These types of posts have got me feeling nervous now. An order of mine shipped yesterday and there were a few 5's through 7's in it that I thought should be sure thing 9's or 10's. Will see once the box arrives and I go through it, but I am not yet convinced that they'll be returned in the same condition as they were in when I subbed them a year ago.
hate to say this, but itd be quasi-ok with a few slips if we weren't getting murdered across the board on grades (for the most part) on the rest of the sub. new folks are entitled to their mistakes but that second grader, who i would hope/think is trained and been there a while, should be overriding some of these rookie opinions, imo.
I second that. We wait all this time for our cards back and get disappointing grades. I wonder if it's the new folks not really knowing what they are doing yet or if PSA as a whole is intentionally being more strict with the grading.
For what it's worth I received 41 Gem 10's out of 50 ultra modern cards. Maybe the key is submitting hockey cards?

Wow, congrats! Get the name of that grader. I'd like to request this person for my next submission.
I’ve just had two Express subs pop this week, and I felt one card in each truly deserved a 10. One contained 5 cards, and the other was 8 cards. I got one 10 in each sub, and in both cases it was the biggest/priciest card.
All of the grading seemed on point. I even had a couple nice surprises in there, and no major disappointments.
Line # Item # Cert # Grade Description Type
1 1 608XXXXX NEAR MINT 7 1993 SP 279 Derek Jeter Foil Card
2 1 608XXXXX MINT 9 1997 Metal Universe 23 Michael Jordan Card
3 1 608XXXXX NEAR MINT-MINT 8 2020 Upper Deck Tim Hortons NHL Jersey Relics J-CM Connor McDavid Card
4 1 N5: ALTERED STOCK 1988 Fleer 17 Michael Jordan Card
5 1 608XXXXX MINT 9 2007 Upper Deck 462 Jonathan Toews Card
I apparently was fleeced buying that 88 Fleer Jordan. My own fault, so I can't complain. Lesson learned.
The Metal Universe Jordan I'm happy with the 9 grade. That was what I expecting.
Really thought the Toews card was a 10. Otherwise I would have just waited to submit it down the road.
The Jeter though bugs me. I swear I looked a dozens of these already graded cards, and I thought mine easily looks like an 8 or was hoping for a 9. I don't see any of the 7s that look as nice as mine. Maybe I just need glasses or am not a very good grader.
Reading this really has me curious as to what I'll see when the two subs I sent in finally make it back. Because most of the cards were previously graded by Beckett.
Sub 1 - Monthly Special FB - All but 2 of the cards were cracked from BGS/BVG holders.
Arrived - 11/20/20
Entered - 1/27/21
To Grading - 7/6/21
Sub 2 - Value Vintage FB - All but 1 card were cracked from BVG holders.
Arrived - 1/30/21
Entered - 3/25/21
Still in research
I am not expecting the grades to be the same as they were but I'm hoping that cards like my 81 Montana and 86 Rice which were both BGS 8.5 don't come back as a PSA 6 or something.....but this was really my test for converting to see if I want to convert cards like Jim Brown or Walter Payton RCs.
Express sub, just a shade over two weeks from receipt to poppage. I think the grading was very fair. I was hoping for a 10 on the Maya Moore, but the Breanna Stewart more than makes up for it as it's BY FAR the most valuable card in there. Also really pleased with the 5 on Banks. It was part of a '54 set I bought locally from the original owner (the Aaron got a 4).

My PSA order arrived today. I have to say PSA really ships quickly to Canada as they only mailed my package on Friday. It's bittersweet when you know the grades in advance and they are disappointing.
I took some pictures of my PSA 7 Jeter. I was hoping to get some honest opinions. Does this really look like a 7?
The other thing I noticed is the front bottom left corner appears to not be in as good of shape as when I sent it. I didn't get the greatest pictures before I sent unfortunately. PSA took so long, I also upgraded my devices while waiting for them, so the newer pictures are better. I did get these though:
I agree, without knowing about surface issues, this looks like an 8 ish, ( I have 8, 8's of my own for reference) also your raw pic does appear to have a sharper bottom left front then the slabbed card.

Thanks. Wow, eight PSA 8s of this card? Nice! I definitely trust your opinions on this card. Do you only have 8s or any other grades too for comparison?
While I’m no expert, I don’t see any surface issues on either side that would hurt the grade the grade. The card looks very clean to me overall even with corner. Definitely a bummer.

