PSA adding new services

winter

PSA appraisals.
I guest this new service, with means research and time for PSA employees, means they already solved the problems in grading cards.
By the way. Look a little expensive. Specially in a market when same cards same grading variation of prices are huge. Let’s say example Jordan card today is 100 thousand and tomorrow is 50 thousand. So how the appraisal protect or help to keep prices.

I may be wrong, but I recall seeing that service, and the picture of their lead appraiser, many months ago…

Additionally the appraiser is not a card grader and does not work in-house. There seems to be this misconception that everyone who works at PSA is a card grader. That's simply not the case. Appraisals, social media posts, printing SMR, keeping up the website and others things have absolutely no affect on turnaround times.

Here is the article explaining the appraisal service:

Todd, do the items sent for this service ever actually leave PSA’s possession like how packs get sent to Steve Hart?
