The Giant Professional Grading Thread

I got back 5 of my December $15 Specials in the past few weeks. Only received four upcharges on 201 cards. There was probably 30+ cards they could have upcharged so I am very happy. Also, the four that were upcharged were only upped to $19 so it was only $4 more per card.

I haven’t had any upcharges on any of my $15 subs which included a Moonbreon that got a 10. You never know what your results may be though

I just had a decent sized sub with no up charges including a special delivery bidoof 10 so that was a nice surprise!

do you package your cards the same way for PSA as you would for BGS?

I also didn’t get upcharged on my december special with 2 PSA 10 moonbreons, but I did get upcharged on my february special PSA 10 moonbreon… For some reason it was upcharged to $40, and a few other cards were upcharged from $15 to $25. I don’t really understand, $25 and $40 tiers don’t exist do they?

I had a Tag Team All Stars Latios & Latios psa 10 go through the $15 tier without any upcharge. I think you’re good

edit: from the feb special

So it looks like the $25 amount is the Value tier and the $40 amount is Value plus. Not sure why the same cards would get upcharged different amounts unless it had something to do with the market valuation at the time. Ultimately I think upcharges are stupid because it’s not like they turn around and give your cards better care after 90% of the work is already done

Right those tiers do exist, must’ve remembered it wrong. What’s weird though is that the $19, $25 and $40 tier have the same maximum declared value of $500… So I really don’t understand why some cards were upcharged to $25 and one to $40

Yep, except for BGS subs I slip a $5 bill into a cardsaver. I get a black label every time.

Thanks! I knew there had to be something I was missing! I was going to skimp and give a $2 bill but I’ll make it a $5

It looks like they have an upcharge for the missing 999$ value, and that is 40$

Just got my first ever upcharge from PSA – $19 to $75. :slight_smile:

Following up to a previous post I made about reporting an error on PSA’s website, looks like I got a follow up email and a status update. Very cool, I’m excited for this card!

I went through this process as well, they did fix the error. But its been sitting in assembly since, so for about a week.

That’s good to hear! Mine is still in Grading but I’m sure it will jump to assembly soon.

Was yours an error in the label? My card is an ā€˜error card’ and needs a special designation and this is a bit of a test run to see if they’ll do it

This new error report feature is really saving PSA here, this was the 2nd time I had sent back this card. Its a variant that they kept saying wasn’t different. So after getting them to agree they didn’t fix it the 1st time, they marked it the exact same label that caused the 2nd sending to them. Had this feature not been there, I would have had to send it a 3rd time.

I just had an error label resolved as well.

Had my incredible PSA 9 ā€œIllustratorā€ Error Blastoise finally recognized on the label.

I can’t wait to get it back.

Do I need to send my card to BGS before it will show up as an order number under my account because I’ve paid but don’t see it under orders?

The BGS website sucks. I never understood how to get my order number either. Just log in to the website and then use this link:

Edit: Sometimes it will take them a week or two for your order to pop up. My last order took them 50 business days to log and 65 business days to finish.

Did you get a black label though? :crossed_fingers:
