Curious!

Hi everyone! I'm curious. I've read some threads from members where their PSA orders are taking months to receive. What I am wondering about is how long do you think a PSA grader looks at a card before determining a grade? If you send an order of 25 cards lets say, could it take a grader hours to get through those 25 cards? And how many graders do they have working during their work day? I believe that could greatly impact turnaround times just by the sheer volume of incoming orders everyday. What do you think?

I'll say 1-2 mins tops each for most modern cards.

I'm sure some odd-ball items take more time since they might have to research the item.

With the mistakes they OFTEN make with a simple thing like IDing a set the card is from......

Id say most that look at/handle the cards dont collect cards, and the ones that are "so called experts" only spend a few seconds ea. on modern stuff (Topps etc.).

If 3-8 employees handle the cards/order/slabbing, and it cost $6-$10 to have them do that..... dont expect much. Especially since you CAN NOT watch them work

A big $$ card ($5K+) with its unjustified much higher grading fee (for the same service), might bring more attention but not much more.... its even easier $$ for them IMO

Cant wait til they start the 1/4 grade bump, ie PSA 8.25

Collect cards, not slabs .... its funner
