Vintage Pack to Grade

I have a vintage cello pack I would like to get graded. I called PSA today and they only offer the 45 day turnaround. When they told me that was the only service offered he then said but.... which I thought he would say it shouldn't take that long, but instead he said they are behind and not meeting the 45 day turnaround. I looked at Global and they offer a 2 day walk through for the same price. I'm leaning toward Global as I just can't stand the thought of waiting 3 months to get it back even though I would prefer PSA. What would you do?

    I can't keep track of whether GAI is still grading but I'd say a chance exists that your pack might never return to you if sent to them.

    I would just be patient and stick with PSA, where you know at least you'll get the pack back in the allotted period of time.

    If you SEND it to GAI you are GIVING it to GAI.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Unless maybe the OP means he lives near GAI when he references "walk through", and could therefore just have them grade it while he waited and watched, same day service? Even then, I'd still personally avoid them, I think...
  • I subbed a few packs to Gai in the last 6 months and though I was nervous it made it back.

    I am under the impression it is the same price same turn around and same shipping for 3 packs. So I just waited until I had three to submit and now waiting like it's a "bulk sub".

    GL with the sub
