Has your PSA 10 Gem rate for modern bulk submissions changed dramatically this year?

So in theory, hypothetically, if they offered me the full insured value of my card under value grading ($500) along with the grading fee refunded ($24.99), and the card in the slab returned back to me, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Yikes I had no idea!

I thought the language of that NDA was more about not talking derogatorily about them and the situation. You can talk about it, just not talk sh*t about it. And then they would have to take you to court to get the money back. Shoot, I would let them take me there, just for the adventure, and just to piss them off. I cannot BELIEVE how horrible my grades are this week so far. Just got results for a 50 card order almost entirely graded all 7s and 8s, with like ten 9s and ZERO 10s... And everything I submitted was for 10s... Like I can't tell the difference between a 7 and a 10. WTF!?!?! These people are smoking crack. There is simply no other explanation.

I got 2 subs back today (from PCS), both with outstanding grade results, 70% Gem rates I think (ultra modern sports with a couple 90s stuff tossed in). Even got the dreaded, $500 triple upcharge.

They're pretty clear it's also a confidentiality agreement. I'd share the clause stating the exact text from the actual agreement, but that in itself would violate the agreement, and more importantly, I haven't even received my check yet. So maybe after my check clears.

Wow, that's awful. What type/years of cards did you submit in that order?

I had to sign an NDA from Topps about a redemption fiasco that got resolved, and one of the stipulations in the NDA was I couldn't badmouth Topps in public/social media about the resolution we came to. Lol

PSA never made me sign any kind of NDA when they resolved my bad PSA order that was re-graded.