I have an 8 as well, and I also think yours looks nice. But this is the issue with major rookie cards, it's impossible to predict/justify the grade. They're simply graded harsher now. I learned this with an '86 Jordan I subbed this winter. The time to grade an SP Jeter was 7+ years ago, before he retired.

That's unfortunate. I feel like a grade is a grade. How did your Jordan fare?

You're not wrong, but that's just how it is. I think they're getting more right than wrong nowadays, but being conservative with the biggies.
And if you can tell me how this is a 5, I'd like to know. The back is perfect.

My gosh... now I feel really bad for you with that card. That truly looks in excellent shape. Looking at their own definition of a '5', your card literally meets none of their defined criteria that I can see. I don't think that card should be any less than 7. The eye appeal is outstanding. If the back is perfect like you say, PSA should be embarrassed with that grade IMO.
have a bunch of value modern (1972-2017) that are entering the grading stage the past few days. meanwhile there are tons of ultra modern subs that arrived months prior that are still in research & id. it makes their fifo statement even more of a head-scratcher.
Received 19 of the 86 Fleer basketball back today. Grades were a wide range, from 5-10. Breakdown 10-1, 9-4, 8-4, 7-3, 6-5, 5-1. The Jordan above looks most like the 7s and 8s I got back. Grades overall to me were a little wobbly. That 5 was better than the 6 they gave my Drexler rookie, and my Mullin rookie 6 was a LOT better than the Drexler. Dinner Bell Mel Turpin got the 10 ( pop 181 now) and of the four 9s, three I thought had a real shot at 9 (one of them a shot at ten) and one was a 8 that got gifted. I expected about a 30% 9+ rate, but was expecting a 60% 8+ rate.
Three of the 6s ( beyond the Drexler, which had a corner ding, and one clearly so off center I was happy w a 6 instead of miscut) were not discernable from the 7s.
It was my first sub of 86s, I have about 60 more in there, with a better eye, so hoping for about 33-40%9+, 70-75% 8+ outcomes here on out.
I had one sticker in there that was a wobbly grade, a 6 on Magic. No wax or discoloring, 80/20 centering at least each way, no corner dings...ugh. Surface issues? Can't see em....who knows....GOD maybe. Ugh.

just got one of the most embarrassing subs back ever. not for me, but for psa. it shows just how bad they are mishandling cards right now. this isnt even about getting murdered on grades. even the 10s have ghastly streaks all over them. not sure what to even do with them at the point bc its not a reflection of psa as a whole. they are doing the appropriate things and headed in the right direction, imo. but at what point do you have to just call them out on this crap? im getting close.
pics coming after i finish putting all the certs in appropriate order. another pet peeve.
120 card sub. 40% gem rate. above is just an avg example of the 10s. several 6s - 8s and tons of 9s. all with smudges on just about every card.

I've submitted for 27 years and the process is not transparent. The smudges on your cards.....are we thinking that they should be sitting there for 8-10 hours straight with gloves on? Or should there be a cloth to wipe the cards?? Or maybe this is simply a case of the sealer/encapsulator has dirty sausage hands when putting your cards in the holders? Or does no one outside of the building know any of these answers?? Looks very frustrating to wait a year or more and get back dirty cards. Maybe they're getting them ready for EBAY specifics NEW/USED. Lol.

honest answer is i dont know who/where in the process they got smudged. by all accounts, it seems the whole way down the line. they are atrocious in hand. the pictures dont even do them justice to just how terrible they look in person.
another honest answer is i dont care where the they ended up looking like this. i cant stand gloves. i simply wash my hands (which certainly shouldnt be an issue w covid months) and use two finger cots to hold the card with. but h#ll yes they should be using something. especially at $20 a pop. its certainly more time consuming on my end to prep them than it is for them to grade them. some of these look like a cheap motel after payday on the wrong side of town under a black light forensics squad. its gross. so should they be sitting there wearing gloves? if thats what it takes. if you look just above youll see the two wrestling cards in the wrong holders too. should we expect them to read too? i think the answer is yes. again, i would rather wait longer than have a bunch of 9s and 10s dished back to me in this condition. its a sad day when youre not even happy w 10s. even worse when you dished out $2k+ on this go around and they look like this. even scarier is knowing you have 7000 (aka $140k in grading fees) more cards in the pipeline. luckily the national is the week so i can cool down a bit before i pick up the phone.

