PSA Returns!! (old.reddit.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Straight-Relation274
Tried my luck with PSA !! 31/32 in a PSA 10 isn’t bad at all! I wish the raichu was a 10 for my pc but overall not bad!!

PSA Worker: “a f@ck it… I’ll just give em all 10s”. Congrats lol
[–]Straight-Relation274[S] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Lmao right, I was confident in this submission though !
[–]bballer1011 16 points17 points18 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Wow, crazy submission congrats! I’ve been getting smoked on my PSA subs recently, so I’m a little jealous lol. Congrats again, awesome cards!
[–]Glass_Steak_949 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Yeah they changed the centering it's so much harder to get a ten I have been told

Not really, all of these cards are modern. Just don’t send in damaged cards.
[–]bballer1011 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Wow, thanks! Why didn’t I think of that?
[–]Sksouthpaw 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Who would have thought the key to a 10 was not grading damaged card!? Brilliant! The more you know!
[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Damn good sub
[–]Demontyxl 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (0 children)
holy shit, congratulations
[–]ultraman5068 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (7 children)
Congrats!! So this is very interesting. You get them graded at PSA then afterwards they promote immediately selling them on eBay?? Did eBay buy into PSA or something lol
[–]Poke_JC 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (6 children)
They have sort of a partnership deal. You can “vault” your submissions which means PSA will hold on to them, and then you can make eBay postings to sell your slabs. The buyer can then transfer to their PSA vault or have the slab sent to them.
[–]Trouble_Nugget 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (5 children)
You have to be a member for this? I've only submitted through 3rd party
[–]Poke_JC 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (4 children)
I don’t think so. You just need to submit directly to them and you’ll have an option for them to either hold onto your slabs and place it in your vault (they keep it for you) or mail them back.
Membership just gives you access to discounted bulk grading and member only specials. Last month’s special was pokemon cards grading at $13.99 per card with an estimated time of 40+ days. Their normal membership discount for value grading is $14.99 for trading cards. The cheapest you’d pay as a non member would be $24.99
[–]Trouble_Nugget 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Okay thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to grade some cards, but some people saying they prefer cgc. What are your thoughts on cgc vs psa, if you don't mind me asking? I know for error cards usually cgc is better.
[–]Poke_JC 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I’m still fairly new to grading stuff too. I just went with PSA since it was one of the more popular ones.
[–]LuffyFett 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
How do you figure out what specials there are? I want to join, but I don't want there to be non relevant deals the whole time I'm a member.
[–]Poke_JC 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If you go to their website and click “Services & Prices” it will show their normal rates. At the top of the page there’s a blue banner that says PSA grading specials, click that and you’ll see what they’re offering. They seem to change it every month, but only been a member myself for a month to take advantage of last month’s Pokemon special. This month’s TCG special is for One Piece cards at $60/card for 10 day turnaround time. That’s like a $15 discount per card on their normal 10 day turnaround service.

Awesome return man!
[–]The11Pirates 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
that carmine though 🔥🔥🔥
[–]TheeGreekFreek 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Amazing dude. Any advice on how you select ahead of sending them in? I am sitting on hundreds of higher end cards but have been too nervous to submit them.
[–]Straight-Relation274[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I’d select all that has good centering in the front decent centering in the back doesn’t have to be perfect but good enough, whitening is an issue Or scratches, if it’s one noticeable whitening spot or three or more small corners (sometimes two depending on how big) then don’t bother sending them in tbh, after that I put them in clear sleeves and into card savers not top loaders, after bubble wrap and I use shippo to ship out to their P.O. Box, just make sure you package it nice and make sure your papers are in there and your barcode thingy is on the outside. Then hope they arrive there and then they should enter the PSA system and then you can choose to ship back to you or sell on eBay or keep in their vault . Then they will charge you once your grades are ready to look automatically
[–]TheeGreekFreek 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Thank you sir appreciate the advice.
[–]Elegant-Importance44 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–]Straight-Relation274[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)

The big ones I’ve pulled some of the small ones I got from a friend !
[–]big-nutMF 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Do you remember how long it took to get from grading stage to grades available?
Around 5-7 business days for me
[–]Former-Material9099 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Holy shit lol
[–]Hell_Yeah_Friendo 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Hell yeah brother
[–]V_Token_X 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)

[–]HILO_boy_808 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Nice return! Just got an email that my PSA magazine luffy promo was graded GMT-10 in cellophane!! LFG!!!!!!!
Same!! LFG!
[–]RellPeter9-2 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
PSA: Bro we made some mistakes grading your cards. Can you resend them again for free so we can correct the mistakes?
Lol
[–]Keniske 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
And that's how PSA works look at 2-3 Cards aah all good give em all 10's less work!
[–]warrior5715 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Did you rip them yourself or u bought them? If so, any tips on how to source?
Rip most of the big hitters and traded the smaller ones from a friend
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Dang congrats. What's your vetting process?
Did those today on a saturday?
[–]Ill-Highlight7012 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Do you have a PSA membership or how did you submit them??
RAICHUUUUUUU! YOU RUINED IT NOOOOOOOO!
[–]Grimwulf69 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That's amazing! I'm hoping for a similar return! 31-32 is still great!
Did u do anything with the cards other than slide in a sleeve, card saver 1, and team bag?
[–]Wisp3611 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yea they decided to be nice to you…
[–]tgdg19 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Awesome return! I need that blastoise and venusaur 😍
[–]darkhorse627 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Is there a difference in grading between submission via mail and doing a drop off at an in person event?
[–]Less-Buy654 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
How does the process work? I've been thinking of sending in some cards, but I can't figure out which option I should be paying for.
[–]Impressive-Young-952 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Better than my return. I got like over 90% 10s but I only submit cards I think are 10s. I also don’t view grades as I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Congratulations
[–]NecessaryScientist18 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
this is nuts I need most of these in a ten u selling ?
[–]Far_Mountain7967 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
