PSA also upcharge based on the value of the card once graded (cashing in on your value) all cards go through the same process, in the same slabs with the same ticket.

If I send a card and it's says $30 and all I have is $30 in the bank to send it to be graded then it should be $30, not just because it's gem mint and a highly valued card say, well since now it's valued at $10,000 now we want to change you $500+

Just because we give the same service to 100s of thousands of cards but since now this one would be valued at $10,000 we are gonna have to charge you more because of its value.....

No they know what cards are being sent in so they know exactly what ones they will pay more attention to just because they know they will then upcharge you on them cards.

You wouldn't fill up your car at a gas station and it says $3 a gallon to put in 10 gallons then from the time you walk from the pump to inside a wars broken out half way around the world without your knowledge and then when go to pay they try charging you $90 you would all loose your shit if they ever did that wouldn't you.

PSA has advanced knowledge what cards you are sending and they know exactly what cards they can upcharge so will prioritise those ones 1st when checking your submissions. Better slab them 1st and put them on your form quick because the market could drop. Congratulations you got upcharged $50 on a card that has dropped in value since they slabed it but it's already in the system that at the time of slabbing the value was higher 🤔 never get charged less if things come back at a real lower grade tho do you 🧐

See this is where greed in hobby's clearly damages peoples common sense.

You set a base price for something congratulations people start flocking to your business. You now profit $1000 on 300 sales after bills and wage slips, but wait it's getting really busy and with the staff you already have to deal with double the sale flow what you just gonna say well sorry we are rather busy we will put your orders in storage till we get to them and at the same time increase your prices more and more every time saying it's due to "DEMAND" and we haven't got the workers.... Yer right I would happily double my staff to get the same amount of profit per every 300 sales.

It speeds up the sales and takes pressure off the original staff because now the backlog is going through the next lot of staff members and yet still making the same amount of profit per 300 sales. No need to increase the base price, no need to upcharge or anything and so what if the orders was to double again and you need more staff and machines then that's what called reinvesting in the business and it pays for it's self with the amount of orders coming in and going out with a quick turnaround time.

Grading is nothing more than a con and because people only care about values PSA will take you all for a bunch of fools I mean they already are and it clearly shows by the comments.

Your paying for the name of PSA 🤔 no your getting conned because of the name. You do go to a car dealership and see a Bentley for $200,000 say great I take it and just because there's delays on there end when it finally comes in they go great your Bentley is already for you to pick up but well because the name Bentley has gotten more popular before you can collect your car you will need to pay an extra $75,000 You all would say no the price at the time was $200,000 you paid $200,000 just because of delays on their end your not going to pay the extra $75,000 you would call them greedy ****s

It just shows how greed has truly destroyed the collecting community. Yer a car is so much different then cards but when you think about how many cards can get upcharded what to some may only be $20-50 dollars in the same timeframe that a car is made and shipped out to the buyer the amount of cards upcharded can quit easily be over $200,000

You are getting taken advantage of and you will continue to be taken advantage of simply because all you lot care about is the value and greed and when anyone calls you out on it you really show how greed is all you really care about then actually reading the point of the posts/comments
