Default My last PSA Crossover Attempt

I’ve sent this beauty for a 5-day Express Crossover just a few days before PSA completely suspended their Crossover services. I didn’t have high hopes, because I was 0/4 on my previous crossover attempts, but I’ve thought it’s worth $80ish to give it a try before I crack it. It was worth the try.

I admire you for even trying for a 5th time. Maybe PSA felt sorry for you. I generally believe the crossovers aren't even looked at by a grader, just rejected out of hand and money collected. It's a donation to PSA.

At any rate, congrats.

More proof grading is a spoof. So since you posted this, and we all see it, can we just assume it's still a Bgs 9.5? If I remember right a bgs 9.5 is worth way less than a PSA 10.

Its both. Or I should say, it can be both.

Not really a cross right? Just a crack and resub.

To confirm, you had tried 4 previous times with this exact same card and cert? If so, that just proves that PSA doesn't blacklist certain certs as non-cross candidates after the 1st attempt.

Sorry for the confusion, for this card this was my first crossover attempt, but I've had unsuccessful attempt on 10-10-9.5-9.5s too, and actually didn't crossed any cards without cracking, so that's why I've said I didn't have high hopes.

No, it was a 5-day crossover, not a crack and resub. I have a pretty high successful rate at crack and resub, but always failed at crossovers (until now).

Cool deal. So PSA sends back the BGS flip? I’d never really considered if they would or not.

When a card actually crosses over, PSA will mail back all BGS items. Info block and grade score placard (if applicable).

Most BGS 9.5's are PSA 10's... the price discrepancy is not logical.

PSA 10 is GEM MINT and BGS 9.5 is GEM MINT. They are the same thing but you have a discount with BGS when you buy it.
