Share your Ridiculous PSA Offers on Submitted Cards
 

With this very irritating new feature, we are force fed offers from PSA on newly graded submissions. I say it this way because it delays the shipping process around 24 hours at least while the offers are available. Any who, I had to share this completely ridiculous offer PSA provided on a card that just popped....

2024 Bowman Draft Chrome Prospect Autographs CPANK Nick Kurtz Gold Wave PSA 8......OFFER $393

To put this in perspective, a raw sold for $3500 on 9/8/25 and a PSA 9 sold for $2010 on 8/9/25.

Share your "Offers" below!

So I do not have any cards currently at PSA, therefore no offers have been made to me.

Thoughts on PSA grading a card lower than what it should be just to try to lowball someone then turn around and regrade it higher?

Glad you brought this up. I find it to be a HUGE conflict of interest for the company that is grading your card to 1) Make offers on cards they grade themselves and 2) Give you the option to send your cards straight to eBay following grading as you are completing a submission. As you mentioned, this begs the question will they will grade your cards high or low depending on what option you choose. Grade low, buy low or grade high, sell high. Very disturbing practice going on.

Why wouldn't PSA then just buy a card raw and slab it a 10? They would save a lot more money doing it this way.

Aren't these offers coming from eBay through the PSA Vault? So these aren't exactly offers from PSA the company.