I totally agree with you. Sorry about your cards. I would be very disappointed. Sounds like there is a lot going on that needs to be fixed. I am really really really starting to have my doubts that things are going to get fixed. They had business as usual for too long and did not implement changes soon enough and they are in a very tough spot. I think it is simply mind boggling that having too much business is a very serious problem. It seems they are being stubborn by not opening up an East coast office to grade cards. They already reported that Newport Beach USPS can not even keep up. Not 1 part of the process can anyone keep up at when they are busy. I believe in 2013 things started to change. They should have expanded then to eleviate some pressure from the current location. Maybe they'll work out all of these matters?????

Lessons learned / Takeaways:
1.) Take pictures of every card you submit / record an "unboxing" as #51149624 was not included in my return....Ludkins managed to "find" the card and get it to me on 7/27/21....(LOTS of questions / concerns regarding this).
2.) 30$ was clearly too much for a 9 month turnaround.
3.) Large group subs are far far far behind the completed through date.
4.) Grades were right on the money, centering was off L/R on every 9, Herro 8 was for a friend who dropped his card as we were preparing to sub...lol, Burrow 8 is a die cut with a soft corner that I missed, and the Pokémon 7 was a gift as I expected a 6.

I saw a post that it was "temporarily suspended" already as they were 80% of capacity based on submissions that had been started. I read a post of one guy that dropped off over 1000 cards to be graded at the show. That's $250k min. There were some players in the hobby when I was much more involved back around 2007 but NOTHING like what I see and hear today.

Just got poppage on my Brady 1/1 Elite and a bunch of others- PSA 8
Will post those in a bit. Think they are close to re-opening Regular rate again as that Brady was the last day possible sub time wise.
@jeffv96masters what was the entered date? I have a regular sub that arrived in Feb, entered 4/9 still in grading. CTD whos 99% of march so I'm hopeful it'll pop this month.
Any guesses on how many times( from one station to another), and # of people that handle the cards AFTER they are graded and before the encapsulation ?

No reason for a 4/9 entered sub to sit there unless some slabs require scanning- which is WAY behind.
Not sure I understand the "batch FIFO" plan PSA talks about, but I had 2 Quarterly specials go to Assembly yesterday. One entered on 09/02/20, and the other was 01/13/21. Those batches must be monsters.

Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.

Wow, that’s quite a spread. I had a quarterly special entered after yours on 9/15/20 that completed back on 07/07/21. I have two others entered 11/30/20 and 12/01/20 that are still grading. Their operations are quite a mystery.
Havent been on here much because my last two Subs that PSA had didnt look like they were coming out anytime soon. My most recent one I submitted before the shutdown in March was a 6 card Regular Service that arrived 3/11 and wasnt entered until 5/11.
Just by chance the other day I glanced at my account and was shocked to see the 6 Card Regular Sub was in QA2 stage - have no clue as to when it went througha s I wasnt expecting to get them until at earliest end of August.
Well a few minutes ago I get "that email" that stated one of my sub required an upcharge due to one of the cards graded put at a higher level of service. I took a look and replied instantly!
My Sub:
1990 Marvel Universe
Captain America # 1 - PSA 10
Hulk # 3 - PSA 6 Spiderman # 29 - PSA 10
Doctor Strange # 34 - PSA 10
1992 Marvel Masterpieces
Wolverine # 94 - PSA 9
1991 Marvel Universe
Venom - PSA 8
The Spidey # 29 was the only one getting an upcharge and I am definately okay with it as well as the entire sub. Ill have to take a look at the Hulk, for some reason Im missing something on the scans and screening
Anyways its definately nice to expect a sub back soon - that leaves me with a 30 Modern Sub that is in Grading and was Entered in October of last year
@chuckman said:
Explain upcharge and higher level of service. I am not sure what that means. Thanks
After grading the card was deemed more valuable than the maximum declared value of the level of service you selected, therefore PSA is charging you the rate for the service level which the graded value is deemed to be in.
Example: You sent a card with the maximum declared value of $499 at the value level, but it graded a 10 and 10's currently selling for $2500, PSA at their discretion decides to upcharge you to the Express level fee.
Comments
For what it's worth I received 41 Gem 10's out of 50 ultra modern cards. Maybe the key is submitting hockey cards?
Wow, congrats! Get the name of that grader. I'd like to request this person for my next submission.
I’ve just had two Express subs pop this week, and I felt one card in each truly deserved a 10. One contained 5 cards, and the other was 8 cards. I got one 10 in each sub, and in both cases it was the biggest/priciest card.
All of the grading seemed on point. I even had a couple nice surprises in there, and no major disappointments.
Here's my disappointing regular sub that popped.

