As far as we know it's not PSA buying the cards.

C'mon man. When you go out of your way to correct this, but have to say "technically" and "on paper"....

Look at the address of the LLC filing:

Saying "it's not PSA buying the cards" insults everyone's intelligence when the reality is so obvious. It's like when Amazon created hundreds of subsidiaries (i.e. "Fulfilled by AmazonXYZ, LLC") or the sole purpose of tax avoidance. Collectors/PSA created this new LLC in March 2025 to shield liability in case they get regulated, and/or so they can say on paper "it's not PSA buying the cards", when it really is. So c'mon man. No need to go out of your way to "correct" something that is highly fake in nature. Let's just keep it real.

PowerPacks LLC is literally PSA's mailing address. LOL
Even the same suite number.

C'mon.

Remember when algorithms caused Zillow to buy so many houses they had to liquidate them?

I hope if given the opportunity people are taking advantage of the PSA offers that are out of sync with the market.

I just had an order pop but don't see an option to get offers. Do I have to send all card to the Vault to see the offers? And if I send them to the Vault can I then send them back to my address if there are no offers or the offers are not good?

Thanks to anyone who has already used this for your advice!

You would see offers if they want the card. If you do not see offers there is no interest on the card or not enough data or would would see the offers. You can always send to vault to see if they will add an offer later on for the card if you would like.
Thanks

Will I still be charged return shipping if I accept all offers resulting in no cards being shipped back?

Surprised they wouldn't want to make offers on these highly-liquid cards. I might add them to my Vault just to see if that will enable the offers to come in but I'm not sure how easy it is to then subsequently take them out of my vault to ship back to me.

"Should not"...but it is PSA after all.

Just FYI I dont think you can not pay shipping even if you take all offers. It appears they already invoiced/charged my card for the shipping day of so if I accepted the offer I don't think they'd change the charge.

You should try to get an adjustment if you don't have a single card returning to you.

This needs quoting.

It almost seems worth it to go to card shows and scan slabs on the PSA app to see the offers they are giving. It’s not worth it for high pop cards but for low pop cards that PSA is offering on, it’s worth trying to see if their offers are ridiculously high. Then you can buy the card cheap at a show and send it to PSA’s vault to sell them the card.

Vaulting the card takes weeks at the moment, you run the risk of the offer significantly changing in the meantime.

That’s why someone should deal with cards that are not comping every day. My cards from last PSA order took a week to be entered into my vault.
