    UPDATES/CHANGES
    1) Penny Sleeves are $1.99 for a pack (not a single sleeve)
    2) GameStop does package all the envelope in a box to be sent out
    3) Think Upcharge only occurs if your card Estimated value is $500 or more (not $200) and that will come from PSA directly, not GameStop
    4) Think GameStop charges a fee for that 3rd sleeve we used
    5) Cards are insured but we do not know the maximum insurance

      They don't take pictures of the back of the cards??? That is bad, really, really bad. There are rare numbered cards where they put the number on the back of the card. Somebody could swap out a regular unnumbered version and the customer will be screwed. Or the employee could swap out a high priced Pokemon card with a version where the back is off centered. They don't even enter these cards in the system, that happens by PSA employees like a week or so later? All kinds of stuff could go wrong I fear. I'll probably risk it and drop some cards off and see how it goes. The fact you don't need a limit of 20 cards for basically bundle pricing and free shipping with GS membership will be a big draw for most ppl.

    • @Smokemon07
      @Smokemon07  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That will def be a big draw... yeah whenever u add another person to the mix it adds more room for error... in this video, they did seal the cards away into a couple different "sleeves" and then bagged and labeled them... not saying there aren't people out there that will still take the envelope in the back, open it up, and make a swap but idk how likely it would be 🤞 I would recommend not grading very expensive cards through GameStop right now for those concerns and just because of the suspected upcharges when grading very valuable cards

    201-500 9.99 upcharge 501-1500 59 upcharge 1501-2500 118 upcharge 2501-5000 266 upcharge 5001-10000 488 upcharge. The first two numbers 9.99 and 59 should be correct the rest might be slightly off cause the picture I took was slightly blurry and didnt care to ask to take another. The employee got the picture of all the numbers sent to him when I asked for them so it is a good price, I was considering becket but its 29 dollars minimum for return shipping plus the insurance costs based on the value you put in. If the card is black label worthy would go for it I just saw a gengar alt art black label sell for 8k on ebay when a psa 10 is like 600 but psa is more liquid than any other non black label grade and more value.

  • @Gimp2288
    @Gimp2288 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    PSA has a bulk trading card price, this is for an estimated value of $200 per card. So my guess is that's why the GameStop price is that along with the valuation. You get charged on the backend for the increased insurance on cards valued higher than $200. If you were to go through PSA and send out 4 cards you would not get the bulk price, you would use value pricing and that would be $25 per card with a valuation up to $500. They would still charge you more for the insurance on shipping if a card was valued higher than that $500.

    • @Smokemon07
      @Smokemon07  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Gimp2288 PERFECT 👍 pretty much 100% right... I think u might have an estimated value of up to $500 before u get upcharged which would be even better than the $200 but well have to wait and c

    Yep, the process he is doing is the right way but just had a little miscommunication. The card savers are $0.25 and yeah the packs of penny sleeves are $2.99 for about a 100 sleeves but I just buy a couple packs of sleeves and leave them for the guest to use. Also that 3rd layer of protection he put is his own user discretion, those are actually used for guest who bring PSA slabs to sell to us and we put those on if they don’t have them to prevent scratching on the slab but we do put the graded submissions in a tamper sealed bag and then locked away in camera view to prevent any mishaps. Also there is a 10 day hold unless we have a minimum of 20 graded submissions, then we can ship them out right away.

      @sourcingsailor4987 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Three of my friends are GemeStop managers and collectors, as well, and they each say the "Hold" is at their discretion. If they consistently get 20, 30, 40, 50 or more submissions, they will ship the next day or even the same day depending on how early they received those submissions. Also, I was advised that if they are slow and only have, let's say 8, 9 or 10 cards for submission, they will send them anyway, no more than a week from receiving them.
      The process is new, even though word was out there for months and I initially wanted to wait a few weeks or a couple of months for GameStop and PSA to work out any issues and wait until the process becomes more streamlined between the two.
      Plus, I wanted to wait, because you know in a couple months, there will be a ton of videos of people getting their GameStop/PSA submissions back and I want to hear the pros/cons of each. But, my friends(GameStop managers) have used this process to submit their very own cards, so I will at least send in about 20 low-end cards(valued between $30 and $50 and see what happens. If all goes well, then I will be using GameStop as my primary submitter.

    Ultra Pro Card Savers are trash! They are too tight, too small and can damage the card(s)!
    Regardless of what GameStop says, I will always use "Card Saver 1" protectors, and will never used Ultra Pro, ever!
    Plus, I believe GameStop's system is backwards, they should be charging $1.00 for the Ultra Pro card saver and .25 for the penny sleeve, not the other way around. A pack of 100 penny sleeves cost $1.25, why would I pay $1.89 for one.

      @wolfenher6937 lol I saw the same one, that's why I had to go do it myself... I mean if u already have your cards in Ultra pro sleeve and card savers then it is going to be super easy and simple... if u do have to buy the sleeves from gamestop, they are a Lil overpriced and possibly too small a size

      that would be for one of the most expensive Pokemon Cards Ever Made... there is a $200 Estimated limit per card, anything over will be subjected to an upcharge directly from PSA... ill have to wait and see how much the upcharge will be but $1,000 was just an example if your card is worth like over $10,000.... and if your card is that expensive, i would prob just send it in yourself

Or like 75% of it… will they just take ur card and give you 75% of the cost and then list it for 100% themselves? I guess in 45 days we will see. Also if fedex knows everyone they pick up a package from GameStop it’s worth a lot they can steal them too. Idk lots of holes I guess for now.

    That is trash 💀 up charging after the fact, and simply because the value of an item that isn't theirs to begin with is high value! If the service is already paid in my opinion that's the "line" and it should not be crossed!

    • @kalilukaz
      @kalilukaz หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@Smokemon07 everyone is doing it because PSA charges more to grade high end cards, with gamestop they are paying for the option that allows grading up to a value of 200 usd per card so anything ending up with a value above that after grading will result in an upcharge from PSA to GameStop, and GameStop then simply passes it on to the customer as previously agreed upon. It's shitty yes but unless you have a PSA membership overall you still save money compared to sending directly because of the discounts GameStop receive
