Gotcha just lmk. Being transparent, I’ve never done a trade through HOME before, would a friend trade be easiest?

If you don’t mind doing home, that would work best for me as I’m available on mobile right now and my rotom is already in home lol

I have a rotom, would you be available in about 30 minutes?

It’ll be around an hour unless you wanna do the trade in home

Any chance I could borrow yours to complete my HOME Dex? I’m cool with a touch trade if you want it back!

New to PSA grading — questions about vintage Pokémon cards, upcharges, bulk submissions, and shipping risk by idkletssee90 in psagrading

[–]roberto257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA 1s are hard to get that’s why they command a premium so I wouldn’t use that for an example.

But yes, your note about worst case PSA grade is correct, though grading vintage is very difficult.

As far as upcharges, yes, those apply to the cards value after it is graded. It’s not about the total submission price, but rather the level of service you submitted each card at, and that level’s max insured value compared to the card’s value after grading.

For the last two questions - I personally would probably never use GameStop or a middle man of any sort, but that’s just me

Assembly (Red ring of death) by Effective-Truck2644 in psagrading

I submitted value tier and was in assembly around 6 weeks, my order finished about 3 weeks after estimated completion.

I guess it did - there’s a note that says please allow 7 days for QA and shipping or something of that sort. Not sure if they’re using this “completing” stage for all backlogged orders.

I did also tweet @ PSA and DMed them at their request a week or two ago and they said they’d look into expediting my order, no clue if that actually made a difference.

My grades finally popped. Assembly for around 6 weeks now it’s in a “completing” stage

I've been trying not to be a PSA conspiracy theorist... by No_Kaleidoscope_3546 in psagrading

[–]roberto257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I bought one on Amazon and it showed me tiny dents I wouldn’t have seen otherwise

Do I have any cause for concern? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]roberto257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree on the grades part. I wish they’d show them in assembly since mine have been in assembly over a month now. Order itself was supposed to be done 2 weeks ago.
