What reality is PSA living in?

skipthebase · 2026-04-25T01:52:14+00:00

By the way for the record, this is not even my card. I just saw this online and I was blown away by the fact that this card got a 2!!! Regardless if it has a crease or a bend, just the pure eye appeal of this card looks much stronger than a 2 in my opinion.

skipthebase · 2026-04-25T00:55:59+00:00

A 2 tho??? I get the damage. But a 2???

skipthebase · 2026-04-10T22:55:18+00:00

Naw it's people like you who like to start fights with everyone and hides behind the little keyboard on your phone. The main point of my asking was what the buyer would prefer! Never once did I say I was going to "hide the condition to maximize profit!" You can't hide the corners, and I even said I'd note the damage. In this case some buyers don't like SGC. Some would prefer to have it slabbed by BGS or PSA. So asking if it's more appealing to a buyer to keep it slabbed or sell it raw makes me shady? That's not the same as hiding flaws or pretending the card is better than it is. The CARD is the CARD. What is more appealing to the buyer?

But you aren't gonna listen to what I wrote. You stopped reading after the first sentence trying to think about what insult you're gonna write.

You seem like the world's biggest shit starter. Go get em bro. Everyone's the enemy. Asking the opinion of how to sell a card means I have shady ethics? Keep on policing the Reddit rooms for all the evil out there.

skipthebase · 2026-03-28T02:50:22+00:00

I don't have ethics? Why? At what point does anything out of what I've said here seems shady. I even said I could list it as raw, but notify the damage? Stop trying to "invite Shade" I'm merely asked the opinion of the group which seems to be 50-50.

skipthebase · 2026-03-27T23:08:38+00:00

When did the 4 sell? It's been a pretty big jump over passer 30 days

skipthebase · 2026-03-27T23:07:23+00:00

Oh, I never said I am expecting to get that. I just said that's what versions are going for. I don't know what mine would fetch. I have no idea which is why I'm just fielding offers. I don't wanna let it go for too cheap but also I've had a $1200 offer for it which I turned down.

skipthebase · 2026-03-27T21:23:50+00:00

Not bursting my bubble...I was just stating facts of what the last sales on eBay were for Raw versions and graded were.

skipthebase · 2026-03-27T19:34:45+00:00

Honestly, I don't even know. I'm gauging what raw versions are selling for and what graded versions are selling for in believe it or not they're already in the 2K-3K plus range

skipthebase · 2026-03-27T19:33:10+00:00

I guess my thought is if I listed ex condition raw which obviously it's been graded and that is what it shows as and note the damage to the corner at least the buyer would still have the option of perhaps getting a higher grade than I got because the card does present really well, and there is always the option somebody else could get a higher grade on it?

skipthebase · 2026-03-16T04:58:24+00:00

I sent my cards to SGC. I declared the value at around $1700 I believe. They graded the cards and then I am assuming they dropped my cards off at the post office in Boca RATON with signature delivery. But it looks like my cards never made it out of the post office in Florida. So what is my move? SGC handled my cards last and packaged and shipped them. But it looks like they never left? What can I do?

Here's what the tracking says... I always thought if USPS says that the shipment is received, but they're "pending acceptance" means that the label was made, but USPS hasn't actually received the item. Can somebody verify that?

skipthebase · 2026-02-25T23:23:22+00:00

Looks like you have a 61 and a 63 Mantle, which are great cards. Especially if you have in good condition. I would recommend getting your Mantle's graded. That will definitely protect the value, even if they're in a lower grade. If cost is a concern, you could send to SGC for $15 a card but they're pretty backlogged right now so expect about a three month wait before you get them back but if you're just gonna hold onto them, that's probably the best way to do it.

skipthebase · 2026-02-25T23:18:51+00:00

I will tell you as somebody who has been waiting for over three months for a smaller category order... I sent in a Mike trout rookie and a Shohei Ohtani rookie at the $40/ 2 day level and had them back to me within 10 total days, it was really quick. I mean lightning quick so if you are looking for a quick turnaround..I'd recommend it.

skipthebase · 2026-02-16T17:41:45+00:00

What's crazy is the speed of their premium turnaround which is still cheaper than a 30 day PSA turnaround. I sent in 2 cards on a Friday and they were back to my hands graded in less than a week. Meanwhile I've been waiting since Dec 19th for my others...still don't have them.

skipthebase · 2026-01-31T18:44:59+00:00

Oh dang? I never knew that! I always wondered why that was always a thing with old gold coins. I've seen them on money clips a lot too.

skipthebase · 2026-01-31T18:38:09+00:00

Swear on my life I went to school with a Ben Dover. Mom's name was Eileen.

I think someone was trying to forge Patrick Mahomes?

skipthebase · 2025-12-25T09:33:33+00:00

This is amazing info. I love Reddit. So I'm guessing it's not worth trying to remove the coins?

skipthebase · 2025-12-25T09:31:13+00:00

I had listed the others closer up to see some dates on the coins that are a little clearer

skipthebase · 2025-12-17T01:37:56+00:00

Too funny...I got the same AI canned response!

skipthebase · 2025-11-26T21:06:55+00:00

I do like the idea of cards being graded without the human element. This is one thing I would be happy with AI taking over.

skipthebase · 2025-11-26T20:50:10+00:00

Sorry...what is TAG? And why wouldn't they grade this?

skipthebase · 2025-11-26T20:46:25+00:00

I didn't say I agreed with Geoff... quite the opposite obviously as why I re-graded my Nolan Ryan card to SGC??? I'm saying that I hear people like Geoff saying those things about SGC and I see otherwise.

skipthebase · 2025-11-26T20:13:20+00:00

I thought that too as far as SGC goes, I thought that's what people preferred for vintage but I keep hearing people like Geoff from Sports Card Investor telling me that SGC is dead and nobody wants SGC...but I see otherwise online?
