You also failed to address the QA downgrades.

If someone else is regrading at QA then thats at LEAST two sets of eyes. That is more than one.
Because PSA didn't hire 2x the workforce just to have every card get graded twice, that is a poor business decision...

Also the QA downgrade doesn't mean the card is being fully regraded a 2nd time, as that would be impossible after it's entombed in plastic. A quick glance at the slab though from the front and back is warranted though, in the event there was an obvious misgrade. But again, the QA check is not a full regrade from scratch.

Quick glance at QA.

Thats exactly how theyre grading your cards too, chief. I already told you they likely spend 20-30 seconds grading each card.

My dual service bulk still hasn't moved since 3/13, hate to see it. Good thing these are the only cards in my collection I'd dual service (pre 98)

Yikes, that looks pretty rough to me. Do you think you would have done better if submitted at value or regular levels?

Looks like your typical 90s slam job.... everything gets a 5 or 6.

I remember when 5 or 6 meant a visible crease somewhere, now its just a tough of corner wear.

I am on about 8 days here. I have the credit card alert set on my phone. Every time my notifications go off, I pray that it's the charge from Collectors Universe.

Can't remember what I've shared in this thread yet but here are some datapoints:

Order Type: Regular
# of cards: 2
Order delivered: 3/24
Order received per PSA: 3/30
Shipping/Grades: 4/6

Order Type: Value
# of cards: 8
Order delivered: 3/14
Order received per PSA: 3/22
Grades Popped: 4/10
No shipping yet

Order Type: Value
# of cards: 6
Order delivered: 3/13
Order received per PSA: 3/21
Grades Popped: 4/10
No shipping yet


Grades for the 16 cards
6 PSA 10 (37.5%)
6 PSA 9 (37.5%) (1 was a cracked SGC 9)
1 PSA 8.5 (6.25%) (a cracked SGC 9.5)
3 PSA 8 (18.75%)

Nothing too suspect there honestly. Bummer about them being more liberal with the 8s these days.
