Trying to upgrade a bunch of cards in a registered set.

Is there a way to do this other than deleting each card individually and waiting for the entire set to refresh?

No.

I got done finally. That was like trying to brush your teeth with a toothpick.

I tried upgrading a card the other day, and for the life of me could not figure it out. Has anyone talked to PSA about this? It has to be a gliche in the system and I am sure that it could be an added feature.

Would BJ be the right person to email? I know that some members of this forum may have some pull to get this done.

If you want to add cards, you just type in the cert numbers, press the magic button, and hope that nothing explodes in your face.

If you want to update cards, all the badly-named "update" function does is let you add pointers to scans and write a little comment. If you get a new card in better grade, and want to replace the one you have, you have to zorch the old one before you can add the new one. And of course you can't zorch more than one card at a time, so if you try to upgrade 20 or 30 cards, you end up doing the whole thing 20 or 30 times.

When I was doing this earlier today, something weird was going on with the PSA site, and it was taking forever to do anything, and half the time I got web page not found or some other error message. Eventually things sped up, but it was still boring enough that it was time to consider a do-it-yourself lobotomy.

Bad fun.

When I add scans, I usually have the newspaper or something else to read with me so I don't spend time just staring at the screen.

brucemo - I CAN update one card at a time??? I tried before and could not find anything on how to do it. I did see "edit all cards in set" and "delete set" but nothing else.

If I wanted to upgrade a 75 Rose Mini form a 7 to an 8, can I upgrade just that card without having to re-register all other cards?

Thanks

Neal:

You can -- but here is the problem:

If you have ten cards that you have upgraded from PSA 2 to PSA 3 -- you have to separately delete all ten PSA 2's, and then go in and add the PSA 3's. With two or three screens/button presses required to even delete one card -- you are talking about 30-40 screens to upgrade ten cards in your set.

One at a time it isn't bad, but if you are upgrading a bunch at a time, set aside a good chuck of your afternoon!

Neal,

Despite the clumsy solution currently in place, the upgraded card will show up in your set listing as "upgraded" (with a little icon next to it). Considering how non-intuitive the current delete/add process is, I was surprised that their database would correctly recognize that the card was an upgrade. Makes you wonder how hard it would be to simply have an "upgrade" button that lets you replace a current cert# with a new one ...

The last two posts were by two people with collections I admire - Schmidt and Rose - thanks for the tips Marc and Robert .... maybe we can all send an email to PSA and have them "upgrade" their system to make it easier

We all know they can and most likely will
