If you stop grading, you’ll lose all your opportunities to sell your cards at 60% of comp values through “exclusive PSA offers!!!”

Lol.

Got slaughtered on the basketball order, though not super surprised. I didn't look at the pop report before submitting and once I did, saw that they were gemming at under 40%. Thought I could still get to that mark, but I didn't. I'm done grading Prizm since I clearly have no idea

I'm selfishly hoping they jack up the TCG pricing to turn off the fire hose of cards they are getting. That $1 increase did nothing to stem that tide. Need something to loosen up space for sports cards.

My bulk submitter, who is a PSA Authorized Dealer, told me their rep said the price increase/longer submission times announcement is coming shortly!

Lol.
I surprisingly got a full comp offer on a wemby prizm base rc PSA 10 but yes, the rest of the offers are pretty much trash

Edit* some other offers actually equaled a net sale on eBay so I sold some lower end items.

Was being held for an upcharge. Probably last order for a while for sports, idk who they have grading but that #@#@#@#@ is trash. Ones I knew would get 9s(no way that it should be a 10 lol), coming back 10s, spotless cards I knew should get 10s, coming back 8 and 9s. I've never seen so many cards objectively worse condition over graded, and ones I couldn't find anything wrong with under graded.

Pokemon was 80% 10s and lined up exactly with my expectations, so there's that.

Grades ready for this order. Not too bad of a turnaround considering another order of mine is just sitting there for a month now without getting to R&ID. Tempted to view the offers on some cards but I always like doing a blind reveal when I get the cards in person so think I'll hold off the temptation.

This one popped today. Mainly newer chrome and paper stuff. 41/50 gem, 6 mint, 3 nm-mt. One of the 8's was a 1981 Topps Pete Rose that I knew wasn't gem so really 41/49 = 84%

23 of 27 gem (85%) the other 4 got PSA 9s. Got offers on 9 of them, and I thought about taking them up on 2, but I am passing. I just don't think the offers are good enough.

My last pop had a bunch of offers show up a bit later. I ended up taking around ten of the 15. The one's I accepted were around 85% eBay comps. No brainer. The others were 60-70% comp and I'll tackle those myself. Super easy once I got the Stripe set up. I had two Cal Raleigh rookies and the initial offer was $144 for each. I accepted on the first then the second went down to $132. I waited and it went back up to $144 this morning and took it.

I had a value plus that arrived 9/8 just get opened today. They posted something last week that the value service levels could take 15 business days to open. And of course that doesn't count towards the turnaround time.

So dumb you can't opt out of sending to the vault or ebay. I never selected any of those options to begin with, just process my order for shipment!

Had two value "bulk" orders pop today. All of my orders I indicated at point of submission to ship back to me using my FEDEX account. I do see today for both orders there are choices: 1) to accept offers, 2) Sell All on eBay or 3) Send All to vault. There is a clock running right now, down to 16 hours+ to accept offers. Are you saying that for yourself, if you don't want to accept any of the offers or sell ebay or vault, you should be able to bypass that clock and move the order towards shipping?

Various orders where clock started ticking last week of July.

2 non TCG value bulks pop today...so pretty much around the 45 business days to get done...better than the 65 days that the orders got shifted to. Will see how many more business days before they ship.

A TCG value bulk in QA still...so slower than the two sports bulk.

I forget if "value" non bulk was suppose to be faster than value bulk. Have a value order (sports again) checked in same time as the bulk/clock started the same time but it's still in QA so that one won't meet the original turnaround time of 45 business days. Hopefully it's due to some up charges.
