Darkness Ablaze was released 8/14. Are pack turnaround times really faster than bulk right now, or did this dude submit a $5 pack at the $300 service level?
PSA seems to still be accepting all pack orders at all tiers at this time. This could have been sent at $50 or $100 tier potentially at any time last year
Those aren’t mine but I do have some modern packs out for $25 each. If it’s got zard on it then it’s gonna profit. No idea when I’ll get mine back but I do expect they’ll be quicker than my trading cards submitted to bulk at similar times.
We will have to see what the DA ones go for… even for $25 grading fee I can’t see much of a margin being made with them considering they are so abundant
For the ones who submitted through PWCCs 3FREE promo in march - I got charged around 10$ in archival and first-year storage fees for a few items out of two seperate submissions, both had the promo code applied.
For most cards it worked out well, they had the usual fees written down in the invoice and subtracted right away. “Archival fee 1$, discount -1$. Storage fee 1$, discount -1$” etc. But some cards are missing that discount, hence the charge. This is surely a mistake on their part as all cards in 3FREE submissions are 100% free to store, right?
As many have said previously, just message them and they will remove. Just did it myself after getting the $9 invoiced. They replied pretty promptly and have said it will be taken away within 7 business days. Frustrating, since I want this card shipped asap and now I gotta wait another week after they took over a month to archive it.
I’d say lugia well sell for ~100k. Still extremely hard to get BGS 10, but Neo Genesis is probably the easiest set to achieve it. As @kpod mentioned, the only ones that should carry a huge premium are ones with 10 surfaces.
