I'm curious, do you have cards with pen marks but you don't want MK? Or miscut, but don't want MC? Or just don't know for sure they're not altered in some way?

Not really following this forums or have a great understanding about the submission process. But is PSA just really behind at this point? I sent something in under Standard.208 . Was received on 12/29 but no update since. And I see Standard.209 has been moving right along. Any insight fellas?

It’s all random unfortunately. Lots of subs before 208 or 209. Just a wait process.

It's just a couple of 50s Topps with uneven edges. I can't tell if it's a bad trim job or poorly cut in the factory. It's my dad's stuff that he bought in the 80s. Don't really care what they put on the label as long as they will slab it.

I'm guessing that option is on the backburner for a while...they are getting so many cards in, that sending the majority of those to consignment after would really slow things up...not speaking for anyone, but I'd be surprised if grading to consignment was an option before Fall/Winter

It will be open before then. We are doing everything we can to get it back opened up.

Sorry to those in express 2021.8, my cards are cursed with delays. Expect a long wait time.

Neither have I, but when you have been dealing with this in North East Texas cards took a back burner.

Yes we are on our 4th storm of at least that much snow in NY.

Palm trees and a foot of snow should never be in the same photo! Tried ice skating in the swimming pool yet?

Rumors are gaining some traction on social media that the cutoff will be tomorrow, after that the price will be increased significantly. Any idea if your PSA reps hinted that as well?

Who's saying it? Are these people "in the know"?

Not sure if they are "in the know" but people are piggy backing off this tweet.

Let’s say it is true. Will that stop you from sending cards to be graded? Depends on the increase, but not likely to stop sending cards. The ROI is just too lucrative. Being more select will definitely change.

The ROI is too lucrative when the prices of bulk are $9, $10, or $15.
For myself I will submit drastically fewer cards (and less modern wax) if Bulk is close to what Standard is now.

The $10 Bulk (1972-2017) is currently the best deal in grading.

I thought FOR SURE we'd see a bump in prices as soon as Nat and team took over, not before

It will all depend on the cost. I was mostly subbing PC, I love my cards but I might not love them THAT much

If true, I hope most of the increase is in Ultra Modern.

Interesting. Wonder if these guys knew before the last price hike.

Would 100+ card personals already logged into the psa system, honor the quoted rate?

So so so so so so so so soooooooooooo much this

Instead of opening wax (waaay to expensive for me now), I review my old stash to send in for grading
