Going to hold off on grading for a while. Card prices going down, grading prices going up. And grading getting stricter. Not a formula for success.
If you have a valuable card, it's always good to get it graded and protected.
Only thing I'd say is that my yearly $100 collector's club membership seems to get me less and less for being consistently loyal and being a club member with you. Years ago had more offers for cheaper bulk and also vouchers.
Absolutely agreed! Not a fan of how they’re limiting collector’s club utility
I know PCGS their sister company gives vouchers out with memberships. No value to being a member.
Sucks they got rid of the x amount for free submissions for ever Collectors Club renewal or sign up.
@@DeadGuyCardboard I miss those days… PSA has to figure out a way to make membership worth it, beyond the nominal “discounted” prices that we get through membership.
That's because it's a scam.....PSA is trash now.
This is way more expensive than what I thought
The big problem with these prices and minimum submission requirements is that you're cutting out the average collector. I like to have graded cards for my own personal collection, but a lot of the cards I would like to have graded are only $2-$5 cards, and I usually only have about 5 cards that I would like to have graded, never mind 20. I'm not gonna pay $400 to get 20 $2 cards graded when I only really want 5 of them graded.
Why not do an Express Level for people like me. Charge $10 per card, with a max declared value of $50 per card, and instead of requiring a minimum put a cap on it. Only allow people to send in 5 or 10 cards at that price, that way you won't get overwhelmed with cards.
Grading $2 cards is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of
@@larr12 You've clearly never seen a themed collection before
@@larr12 and? people can do whatever they want...
@@larr12he Cleary said FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION.
@@larr12reading isn’t your strong suit is it?
why does the cards value play a factor in the grading cost? is the process for grading a $75 card different than a $1,000 card?
It doesn't; they're literally just trying to steal the money you would get from getting the card graded.
It doesn’t play a factor these guys are scumbags that want a piece of the pie no matter what. Super lame
That’s the part that has always turned me off as a seller to getting cards graded. When I saw you need first a monthly membership, then you have to pay to get the card graded, and it depends on how much the card is worth to determine the price of grading. I have NEVER heard of getting something appraised and the appraisal cost depending on the worth of the item. That’s like saying “this home is worth $250k so the appraisal is gonna cost about $12k, and this home is worth $400k probably so the appraisal is gonna cost $20k”….. what’s the point of getting it graded for a seller? We would end up investing A BUNCH of money, just to get Pennies on the return and that’s IF it sells. I feel like everytime I look into possibly grading cards, the prices just keep going up, and like someone above said, card prices have not exactly been skyrocketing lately like they did in 2020…. I’m gonna check a few other companies, but I’m assuming it’s all the same BS
This is LITERAL extortion.
PSA is a tyrant controlling the card market. They are making sure no one will ever be able to make a profit off of grading/selling cards.
I am sorry but this is not very exciting. Coming out of a $15 special and then jump up back to $19 is pretty unacceptable since in 2022 it was $18 per. Also my membership has expired I do not plan to renew once I see improvements for registry submissions.
So we pay for a membership to only submit for bulk and there’s no other benefits to the membership. I bet you guys will see a huge drop in membership this wasn’t really thought through.
Sure it was! They thought they could scam people out of a $100 a year AND still charge them for regular grading AND also hit people with upcharges.......They thought this out perfectly
They knew what they were doing.
As long as we keep valuing PSA rated cards higher than Beckett, CGS, and others, PSA will be able to charge whatever they want (and DO whatever they want).
As a new sports card investor and someone who wants to grade some cards, these prices seem absurd. It doesn’t really seem like PSA is for the average Joe. I get it you’re the best, but what does that matter if not everyone can get access?
why is their a declared value ? just grade the dang card so if i have a card that is over 32,000 bucks i gotta fork out more money ? for what
PSA continues to disappoint. Pay to move to the front of the line 😂. It’s always a money grab with this company.
You forgot pay the higher and more expensive tiers to basically buy a 10
The $40 level should really have a DV of $999, too much of a gap in DV from $499 to $1499
Couldn’t agree more.
You read my mind, I totally agree!!
Is there a PSA Grading in person
This seems nuts. So literally unless I pull a card that’s potentially worth $50+ then it’s not worth it.
