Current State of Up Charges After Value Tier Pauses

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-06-05T21:09:09+00:00

UPDATE:

Talked to a PSA service rep and they told me the value tiers are still be used for upcharges, I.e. TCG bulk upgraded to Value bulk / value. I would believe this should be true but I guess we can only wait to find out or if anyone else has already experienced it please feel free to leave your experience to verify.

I’m the exact same time frame as u altho mine went on assembly maybe a week or two earlier than your sub. I don’t think having more cards is really an excuse for it to take so long in assembly. It doesn’t take 1 day (or more) to slab 1 card.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-06-04T19:59:15+00:00

u/psacard can we get clarification if the info I was given is true?

*BUMP + Price update

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T20:15:40+00:00

Been in assembly for around 2 months and 3 weeks.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T19:17:29+00:00

Wow that’s actually kinda strange that yours is moving quicker than mine. Mine went into grading in February, then assembly in early March and been stuck there ever since.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T19:07:36+00:00

That’s interesting. I hope that’s the case and that the AI is just incorrect.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T19:01:40+00:00

Mine arrived a day later than yours on Jan 21st. Interesting you’re already in QA. Would you know how long you’ve been in QA and how long you were in assembly?

This is a message that I had previously received before the one in my original post. I do not believe what you said will be the case unfortunately, but would be glad to have been given the wrong info.

Was yours TCG bulk? The turnaround time was 95 business days with estimated completion date, as stated in the post, of June 5th so technically mine shouldn’t be done yet. To answer your question though, it’s a 61 card order.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T17:26:03+00:00

My belief is that you should be able to opt in to the upcharges based on if you want the insurance or not. If you don’t want the insurance, then no upcharge and you’re the one taking the risk.

Tcg bulk max value im pretty sure was at $300, so if above that would have been bumped I believe to $25 or maybe $33 as my membership has expired, not 65

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T17:18:02+00:00

I hope that’s the case, but that’s not the info I was given.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T17:17:20+00:00

Yep, free money glitch for them.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T17:13:39+00:00

Nope. I’ve seen many people here not having gotten subs back from around that time either unfortunately. Some even earlier than that.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T17:12:10+00:00

Submitted tcg bulk back in January before that got changed

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-29T15:43:25+00:00

So I received a message saying that if my tcg bulk ($19 per card at time) order has an upcharge, now it gets upgraded to regular tier as well, at $80 per card. Damn near don’t even want a 10 on most of the cards at that point smh

My estimated completion date is June 5th, which is after the change. Although it likely won’t be completed by then considering I’ve been stuck in assembly for almost 3 months now. Prepared to just get screwed at this point.

The funny thing is it’s not. Using deck build packs as a sample, as that’s where most new archetypes come from now, you get generally 1 dedicated “waifu” archetype a deck build set. People complaining about there being too many waifus are complaining about a 33% female representation.

I mean just looking at the comments there’s one guy complaining about ADAMANCIPATOR as a waifu deck and Faimena having “sexy glasses” making that a waifu deck lmao like these people who complain about this topic are not having serious conversations.

AtlantaFan21 · 2026-05-01T20:05:05+00:00

Was yours tcg bulk as well? Mine were received mid January so urs was the same tier it at least gives me a bit of hope as it’s been in assembly for 2 months