5 1 608XXXXX MINT 9 2007 Upper Deck 462 Jonathan Toews Card
I apparently was fleeced buying that 88 Fleer Jordan. My own fault, so I can't complain. Lesson learned.
The Metal Universe Jordan I'm happy with the 9 grade. That was what I expecting.
Really thought the Toews card was a 10. Otherwise I would have just waited to submit it down the road.
The Jeter though bugs me. I swear I looked a dozens of these already graded cards, and I thought mine easily looks like an 8 or was hoping for a 9. I don't see any of the 7s that look as nice as mine.
Maybe I just need glasses or am not a very good grader.
Reading this really has me curious as to what I'll see when the two subs I sent in finally make it back. Because most of the cards were previously graded by Beckett.
Sub 1 - Monthly Special FB - All but 2 of the cards were cracked from BGS/BVG holders.
Arrived - 11/20/20
Entered - 1/27/21
To Grading - 7/6/21
Sub 2 - Value Vintage FB - All but 1 card were cracked from BVG holders.
Arrived - 1/30/21
Entered - 3/25/21
Still in research
I am not expecting the grades to be the same as they were but I'm hoping that cards like my 81 Montana and 86 Rice which were both BGS 8.5 don't come back as a PSA 6 or something.....but this was really my test for converting to see if I want to convert cards like Jim Brown or Walter Payton RCs.

Express sub, just a shade over two weeks from receipt to poppage. I think the grading was very fair. I was hoping for a 10 on the Maya Moore, but the Breanna Stewart more than makes up for it as it's BY FAR the most valuable card in there. Also really pleased with the 5 on Banks. It was part of a '54 set I bought locally from the original owner (the Aaron got a 4).

My PSA order arrived today. I have to say PSA really ships quickly to Canada as they only mailed my package on Friday. It's bittersweet when you know the grades in advance and they are disappointing.
I took some pictures of my PSA 7 Jeter. I was hoping to get some honest opinions. Does this really look like a 7?
The other thing I noticed is the front bottom left corner appears to not be in as good of shape as when I sent it. I didn't get the greatest pictures before I sent unfortunately. PSA took so long, I also upgraded my devices while waiting for them, so the newer pictures are better.
I did get these though:
Any feedback is welcome.
I agree, without knowing about surface issues, this looks like an 8 ish, ( I have 8, 8's of my own for reference) also your raw pic does appear to have a sharper bottom left front then the slabbed card.
Thanks. Wow, eight PSA 8s of this card? Nice! I definitely trust your opinions on this card. Do you only have 8s or any other grades too for comparison?
While I’m no expert, I don’t see any surface issues on either side that would hurt the grade the grade. The card looks very clean to me overall even with corner. Definitely a bummer.
I have an 8 as well, and I also think yours looks nice. But this is the issue with major rookie cards, it's impossible to predict/justify the grade. They're simply graded harsher now. I learned this with an '86 Jordan I subbed this winter. The time to grade an SP Jeter was 7+ years ago, before he retired.
That's unfortunate. I feel like a grade is a grade. How did your Jordan fare?
You're not wrong, but that's just how it is. I think they're getting more right than wrong nowadays, but being conservative with the biggies.
And if you can tell me how this is a 5, I'd like to know. The back is perfect.
My gosh... now I feel really bad for you with that card. That truly looks in excellent shape. Looking at their own definition of a '5', your card literally meets none of their defined criteria that I can see. I don't think that card should be any less than 7. The eye appeal is outstanding. If the back is perfect like you say, PSA should be embarrassed with that grade IMO.
Unless that bottom left corner is really dinged, that's a 7/8 all day.
have a bunch of value modern (1972-2017) that are entering the grading stage the past few days. meanwhile there are tons of ultra modern subs that arrived months prior that are still in research & id. it makes their fifo statement even more of a head-scratcher.
Received 19 of the 86 Fleer basketball back today. Grades were a wide range, from 5-10. Breakdown 10-1, 9-4, 8-4, 7-3, 6-5, 5-1. The Jordan above looks most like the 7s and 8s I got back. Grades overall to me were a little wobbly. That 5 was better than the 6 they gave my Drexler rookie, and my Mullin rookie 6 was a LOT better than the Drexler. Dinner Bell Mel Turpin got the 10 ( pop 181 now) and of the four 9s, three I thought had a real shot at 9 (one of them a shot at ten) and one was a 8 that got gifted. I expected about a 30% 9+ rate, but was expecting a 60% 8+ rate.
Three of the 6s ( beyond the Drexler, which had a corner ding, and one clearly so off center I was happy w a 6 instead of miscut) were not discernable from the 7s.
It was my first sub of 86s, I have about 60 more in there, with a better eye, so hoping for about 33-40%9+, 70-75% 8+ outcomes here on out.
I had one sticker in there that was a wobbly grade, a 6 on Magic. No wax or discoloring, 80/20 centering at least each way, no corner dings...ugh. Surface issues? Can't see em....who knows....GOD maybe. Ugh.
Ultra Moderns all at 3 R and ID, Moderns in same boxes at Grading or Assembly, log dates from 12/28 to 1/18.
@MarshallFaulk28 I have a bunch of 7's too.
That’s pretty awesome.