I have like 4 cards that are potentially worth about $100 all together but I’d be breaking even assuming they aren’t perfect 10s which seems near impossible to get anyway
i find it hard to sign up for the membership because $19 a card still isn't cheap and i have to send in 20??? after paying $100 for membership smh. i really want to use you guys but honestly i dont want to be sending in 20 cards at a time to submit just to get that rate. BGS charges $18 with sub grades and i only have to submit 10 cards and no membership needed. I don't take sides with grading companies but bgs seems to be the better deal so i currently use them. I really want to use PSA but I'm waiting until your prices come down a bit or at the very least the membership is more attractive.
Not exciting at all. I submitted a ton of cards towards the end of 2022 because of the monthly specials. I won't be submitting anything else until these change. This new pricing is not reflective of a market that is actually cratering right now.
I would like to see a 20 card value bulk (1996-older) for $15 like the promotion that just ended for the newer cards. A response would be appreciated. Thanks
$19 is too high. $15 is the max I'm willing to pay, and even that is kinda high.
They are the best service in the business, but it's just price gouging. Some people have hundreds of potential 10's but can't afford thousands of dollars for grading. How is this easier for new collectors?
Pay extra to have the autograph authenticated and the card downgraded for the autograph. What a super idea!
There are several things wrong with this, and PSA is unfairly profiting from our willingness to continue. These turnaround times are completely ridiculous. Supply and demand, PSA holds ownership of both, Not only are they going to take 2 months to grade a card, they are going to overcharge for this service. Another thing, who designates value? Why does PSA charge more for perceived value? If my $1000 Wander Franco rookie tanks overnight to $100 (Like this would ever happen....LOL) will they send me some sort of refund? PSA is nickel and diming us to death. PSA.....Pick your poison and just go with it, Stop trying to squeeze every dollar from us. $10 a card....fine, then do it in 8 weeks. $40 a card, fine do it in 2 weeks. If it's a high-value card, put a little premium on it and be done with it. Over $500, add $25, Over $1000 add $50. If the volume is too high, hire more people. The problem is, we can't all come together to boycott this nonsense.
Where is the $15 bulk option that is stated on your own website???
How much do you charge to send the graded cards back?
I don't understand the max declared value, are you FORCING people to pay insurance based off of that, or they won't get their cards back?
I don’t see one happy customer in the comments…. 🤔 Hmm
Not offering discount pricing or better DV or faster turnaround for collector club members on value plus, regular and higher service levels……poor move. Regular use to be $50 with DV of 999 and express use to be $75 with DV of 2499 2 and a half years ago……
Hi so my question is I would like to do the bulk at $19 however u have a max $499 declared book value what if it's over that amount example I have a 2000 Bowman Tom Brady rookie?
The problem with RAW cards, is they could be fake ones, tampered with, or bait and switched (ebay)......that's why PSA is a must. It's unfortunately a required step IMO.
i think $40 for 20 days, is what i am going for, it seems like a fine balance of time turn around and price
Hope it works out nicely if you do that. I've been thinking of doing the same. But I only want 1 card graded.
I know this is going to be a dumb question? Do al PSA rated cards come back in the hard plactic sealed case with the cert and bar code at the top and all that jazz? Or is that hard sealed case only for the "regular"? I ask because the "regular" is the only one up to that price that says "Graded card will be returned inside a fitted sleeve protector." Just wanting to clear this up before considering getting some cards sent off. I don't see a clear answer on the website.
Iv'e been trying to ask the same thing, I sent an email about it too
Yes it always comes back in a slab unless u select just authentication which is a waste of money and never do it
I don't understand what's the max declared value for? Is that what you are guessing the card is worth??
PSA is way cool. Going back to “ol school” collecting and focusing more on easy access displaying for enjoyment and so forth, for a while…
Am i hearing this right, its $25 per card to get it graded. Sounds like a massive scam. How many cards are even worth that much? I see PSA graded cards on ebay all the time for less than that.
fix your consistency. sent a card got 9, cracked it sent it back got a 10.. PSA is a joke. Made money though! 🖕
Could someone help me understand what "max declared value" entails.
Just wondering how they plan on dealing with card trimmers like Evan Mathis. How do they allow a trimmed card to pass through your grading process?
He knows insiders and pay them off.
This is a Pyramid Scheme.
P.S.A. (Pyramid Scheme Association)
Grading must be subjective. None of it makes sense to me. I was at a local card show. I saw two examples of the same card, a 1910 T212 of Curtis Bernard. The PSA 4 looked more like a 1.5. The PSA 1.5 looked like a 4. It wasn’t even close . Only significant flaw of the 1.5 was a very small crease that had no cardboard showing underneath. Hard to spot without a magnifying glass. The 4 had no creases. However, there was discovering on the face of the card, and a purple stamp mark on the back. The 1.5 priced at $76. The 4 priced at $150. Crazy.
