The Giant Professional Grading Thread

Whelp, sending to fanatics now.

Cheapest tier from EU middleman is 22€+VAT lol (shippings aside). A bit rough.

excluding bulk tier $18.99

At least that’s the same I suppose. Only $1 more for 2.5x max value was pretty nice

Anyone else having issues with PSA images loading when trying to look up certs? The images won’t load on my app, browser, or my computer. It’s been happening for a day or so. I’ve deleted the app and re-downloaded and it still won’t work.

Yup! Looks like it started last night. Same issue on website and app.

PSA released their 10/10 day specials: https://www.psacard.com/specials

After all the hyping up, its a big wet fart of a deal. $10.10 off per card for the highest tiers (lowest is Value Max) with a max discount of $100 (so basically up to 10 cards).

I guess maybe you could chain a few orders together to get more than 10 cards through, but thats obnoxious.

Does anyone know if pokemetrics still gets updated or if there’s another website that gives pop movements ?

trying to see how much certain cards pops have moved and unable to find anything recent

What card’s data are you looking for? I keep track of certain cards/sets and so probably does somebody else.

It has not been updated in a long, long time

Loved pokemetrics. GemRate is a worthy alternative.

Ahhh didn’t know they had stopped updating it. No worries !

mainly wanted to see if there was lots of new PSA 9 and 10 EX era reverses being added given the price growth over the last few months

Results from my most recent bulk sub. Grading went quick and the QA check only lasted a few hours

Offer prices from PSA were strong. I accepted 12 out of 25.

Overall, grading was okay. I hoped for more 8s on majority of the 7s for southern islands and Neo but can’t complain for this sub

The Alakazam was a mis-grade of PSA 4 I had from a few years ago and finally decided to crack it

Thought the charizard was a 7 or 8 but they’ve never graded base zards fairly imo

I know it’s been a while, but I ended up winning this Mew on PWCC back when it was auctioned. I finally got around to cracking it to send back in. It came back about a month ago and I remembered this exchange so felt like I’d post it.

First time I’ve actually cracked cards to send back in, but was extremely happy with the results and this Mew was by far the most upgraded.

That is absolutely amazing. Congratulations!

Was the PSA 5 just a crazy misgrade?

Yeah, there were no visible flaws on the card. Definitely no dents or creases. Not sure what the first grader thought he saw to warrant a 5.

have had a value plus order sitting at ā€œarrivedā€ for over a month. last few orders i did took 3 days before going to order prep. complete joke

Value max at the top with other two being bulk. Think I’m gonna have to wait a while for these…

Yeah, I’m not usually one to get too frustrated because I understand how busy these companies are lately, but my value plus order is going to end up being a 45 business day wait as opposed to the advertised 20. That’s really not acceptable, to be honest.

Yeah you have to pay an upcharge no matter what tier you send it at, so the speed is the thing you are really paying for at the higher tiers (also insurance ofc). Makes it very annoying when lower tiers finish just as fast or sometimes faster.
