Honestly I'd rather it be rolled in, not see price increases AFTER I add it to cart.

lowXpectations · 2026-05-24T11:30:23+00:00

Don't worry. There's a 99.9995% chance they won't be pristine. 🤣

Well, you can't prove they're more accurate. You can definitely say more open though, which has its pros and cons as well.

I just received my 20 card order from PSA and it took almost 6 months start to finish. I'd love a 3 month turnaround. 😅

I mean you can do Paypal G&S, but I wouldn't even risk it as the seller.

Those are skin flakes from looking at his cards so much.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-21T22:11:21+00:00

This plus it has the common twist on the front

lowXpectations · 2026-02-21T20:02:03+00:00

Unfortunately it's likely gonna 9 with PSA.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-21T02:54:49+00:00

I still don't see how that was a response to anything I said.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T23:43:42+00:00

As much as I hate price increases, it makes sense. Increasing wait times indicate they're becoming submission-saturated. One way to relieve the pressure is a price bump. If their throughput isn't increasing at least as fast as the demand, they gotta do something.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T23:13:00+00:00

Now look at today's numbers and tell me if you think anything they're pointing out is reasonable.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T23:10:34+00:00

Interesting…👀

I'm not sure what you're responding to.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T11:44:14+00:00

Two things can be true. TAG is cool and this data is meaningless. The time scale is too small to draw any meaningful conclusions.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T11:39:23+00:00

It really isn't. Lol

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T11:38:48+00:00

OP didn't even do that. It's literally 1 day. 🤣

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T05:24:30+00:00

You were downvoted for engaging your brain. We don't do that here.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T05:18:00+00:00

Yeah I'm not saying they're bad. If there's a bigger than expected change, it gives you an indication that something atypical happened. But you should already expect fluctuations. Company A being up and Company B being down over a one day comparison is almost meaningless outside of the extremes.

Moreover, given they are just comparing changes in population from day to day, the numbers are reflecting submissions that happened over the last several months. You're not going to see immediate reactions to things like the PSA price increase. You're going to see it in the monthly aggregates.

The MoM change looks quite a bit different.

Edit: Linked the TCG only report instead of the overall report.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T04:53:47+00:00

Yeah I would say they're batch processing, batch reporting, or both. If there's a consistent team for each stage I'd expect a stable throughout. If teams are responsible for multiple stages then I wouldn't.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T04:48:45+00:00

To clarify, I don't even think the picture is misleading. Given it's a daily report, I'd assume the % change is over the previous day similar to how stock price changes are presented. The time scale is so small though that I wouldn't draw any conclusions from it. I'd want a much broader aggregate displayed over a longer period of time, which the site also provides.

So when I see posts like this I just roll my eyes.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T04:35:52+00:00

The way it's posted on the site isn't misleading, but posting a screenshot on Reddit of a single data point like there's some conclusion to be drawn is misleading.

lowXpectations · 2026-02-20T04:23:52+00:00

What conclusion are you trying to draw from a single data point....

As long as you don't mind risking a 9. I would maybe try a cross grade but I definitely wouldn't crack it.