congrats and hellavu start!
Thanks! Super pumped to get it back
Bottom left corner on the Jeter pre-grading looks touched. I think that card could be a 7 or an 8, so a 7 is fair IMO.
Robb
just got one of the most embarrassing subs back ever. not for me, but for psa. it shows just how bad they are mishandling cards right now. this isnt even about getting murdered on grades. even the 10s have ghastly streaks all over them. not sure what to even do with them at the point bc its not a reflection of psa as a whole. they are doing the appropriate things and headed in the right direction, imo. but at what point do you have to just call them out on this crap? im getting close.
pics coming after i finish putting all the certs in appropriate order. another pet peeve.
120 card sub. 40% gem rate. above is just an avg example of the 10s. several 6s - 8s and tons of 9s. all with smudges on just about every card.
Lunch break I'm sure. Blurry, you said a value modern submission is coming into grading.... Will mine be soon? Logged 4/21/21... Received on March 3/14/21... Value modern march order. Thx buddy! 👍
could be if its one of those rare occasions. my value modern that just entered grading was logged 2/4/21. still have a ton of ultra moderns that still have not reached grading that were logged in from dec - jan.
Wow! Thanks for the help! Hope you get everything you want for the wait Man! 👍

those are gonna onita another trip back to psa.
PSA: “Hold my beer”
over under that grading at the national is full tomorrow by 5pm? 😉
I've submitted for 27 years and the process is not transparent. The smudges on your cards.....are we thinking that they should be sitting there for 8-10 hours straight with gloves on? Or should there be a cloth to wipe the cards?? Or maybe this is simply a case of the sealer/encapsulator has dirty sausage hands when putting your cards in the holders? Or does no one outside of the building know any of these answers?? Looks very frustrating to wait a year or more and get back dirty cards. Maybe they're getting them ready for EBAY specifics NEW/USED. Lol.
honest answer is i dont know who/where in the process they got smudged. by all accounts, it seems the whole way down the line. they are atrocious in hand. the pictures dont even do them justice to just how terrible they look in person.
another honest answer is i dont care where the they ended up looking like this. i cant stand gloves. i simply wash my hands (which certainly shouldnt be an issue w covid months) and use two finger cots to hold the card with. but h#ll yes they should be using something. especially at $20 a pop. its certainly more time consuming on my end to prep them than it is for them to grade them. some of these look like a cheap motel after payday on the wrong side of town under a black light forensics squad. its gross. so should they be sitting there wearing gloves? if thats what it takes. if you look just above youll see the two wrestling cards in the wrong holders too. should we expect them to read too? i think the answer is yes. again, i would rather wait longer than have a bunch of 9s and 10s dished back to me in this condition. its a sad day when youre not even happy w 10s. even worse when you dished out $2k+ on this go around and they look like this. even scarier is knowing you have 7000 (aka $140k in grading fees) more cards in the pipeline. luckily the national is the week so i can cool down a bit before i pick up the phone.
@Mickey71 ^ wasnt speaking to you in that tone. just outloud in case anyone from psa mgmt stumbles across it and cares.
I totally agree with you. Sorry about your cards. I would be very disappointed. Sounds like there is a lot going on that needs to be fixed. I am really really really starting to have my doubts that things are going to get fixed. They had business as usual for too long and did not implement changes soon enough and they are in a very tough spot. I think it is simply mind boggling that having too much business is a very serious problem. It seems they are being stubborn by not opening up an East coast office to grade cards. They already reported that Newport Beach USPS can not even keep up. Not 1 part of the process can anyone keep up at when they are busy. I believe in 2013 things started to change. They should have expanded then to eleviate some pressure from the current location. Maybe they'll work out all of these matters?????

