The Giant Professional Grading Thread

Now I’m wondering what prompted you to ask this question. What happened?

Whoever that deleted user with the University karp was … jesus, what a journey. Absolutely disgusting level of service from PSA… “the largest and most trusted third-party trading card authentication and grading company in the world.” (lmfao)

No. Don’t do that.
The only concern you should have is moisture. That shit can damage the card(s) in long term.

It’s indeed unfortunate but no professional company, small or big, is infallible. Considering how thousands and thousands submissions PSA gets and complete every week with small or no issue, such incidents like this is rare.

Real quick. Did the $10 a card package with Ludkins (psa) back in Febuary/early March? Any idea how far along that is? Saw some one a few pages back say that got their back already? I am also assuming the Ludkins tracker is still not updating? Thanks crew

I sent mine in 11/1/20 with Ludkins. Have not heard anything.

My 10/21/20 order still shows in RID, hasn’t even made it to grading lol

I’m sure it’s at least in grading, their tracker has been broke/stuck for at least the past two months.

I sent off a $10 per card PSA order to Ludkins in February. It entered grading on July 1st and the tracker hasn’t updated since.

How do you know it entered grading then?

From the time I sent off my cards, I would check the Ludkins tracker everyday. Then on July 1st it went from the research and I.D. stage to grading. I don’t know if that actually means they actually went into grading, but I’m just saying what my tracker shows.

Hi Guys, I am a bit devastated. I paid very well for a Japanese promo card but the card arrived with a very minor compression.

Is this at best an automatic 6 at PSA and what do you think this could get at BGS, assuming 9+ subs for centering, edges and corners?

Thanks for the advice

Let’s hope. Over a year with barely any movement on the tracker is not great.

I have seen PSA overlook tiny corner indents, if they are very subtle and not deep (as long as it is not a crease), and give them an 8 or 9. Now I am curious as to which promo card it is?

same here ; (

I think they just got lucky. I sent one late November and it has been in grading stage for a few months. Ludkins tracker seems like it stops updating after grading stage, never goes to assembly, QC 1 or 2 from my experience.

It is a fan club eevee… I’m disappointed because apart from this issue, it is quite strong in all the other areas even centering which is a common dock for this card

If you are referencing the $20/card orders that people sent in March, it appears PSA is grading those orders first, presumably because they are more profitable and generate more revenue than the $10/card orders (PSA does not receive payment until the order is graded). I sent in a $20/card bulk on March 1 and got it back about a month ago, yet I still have $10/card bulk from 2020 that shows no signs of coming back soon.

hmm, I’m still waiting for tracking from ludkins since 11/15.

I want to check off one of my big goal by end of 2021.
