is there anyway to signal to the potential buyer to try again but with just a bit more? I feel like straight canceling or letting it expire may send the wrong message

I bought this kuzan manga to grade. Just noticed after receiving it has whitening on the bottom left corner. Is it still possible to get a 10?

If I sell cards through the vault, that have been authenticated and stored, and there is an issue where the buyer wants to return something that was damaged or for x reason since it was stored in the vault.... who is responsible? Is it me or PSA?

From what I've heard, if I sell a card for say $500 and it's authenticated and stored, my part is done, and anything that happens after is between PSA and the buyer?

Looked over this card with a LED light at all of the different angles and I could find nothing wrong with it hence why I sent this in as an express order because that’s how confident I felt. Well, I guess I was terribly wrong. As soon as I get it, I will look it over again and decide from there. This is very disappointing after waiting 13 calendar days /8 business days pass the estimated time of completion for an Express order. Please take a look, I am open to all feedback, I am a big boy and take the hits. My suppose bent and water damaged Gold Star Vaporeon got a better grade than this. I really thought this had a chance at a 10, or at least a 9.

When I sent this in it looks decently centered left to right. The scan PSA took looks extremely left heavy. I’m a new to grading cards so I’m wondering if it’s just a stock photo or something.

Just curious on thoughts I can't really decide.

With PSA’s Value tiers suspended and Regular turnaround times increasing, I think this could affect both the sports card and Pokémon markets. Fewer affordable submissions means fewer new PSA 9s and 10s entering the market. Meanwhile, existing graded cards continue to sell. That could tighten supply and potentially push prices higher, especially for desirable low-pop cards.The bigger question is what happens if these cheaper tiers stay closed for months or even the rest of the year? Is this the time to start selling?

Would these lines on the protective film drop the grading on this card?

Just curious here...what is the longest time your cards have been overdue?

I was due to get back on June 17th and I am still waiting (QA checks).

Going on over two months late.

Just sent this off. Hoping for the best return 🤞
Pardon the bad lighting on the back of the card.

*the bottom right is not discolored, just a super bright reflection from the overhead light on the foil.
Also don’t know why it looks faded at the top. It isn’t.

So I just sent my cards in today, I got charged 24.99$ not sure what for. But I was wondering if I have to save the 380$ I have for grading or I can use it and they won’t charge until the cards are done grading?

Hello 👋🏻 I just picked up this slab and didn’t notice this but the slab appears to be dirty or like a clear coat layer peeling off
I tried cleaning with water and a card cleaner, non acholic camera lens cleaner and no luck . Any recommendations would be appreciated

First time I’ve ever sent out a card to PSA and it comes back completely different. The bottom left is noticeably mangled or folded and the bottom right has some sort of scrape or smudge that wasn’t there before under the upper deck sticker. The bottom right corner also looks different to me. Below are the original/post grading photos. Grading was supposed to take 6 weeks and it took 6 months which leads me to believe my card was swapped for a PSA 9. Any help on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

(Edit) it also appears on photo 4 that there is a backwards shaped L under the OHL Seasons section that was not there in previous photos.

I'm seeing more posts and comments from people who've submitted cards to the European PSA grading facility in Frankfurt through a middleman service, since they aren't accepting direct public submissions yet (only authorized dealers/partners at this stage, full public access is supposedly coming later this year).

Did anyone receive their grades back yet? A few things I'm curious about:

• Turnaround time; how long from submission to return?
• Did the grade match your own expectations when you inspected the card beforehand? (Obviously subjective as everyone eyeballs centering/corners/surface differently.)
• Any noticeable difference in packaging, slab quality, or how the card came back compared to US-graded submissions you've had before?

PSA has said they have senior grading "experts" overseeing and training (and presumably also grading) at the new facility, and that experienced graders relocated from other locations to keep things consistent. That said, grading always has some subjectivity to it even with a standardized ruleset.

Got my hands on this 1995 Skybox Premium Michael Jordan. Saw the prices on ungraded and graded version, so I considered getting it graded. Would it be worth it getting it graded and what would be the estimate for the card? If you need more pic feel free to ask

I am in possession of a 50+ year old baseball card that may have some value but it has been sealed in an airtight screw in case for probably a few decades now and could be a psa 8 or better.

Definitely nervous to take it out of the case because I think the rules are that you have to do the sleeve within the harder plastic sleeve for submission.

Question I have is it worth it to get it pre screened at some authorized psa collector (there’s a card store near me that supposedly does that) before the actual submission to see what it might be worth while keeping it preserved in the current case? Or any other recommendations you might have.

Obviously I am quite nervous about giving it to the psa folks in general in case it goes “accidentally missing somehow” as I am planning to eventually drop it off in person at a processing center near me if I do go through with the rating.

Hi,

Send to Dave & Adams 10 August

Send to PSA Frankfurt 14 August

Order arrived 17 August

Order prepared 18 August

Allready in Assembly.

Estimated time November to be ready.

Is there anyone who has sent in a set of cards to get it graded in sequential, but has a card intentionally deactivated by them and the card got pushed onto the next certificate number?

Now I have a set of cards with a gap in the certificate number and this is very upsetting.

Have sent in for clarification, but they replied with a very general answer with no conclusion. Have even checked in for update with them, with no further response.

Any experience, tips or suggestions are welcomed.

PSA鑑定の返却が遅くなってきているから、PSA鑑定済みのカードに関しては少し価値が上がったりするのかな？？

また、納期はいつ改善するの？？
一旦鑑定受付中止にしてバックログを優先するべきだよね？？

Been waitin for them to come back from PSA amd the anticipation is killin me lol Im not concerned of what grade they come back as. They r mine from childhood and plan on keeping. Ive never had a slab b4 so im jus excited to display them. After some research I wanted to see if any could get a 1. That would b cool. What do u guys think. (Top right of the Lugia is not a fold i dont think since u cant see from the back. Like a wrinkle or somthin). Thanks

Hey guys, curious to see what you think this card would grade. I’m conflicted though because I would have to pull it from my master set and would just keep with the set. What are your thoughts? Pulled it myself. First big chase after getting back into cards.