Lessons learned / Takeaways:
1.) Take pictures of every card you submit / record an "unboxing" as #51149624 was not included in my return....Ludkins managed to "find" the card and get it to me on 7/27/21....(LOTS of questions / concerns regarding this).
2.) 30$ was clearly too much for a 9 month turnaround.
3.) Large group subs are far far far behind the completed through date.
4.) Grades were right on the money, centering was off L/R on every 9, Herro 8 was for a friend who dropped his card as we were preparing to sub...lol, Burrow 8 is a die cut with a soft corner that I missed, and the Pokémon 7 was a gift as I expected a 6.
I saw a post that it was "temporarily suspended" already as they were 80% of capacity based on submissions that had been started. I read a post of one guy that dropped off over 1000 cards to be graded at the show. That's $250k min. There were some players in the hobby when I was much more involved back around 2007 but NOTHING like what I see and hear today.
i was kinda joking. but man! weirdest bubble pop ever. 😉
Just got poppage on my Brady 1/1 Elite and a bunch of others- PSA 8
Will post those in a bit. Think they are close to re-opening Regular rate again as that Brady was the last day possible sub time wise.

@jeffv96masters what was the entered date? I have a regular sub that arrived in Feb, entered 4/9 still in grading. CTD whos 99% of march so I'm hopeful it'll pop this month.
Any guesses on how many times( from one station to another), and # of people that handle the cards AFTER they are graded and before the encapsulation ?

Not sure I understand the "batch FIFO" plan PSA talks about, but I had 2 Quarterly specials go to Assembly yesterday. One entered on 09/02/20, and the other was 01/13/21. Those batches must be monsters.
Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.
Wow, that’s quite a spread. I had a quarterly special entered after yours on 9/15/20 that completed back on 07/07/21. I have two others entered 11/30/20 and 12/01/20 that are still grading. Their operations are quite a mystery.
@lilmule somebody has good eye for 88 Leafs some nice hits there
Nice sub !
Hope everyone is enjoying the Summer
Havent been on here much because my last two Subs that PSA had didnt look like they were coming out anytime soon. My most recent one I submitted before the shutdown in March was a 6 card Regular Service that arrived 3/11 and wasnt entered until 5/11.
Just by chance the other day I glanced at my account and was shocked to see the 6 Card Regular Sub was in QA2 stage - have no clue as to when it went througha s I wasnt expecting to get them until at earliest end of August.
Well a few minutes ago I get "that email" that stated one of my sub required an upcharge due to one of the cards graded put at a higher level of service. I took a look and replied instantly!
My Sub:
1990 Marvel Universe
Captain America # 1 - PSA 10
Hulk # 3 - PSA 6
Spiderman # 29 - PSA 10
Doctor Strange # 34 - PSA 10
1992 Marvel Masterpieces
Wolverine # 94 - PSA 9
1991 Marvel Universe
Venom - PSA 8
The Spidey # 29 was the only one getting an upcharge and I am definately okay with it as well as the entire sub. Ill have to take a look at the Hulk, for some reason Im missing something on the scans and screening
Anyways its definately nice to expect a sub back soon - that leaves me with a 30 Modern Sub that is in Grading and was Entered in October of last year
Enjoy the weekend!
Explain upcharge and higher level of service. I am not sure what that means. Thanks
After grading the card was deemed more valuable than the maximum declared value of the level of service you selected, therefore PSA is charging you the rate for the service level which the graded value is deemed to be in.
Example: You sent a card with the maximum declared value of $499 at the value level, but it graded a 10 and 10's currently selling for $2500, PSA at their discretion decides to upcharge you to the Express level fee.
not finished but had some pack movement…
