The .5 guessing game

Seems like to me that when PSA gets a card in for review and it doesn't meet the requirements for a bump that they could simply go into the certification # area and show that this card has been reviewed.

That would be helpful to us and I think it would be easy for PSA to do. Any thoughts?

    I think PSA would prefer not to do that so that they can have revenue potential opportunities by reviewing the same card multiple times.

    Heh, maybe they already do internally. If they get an order full of cards they've already reviewed once before, why look at them again? image

    Carol can you respond to this?

    Is this something PSA can look into? Thank you in advance for a response, Rob.

    Not to mention the people who's hands the card will go through probably don't want everyone knowing that the card they're trying to sell was denied for a bump. That would just open too big a can of worms.

    Besides that, plenty of cards have gone in for review, been denied and later been sent in again only to be bumped the second or third time around. It is subjective after all.

    Not sure that will happen with the .5 bump. They simply type in the cert #, see that it has been reviewed (internally) and move on.

    I understand that to PSA reviewing the same card over and over is an easy money maker for them, but not in the best interest of us, their customers.

    As for me, I don't want to search ebay cards and always wonder if this card has been up for a review. I think PSA should HAVE to let us know the card has been sent in for review. IMO

    I sincerely doubt that PSA keeps track of that information

    I agree with everything above.

    1) It would be easy for PSA to do and would be beneficial to the collector.

    2) PSA doesn't care, they want the money.

    PSA won't do that.
