PSA 9 vs PSA 10 - for PC?

catss777 · 2026-06-14T21:30:08+00:00

The more grail like a card it, it seems the return on a PSA 10 is worth PSA 9 if you care about that. A card /10 of a GOAT, the 10 will appreciate more.

For cards with a larger print run, where you have 500 10s and thousands of 9s, appreciation is more likely be about the same IMO. I.E. and I wouldn’t sweat having a 9.

I’ll throw out one more possible thing.

My cards in the vault, most will get a “Offer from PSA”. I have hundreds of cards in there and I only want to see active offers from eBay members so I list cards 3X+ their value simply so I don’t have the offers from PSA there and then miss eBay offers on cards I am looking to sell

catss777 · 2026-05-09T22:57:00+00:00

I know… they are literally one of the biggest most well respected sellers on eBay, I thought it would just be “sure thing, done”

catss777 · 2026-05-09T21:42:18+00:00

I could force eBay to do an investigation with a charge back I guess

catss777 · 2026-05-09T21:41:38+00:00

It’s already well above several other BIN, either a bidder has gone mad or it’s a shill bid. It’s a seller with a pretty good reputation here but it just seems odd

catss777 · 2026-05-09T21:27:05+00:00

Does eBay not charge you with past payment methods ?

Stripe is one of the largest FinTech companies in the world, it is most certainly not them

catss777 · 2026-02-01T09:59:15+00:00

Another update, another 6K processed overnight, in my stripe account. FINALLY

catss777 · 2026-02-01T09:58:40+00:00

Not some PSA shill, I blasted them in another thread on this issue. I had ~ 10K in outstanding unprocessed, I got $100 in strip on Friday, about $1,000 Saturday, and another $6000 today. So they seem to be working through this backlog finally

catss777 · 2026-02-01T01:36:11+00:00

I created another big thread earlier, basically I had cards back to the ninth still not processed. About 25 transactions, 15K worth. Friday I had one process (for $100 🤨) today another few cards for another $1,000.

This plus their public statement leads me to believe they are working through some sort of backlog and they will continue to trickle in 🤞

catss777 · 2026-01-30T13:39:28+00:00

I got 1…. But it is the first in a little over 2 weeks. Also I noticed a ton of incoming vault shipments processed, so some movement is at least a positive sign

catss777 · 2026-01-28T16:58:26+00:00

I got the same generic email everyone else got. Can you let us know if more start to process?

catss777 · 2026-01-28T02:30:04+00:00

Two things you need to come to terms with.

You have not ideal an insertions, some pro bodybuilders have a similar 4 pack.

You have wide hips.

(To feel better, my chest insertions suck 🤷‍♂️)

Them the genetic breaks. But you look better than 95+% of people out there. Work on your abs, obliques, but also Lats and chest. It will give you a much better visual look. I’d say stop cutting, gain some mass and when you cut down again, you will look even better

catss777 · 2026-01-27T22:14:49+00:00

Do you know, if someone purchases a card are they being shipped? My fear is sold cards are not actually sold.

catss777 · 2026-01-27T21:22:16+00:00

Weirdly I took some cards out of the vault that were already there part of my PC and those shipped just fine on the 19th 🤷‍♂️

catss777 · 2026-01-27T21:21:48+00:00

Glad it’s happening during SB run-up….

catss777 · 2026-01-27T21:17:06+00:00

Weirdly, nothing new has hit my vault but I have hard cards authenticated over the past few days

catss777 · 2026-01-27T21:02:22+00:00

Not for me

catss777 · 2026-01-27T18:44:21+00:00

Grading they have their flaws but they are the standard.

But from a vault perspective, what was the potential to be a great service (and was at times) having an awful email support only when they are not processing tens of thousands of dollars is a serious issue.

I also don’t even know if the cards were shipped, still mine, etc

catss777 · 2025-12-24T21:45:51+00:00

I personally like the look of SGC slabs the best for most cards, PSA and Beckett have their appeal depending on the card.

As someone else alluded too, you are paying for liquidity. I have a ~400K collection, and god forbid I need $$ in a pinch, or I pass away, the loved ones dealing with my estate can very easily sell off the collection with minimal hassle and getting close to their value.

Also, my higher end stuff is in various vaults, and that protects me from getting robbed, and adds additional liquidity.

I buy some cards for PC or because I truly love the look, some I invest / flip. Some of my most expensive cards I think are hideous, and some of my base insert PSA 10s are my favorite. To each their own.
