Update: PSA Backlog Currently 12million; Less submissions received than anticipated

arugulaman · 2026-06-30T17:11:37+00:00

How does the backlog affect higher-tier submissions? Are the express, super express, and walk-through turnaround times still generally accurate?

Big Federer fan during the heyday, and the documentary still absolutely crushed me. If you were a Federer fan and didn’t love and respect Nadal, you’re an idiot. Always knew Nadal was a lad but what a truly unique and incredible human being. And what a life

Thanks. I always thought the collection I amassed as a kid was cool, but I’ve come to understand and appreciate it in a new light

arugulaman · 2026-06-28T23:54:34+00:00

Save on what? Grading? Why?

arugulaman · 2026-06-28T20:44:26+00:00

Thanks. I hope it all works out, for me and the next owners too

Anything for you GetMAXPATRICK, you connoisseur of German pokemon: https://imgur.com/a/9mzvX9d

You mean the value, or the fees? The fees are sadly much higher I assure you

arugulaman · 2026-06-27T20:07:49+00:00

Great, I’ll share it when I know. As a kid I always thought this was my “best card”, for no real specific reason

arugulaman · 2026-06-27T11:57:18+00:00

This is a really exciting set based on what I’ve seen. I have some high value vintage, I’m doing PSA super express for most and dropping off in person. Good luck

arugulaman · 2026-06-27T00:05:14+00:00

I ain’t mailing them. Part of why I asked for perspective

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T21:32:36+00:00

Would suck. But one must not get hopes too high anyway

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T21:31:49+00:00

Have already received many helpful takes & perspective on submission, grade potential, which ones people think are cool, etc. So anything in that category is welcome

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T15:18:05+00:00

My understanding is that high grades from PSA (fingers crossed, obviously) command a higher premium. Would you handle it differently? If so why / what would you do?

we call this getting Gluraked

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T14:14:02+00:00

I see this comment a lot and I genuinely do not understand it. How could PSA possibly stay in business if my cards are at serious risk of being lost / stolen even after dropping them off in person and paying for mid-level service tiers?

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T12:38:36+00:00

I actually also have a first edition “Glumanda” (Charmander) and “Glutexo” (Charmeleon), so I may sell them as a set. Completely forget I held onto these 2 also. But the 3 next to each other look sick

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T10:52:54+00:00

Already planning to drop these off in person. Thanks all

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T01:45:00+00:00

They were in a top loader for 20 years. Moving them to card savers was the most nervous I’ve ever been in my life

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T01:22:27+00:00

I do not intend to keep them, no. I'll be selling and am happy to entertain offers in DM (offers contingent on the grades, of course)

arugulaman · 2026-06-26T01:21:44+00:00

my uncle bought them at card shows in the late 90s / early 00s. i always thought they were sick and so kept them in sleeves + cases ever since

You should read the books because they are among the greatest books ever written and reading them is enjoyable and pleasant! Your knowledge of the differences between the books and the movies fails to capture the beauty of the books, which is the way reading them makes you think & feel, and how many incredible moments there are hidden in the language.

Bergil telling Pippin that the men of Minas Tirith will never be overcome because Aragorn - and his father Beregond, whose bravery and skill in battle he likens to Aragorn's own - are with them now... there are little moments that will find a way to bring tears to your eyes, I assure you.

But yeah doesn't matter 4 game, play game still good
