A new press release by PSA confirms that on site grading will start in Summer 2026, no mention of the original 2025 date anymore though, so they probably decided to only launch once on site grading is also ready.

This should finally democratise PSA access in Europe. Hopefully it increases local availability and also lowers prices of PSA graded Pokemon cards

I don’t even know why so many people are simping for a ‘murican company when we got so many great European alternatives nowadays.

I see people paying 30€+ for grading just to get a 9 on some random AR/IR lmao

It’s all about value. I don’t know of anyone who thinks ACE, for example, adding value to a card

That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, though.

The difference in resale-value is also negligible for everything 9 and below. Especially if you factor in opportunity cost and the price for grading.

Any updates on this? I did not find any official press releases but perhaps something on twitter again? I am really looking forward to grading in Europe

Don’t think there’s any official updates, still plenty of open positions though:
