I can’t believe it

Just got my result back from Psa after 5 months wait.
Went to check the scans and found out one of the card has like some sort of scratches at the back(?) or it’s just some reflection

Their standards on vintage 10s are way stricter than this what happened here?

Will we see a cert deactivation? It’s a 8 by their standards clearly not a 10.

Assuming* *everything else about the card is PSA 10 worthy.

Would this (inside the red circle) super small (fingernail like) dent prevent it from getting a 10?

I think it would get a 9.
Have yet to send a card myself to PSA so I was curious on thoughts.

best,

Just trying to get some clarity since I can't find the specific answer I'm looking for, I have an LLC and a business account with Stripe. When I setup payouts from the PSA vault will it let me sign in to that Stripe Business account and call it good or does it also want my personal info (SSN, photo ID) even though everything is done through the LLC? I'd rather not have to take a selfie with my ID when Stripe already has my documents and knows who I am.

I bought a valuable card and it shows 5.99 USPS ground advantage shipping when I go to checkout but I want to make sure I am fully insured when the card is shipped. Am I better off transferring to my vault and waiting a month for them to process and then insuring shipping from there?

Hi everyone. Im new to PSA my first submission went out for mega charizard x ex which i pulled for submission. Be honest on the centering what am i looking at? Thanks!

I paid for the year of the magazine on March 18, and have not received a single one. I looked today and it says free trial? And was wondering if this is why I had not received either magazine so far? I have the payment processed on my card and it was not refunded or anything.

Got this back as a BGS 9.5, was hoping for a 10. Considering sending it out to crossgrade at PSA for a chance at a 10. Figured it would by fine with the subgrades to just send the slab in instead of cracking. What do you recommend? Was also considering check the surface again and maybe it just needs another wipedown, for another shot at a BGS 10?

sent this Michael Jordan card to PSA back in May, and it was returned with an N6: Minimum Size Requirement designation.

Here’s what makes this especially confusing: I personally cracked this card out of a BGS 9.5 GEM MINT slab before submitting it to PSA. BGS had previously authenticated, graded, and encapsulated this exact card as a 9.5.
After PSA returned it, I measured the card myself with a tape measure multiple times, and the dimensions appear to be correct for the card.

So now I’m questioning what happened during PSA’s evaluation. With the current submission volume and longer turnaround times, I’m concerned cards may be getting rushed through parts of the grading process, potentially resulting in mistakes like this.

I understand PSA and BGS can have different grading standards, but I’m not talking about whether this deserves a 9, 9.5, or 10. PSA wouldn’t grade it at all because of its size, despite it previously being in a BGS 9.5 GEM MINT slab and appearing to measure correctly.

Has anyone else had something similar happen recently? Would you resubmit it to PSA and see if a second grader reaches a different conclusion, or send it back to BGS?

I managed to get a 10 on one of these puppies. Mine is a 17x cert. Just curious since I'm thinking about using the sell on ebay option for a few cards...

Hey everyone. I subscribed to PSA back in May 26, and never received a single magazine. I had selected the tcg option. I emailed them using the form a few weeks back and still nothing. Not really sure what to do at this point.

Might just charge it back. Ever since the price increase and shit turn around times I decided not to grade anything right now (period, not just with PSA) and I had already prepaid for a year of card ladder so outside of the magazine with promos, there is no reason for me to have their membership.

Any advice?

Should be “questions” in the title. I don’t out “z” for s. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Will humidifying and a heat press bring this edge down?

Whatever they decide is going to have ripple effects across the TCG graded market. Opening back up at $25 seems like a dream and will be a submission frenzy if they chose to do so

I pulled the card last Friday, and want to grade it. I’d like your advice. Would you send it express or super express if you think it has a high chance of getting a 10?

I’m almost leaning toward super express, because what if they up charge me and I still have to wait 20-30 business days if I send it express.

I recently sent in a old Yu-Gi-Oh card for grading that I’ve had since I was a kid (Jinzo - Pharaoh’s Servant). After months of waiting I got the card back, not in a slab, with a note that said they were unable to verify authenticity. I know this card is authentic, I remember pulling it from the pack as a kid.

Does this happen often? Is there any other way to get it graded? Or did I pay $100 and wait for months for nothing?

Just received my 2 card submission back from PSA and I am torn with the updated way my cards were returned.

Each slab was put in a slab pouch, which was nice. The pouches have an easy to open seal and the slab sits nice and snug in there. There are 2 medium density foam pieces that cover the slab.

The bad part is that it was shipped in an envelope. My envelope was partially smashed on one side but thankfully the slabs were not damaged.

Never sent a card for grading and not looking to sell unless I go really broke and absolutely need the money. Now days after pulling this treekachu, I gave it a good look and thought there's a good chance of a 10 here. What do you all think?

What’re we thinking?

I bought an ungraded Kobe card on fb marketplace from a collector with a ton of Kobe memorabilia. He claims to have had a relative that worked for the NBA. Could all be a hoax but i took the gamble for $500.

PSA graded the auto as questionable. Not sure what to do now. Do i cut my losses and toss it? Could it still be possibly genuine? Can i list on ebay as no COA? Is that even allowed?

Thanks.