Not sending my cards in for the ol’ bait & switch scam at a premium 🤥
I've never had any of my cards graded and I'm looking into it. But now that I do, I feel like I'm doing taxes. "We know how much the card is worth, but you have to tell us how much it is worth and then we will grade it for you and tell you that you were wrong." Why do we have to do the work? That is what we are paying YOU to do. Smh.
Lol everyone gets the same access basically as a regular non member, regretting my PSA membership purchase now
Can someone explain the declared value to me? Does it mean the cards need to be less than that in value? Is that graded or ungraded value? Who gives it that value me or psa? I’ve never sent cards in before and really want to. I have atleast 100 I would like to send but can’t gauge how much that would cost or what bracket that would put me in. Any help would be awesome
I do not understand how tihs works. What is the max declared value? according to who?
so collectors club is useless now unless you submit in bulk or wait for a special? guess I wont be renewing.
Crazy high prices
iv seen other gradding companies charge as low as $6 a card so 19$ is crazy
You need to make the Collector’s Club actually have value. $100 for the opportunity to send in 20 cards at $19 a card is not great. That’s $480 for 20 cards (with a minuscule $499 card minimum) and a free magazine - come on PSA. You can do better.
No they can't , They are a ripoff company and have been for a long time now
Still too expensive
Can someone answer this question for me? I’ve been buying psa Pokémon cards off eBay for some time now. Some more expensive than others obviously. What I don’t understand is how I am able to grab let’s say for an example, a “Radiant VENUSAUR PSA 9” for $20. The card itself sells for $12, assuming they paid at least $20 to grade the card… Wouldn’t that make the market for that card start at at least $32? I’ve bought several PSA graded Pokémon cards in the $10 range as well, which makes no sense to me at all. I guess my point is.. What is the purpose of sending in your card to be graded when it’s cheaper to buy them on eBay? Besides the obvious fact of thinking your card might get that lovely psa 10. If it doesn’t get the 10, it’s an automatic loss in most cases it seems like.
modern cards like that vensaur you are talking about are coming from people looking to make a quick buck, or they are new to the hobby, a lot of people submit everything/crap cards/ no value cards as well thinking, everything they have is gold, they are risking it for a 10, psa 10 when cards are first released, dumb rich people pay for it just to have the first graded 10s out there, with modern cards, nobody wants to buy a 9 most of the time if the card isnt the 100-200$ prize card of the set, so its hard to get rid of a psa 9, therefore resulting in that low price that people start dropping lower and lower until it sells, why buy a psa 9 when you can open your own pack where already to begin with, the rate of pulling that vensaur is already quite common, when you can try to get your own for a 10, as well as you are already opening a current set you were going to open in the first place, ( i dont really buy modern graded cards unless the psa graded 9/10 is close to the raw value). it doesnt help that people like leonhart and other younger collectors value all their cards off of psa value when they dont consider that their cards arent worth psa 10 value unless its actually graded 10. most people wont pay for a raw card even if it looks nice, for the value of an actual graded 10 since youd be risking it. unless it is clear very very clear that it would get a possible 10
I’m very frustrated with the coins/pins increasing to a non-sensible price. $75 for a pokemon coin that costs not even a dollar. Iv been collecting game coins since 2019 and was planning on submitting when they were the same as a card price. Now I’ll never submit them. It’s so greedy and unfortunate that this service is no longer accessible.
yall really need to include reasons WHY the card gets the grade it gets like beckett. i literally go through beckett for this exact reason. otherwise id use psa. If i send in a card that I think is worth an 8 or 9 for it to come back a 5 or 6 with no description why, then i can't accurately decide whether to send another card in if there's potential for it to be a loss. might as well just use a random number generator to grade my cards for all i know.
Depending on the card, the difference between an 8 and 10 grading can be upwards of $20K or more. So how do you pick a "declared value" ahead of time without knowing how the care will be graded? And how does that factor into the pricing? I'm not a collector and I have a legacy collection that I've had since I was a kid that I want to get graded but I'm not even sure where to start because the value of the card can be hundreds or thousands depending on the card. So, I'm not even sure what plan is right for me. The pricing doesn't make any sense to me.
