What is PSA Ready?

MattMiller · 02-15-2021, 05:55 PM

I keep seeing listings on ebay as "PSA Ready", why wouldn't a card be psa ready? Just talking around saying near mint? I think they should say 'Sick Filthy PSA ready'

JoeAdam · 02-15-2021, 05:56 PM

Never buy from someone who says PSA ready. If it was ready, they’d send it themselves and keep the profit.

Another ploy to lure in newbies to overpay for a potentially fake card. Avoid like the plague.

MattMiller · 02-15-2021, 06:00 PM

To be a smarty pants I have always wanted to list a card on ebay with crazy stuff like that, and say 'Near Mint" with a picture of the card next to a candy mint... I know super funny, like bob hope funny

two meaningless words that dishonest sellers use to trick stupid people

Spam...

Giantrobot · 02-15-2021, 06:08 PM

I just looked at a card with “PSA 10?” in the title that had a clearly visible dinged corner. That’s usually what those titles amount to. At least “PSA Ready” isn’t technically wrong...I mean, they’ll grade whatever you send them, so...

pack fresh is a good one too

Either keyword spam or a card not worthy of a PSA 10. Likely both.

Don't get me started on this. Probstein is guilty of this all the time.

Every card is PSA ready if you want it to be. Oh, and if you're willing to say goodbye to it for 6, 9, or even more months.

PSA ready = Listing photos taken with card in a Card Saver I or II

some sellers may even go as far as to ship your card in a Card Saver II

I just saw this auction and thought it was somewhat applicable here. Look at the card, then look at the title and please someone explain to me what this seller is thinking.

That's just a PSA 97 card, /100 obviously

Hahaha, I just love how he puts PSA 9 in the title, then (PSA 10?), but if you look at the card it’s an 8. Just put the honest description in the title.

PSA gives out grades 1-10, so every card is PSA ready. Right?

Adam85 · 02-16-2021, 01:41 AM

The best is when they say REPRINTS are PSA Ready and good investments! REPRINTS!!!!

Real question, should we just start reporting these? I see in the specs it says it is an authorized reprint, but is it really? Usually a valid reprint card will have the year changed at least.

I also hate when people say "pack fresh." Both sound very shady to me.