PSA is just extorting money out of people, the higher the grade they give you the more they charge you, it's like you're in bed with PSA, PSA is saying well, with OUR HIGH Grade you're going to get more money soooo we want some of your action when you send your cards to auction.
the most hilarious business card collecting , professionals experts at their best.. who will switch my perfect card in the process for A less perfect card and sent back with a lower grade ..
come on !!
Yep that’s exactly why I don’t send in anything fuck that you’d have to be a fool
That's what I'm afraid of.
I've seen too many resub vids to consider that PSA grading has any intrinsic value.
That didn't tell me anything I wanted to know. I still Don't know what it would cost me to have a card graded. What do you mean by declared value? For instance if I had a card like maybe a. Galactus card. it looks like if It were graded a PSA 10 Which I wouldn't know until after it was graded. It might be worth $2000. But if it's graded PSA 5 It isn't worth near that much. So if I sent in a galactus card and declared it to be, I've already done a card. What would I pay, and what if it grades a 10. It sounds like there's no way.I could afford to have a card graded to me. Or is it just a certain amount of money for any card?If I wanted to have, say three cards graded, what would it cost me? I listened to what you said, but none of it made any sense to me whatsoever.I still have no clue.How much would it cost to get a card graded.
i would like to know how easy is it to send in cards to have graded and how much would it cost per card,I have 3 rookies and one auto that, I would like to have graded and the turn around for those.ty
When will you be coming to the EU? There is a huge market wanting to have cards graded by PSA but can't..
Why psa should get pay attention of my declarad value of the card if is not your 😮card. You should charge for the services you provided bout getting pay more for the declarad value of my card come on we was not born today!!! The right thing is getting pay for your service and grading bout getting pay on my card that is mine come onnnn
once you join are all subs $19 or just bulk sub?
SOOOO IF YOU HAVE A CARD WITH VALUE OF $1500 OR MORE THEY WONT GRADE IT????????
I heard a rumor that PSA could be implementing 9.5 grades. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks.
Seems fair. I like the different turnaround options. I knew we wouldn't see pricing drop below $18 with how inflation has impacted everything.
Really? Hmmm...SGC and CSG don't seem to think that's correct and they can also get your cards graded (accurately) and back to you in under a week. But by all means keep giving PSA an excuse
I wish PSA make a Authentic Service of all Cards with $10-$15 per Card for all Collectors.
For My Collection i dont no a Grade of My Cards, but a Authentication Looks mich better for me for my Collection because i dont sell my Collection Cards.
Why are my submissions taking so long? One has been there 6 months now...
PSA has been destroying cards too.
What is a declared value of a card?
So there’s no package for cards worth over 5k
would love to know where my Ludkins submission is now they screwed everyone over.. nearly 2 years completely stuck over at PSA with 0 contact and no way of doing anything
Can a PSA card grade drop over time? Can a old PSA 7 continue to fade in the slab and be reduced to a PSA 6? I noticed a PSA 7 w a little fade in the corner. I noticed other PSA 7s looked better. I'm afraid the card will continue to fade because it's so old and then I won't be able to sell it for psa7 prices. Has this been known to happen at all?
How do you know what cards to send to get graded? My husband use to work at a packaging warehouse over 30 years ago where they packaged all kinds of baseball, football and other kinds of cards, so he use to buy TONS TONS of cards and we just recently found a lot of them in our storage unit. Is there a site where I can check if they're worth anything?
eBay sold listings
Just search online for the player, card manufacturer, year, and card number. Various pricing sites will come up.
Explain the damage PSA has been inflicting on customer cards during the grading process. Specifically damage to the top right back corner. Have seen multiple videos about this now and PSA aren’t addressing it at all.
Hi, new to all this.
Question: what does “Max Declare” value mean?
What if I don’t even know how much the card cost?
Ty in advance
That’s my thought. It’s idiotic. The whole reason we’re sending cards in is SO THEY CAN TELL US WHAT THEY’RE WORTH. It’s so dumb, we have to jump through 100 hoops and do all the leg work for them to do a little
Why cant they just charge $5 per card?!! If there's a card with value charge $30.
I wish could get a bulk discount for submitting a complete set to be graded for the set registry.
More scammy BS from PSA. You guys are LIVING OFF of upcharges at this point. You have also given up on ANY consistency in your grading. And your turnaround times are a flatout LIE. 65 business days for a 20 card submission? YEAH RIGHT! Everyone knows they won't see their cards in less than 6 to 8 months.....So glad that SGC is taking your market space more and more each month.
$25 per card ?
Slightly worried that prices are going down with no other reason but for introducing new people into grading cards. That doesn't make much sense from a business standpoint because PSA was drowning in cards, even mentioned in the video too, so why would they need more customers? Methinks with my marketing degree that they adjusted their model during the boom, and now they don't want to change it, so they need the card volume again. And what scares me as a consumer, is that there was no doubt the quality of the grades went down during the big card boom because of inexperienced, new, on-boarded, graders. So a little transparency on why everything is cheaper now would be nice. PSA isn't Jesus Christ showering us in cheaper prices because they wanted to, it's a business and there's factual reasons for everything. I would like my skepticisms addressed or see the grading process for each kind of popular trading card currently and my bologna radar will stop beeping as fast.
Why don't your workers use gloves when grading???? Fingerprints on holofoil cards are terrible!!!!!!!!!! Same at the Cases!!!! Fresh from PPE and overall fingerprints!!!!!!! Never send cards to PSA again.
If psa could grade unopened booster boxes, that would be really cool.
They’re not in the business of limiting the number of freeflowing cards in circulation. Collectors getting new boxes graded outright would have a serious, negative effect on PSA’s single-card grading inflow.
@@paulallenscards people collect boxes and keep them sealed all the time. They get stuck in display cases for years. This would just be a better display case with a grade.
Great idea, I had no clue they didn't grade sealed boxes.
Sounds like Walmart quality assurance.
Card grading for the collectors is becoming useless because the card companies are putting out too many graded and 1 of 1 cards at mint 10 grading .
The only ones making money here is the Grading Co.
The collectors are getting low grading and paying more.
I have collected cards since 1977 .
The card companies cut fresh card of an old card with a 10 mint grading and makes the old card ( vintage) worth less.
Just my point of view
Horrible move. Collectors club members should have a $199 bulk option and lower minimums. Value plus should be $999 so a person can't get upcharged from $19 to $75. Upcharge should at $40 if price moves over $199.
Dude 3 months for the card to come back??? Nah I’m paying like 1k to get it back the next day lol
wtf is the declared value?
Are there any forced “era splits” (older than 95, newer than 96, etc?)? Why aren’t these “splits” ever included in the discussion? They matter.
Autographed from who?
You should offer a poor collector level. For all us regular card collectors. Who don't have high digit cards.
I'd do the same thing if people kept sending me mountains of uncentered pokemon cards. I'm sure the workload has probably doubled because of pokemon and yugioh alone. It has to be a pain to go through and grade those cards. Stop sending in low value cards maybe?
psa 10 grade but card is still damage cause you shake it its move inside is that what you said grade
the service price / card is pricier then my single cards
Max declared value is stupid. Would never do this
So for $25 I can get my card graded in one of those PSA slabs? I'm confused, someone explain please
What if you have over 300 that need to get done What kind of price
Hi. Do you pay any taxes when the cards arrived in your country? I AM from europe and i AM afraid of the taxes on my country. If you know something please tell me please
Cards valued at $999 is the loser with the new pricing model. Value plus should have been at $999 declared value, to have options at $499, $999, and $1499.
Damn that's expensive
Screw grading companies. Doesn't cost that much to grade a fn card. And if it's worth more you take more? No.
Why charge more when the process is the same for a singles? Money hungry theives 😂
I wish Psa could compete with cgc. I hate cgc slabs but forced to use them due to them being cheaper.
If I have a 1986 Topps Tiffany Barry Bonds ungraded but maybe a 9-10, which tier service would I use?
Bro!! Same. I actually just pulled one today from an unopened ‘86 box.
My grandfather gave me his entire baseball card collection and there are so many gems in it. For ones that are worth this much, especially in new condition… it’s worth going PSA.
Your still way to expensive and your turn around is 3 months to long🤨 I submitted 11 cards to (PSA) and the coast was $279. Then I said wait let me check out other grading companies. I submitted the same 11 cards to ISA, GMA, SGC all three were right around $130 to $150 range for all 11 cards, and the turn around was 3 weeks at most. PSA IS OVER RATED!!! Here is another bad interaction I had with them. My first card I ever graded with PSA. Sent it in, 4 months later got it back as a grade PSA 5! There was no way that it was a PSA5 so I cracked it and sent it back to PSA again.(did nothing to the card) Get this 3 months later it came back as a PSA 9! I would not have believed it if it didn't happen to me. Like I said OVER RATED!
This sounds like a scam like bro really? 75 bucks??? No wonder people are starting to go to becket a lot more or SGC.
