GameStop x PSA

ha honestly I dont disagree. Between that and the fact that PSA is turning these bulk orders out in 3-4 weeks while normal PSA users have no movement- I definitely think they are goosing the service through Gamstop right now

And I dont even mean this as a slight to anyone, but Ive been following this online out of curiosity and you're telling me casual collectors who dont even know the difference between a top loader and a semi rigid are getting back like 90% gem rate submissions of tough to grade Pokemons.

I will say, with the raise in return shipping cost from PSA the GS process becomes more attractive.

NEO posted a great video about this. Basically they have graded 85k in a month!

Big fan of what GameStop has been doing recently. I hope PSA grading comes to the Canadian stores soon. Also Nat Turner joined the GameStop board of directors. Seems awesome for both companies.

Dropped off at Gamestop on 10/26. Graded Yesterday. So literally just short of 1 month from dropoff. I dont know if I should be Mad or Glad. You be the judge..

I'd be happy. The white print mark under the A would stop it from gemming (well, most of the time). Also some white on the bottom left.

Unless there's a really good special, it's looking like group submitters are the way to go based on results from direct subs that people are reporting here/twitter/reddit the last month or so.

Yeah, I seen the white spot in the scan as well. I think I am still happy with it seeing as how I bought the set for $30 back in 2014/2015 at a card show, and the box was in horrible shape.

The thing about Gamestop is that I can submit one card a month for $15 and pay no shipping since I have a pro membership and get $5 credit every month. Otherwise it is only $19.99 and free shipping for anything after that. They mail it out, then when it returns, I pick it up locally instead of paying shipping to a group submitter across the country and then paying for postage back to my mailbox.

There are definitely Pros and Cons.

for 90s stuff psa 9 is the new 10. 10s are impossible to get for older stuff.

Has anyone gotten their cards back yet recently or seen movement on shipping? I sent mine in nearly a month ago and it's still saying sending to PSA

I have one that was graded but still says that its been graded. Mine doesn't show as ready for pickup yet. I am going to call the store today. I dont like that I can't see the tracking of it when it leaves the store or heads back. Can the store associates see that info? I had some at another store in the "Order Shipped" status for almost a week and a half. PSA was closed Thursday and Friday though too.

Any updates on how the tracker works? It doesnt seem to update very often.

Mine updated from the Graded status to "ready for pickup" at 49 days. I think what happens is that they have to give you the cards after the 45 day mark, so probably anywhere between 45-50 days I would think you would see the status change. I have 3 other cards that are sent out. 2 were sent out from one store on the same date as different orders (I dropped one off on Nov 7th, and one on Nov 11th). Both shipped together and only one shows as PSA Processing, the other (Nov 7th) shows as Cards Shipped.

I submitted one on Saturday at a different store when I picked up my Barry Sanders RC and it already says "Card Shipped". That store mails out every Monday regardless of how many received.

As far as whether they can track the cards, the kid working at my gamestop has no real clue about life in general, so would be a bad person to ask.

[halldogg]

I just received my 2nd and 3rd orders that I submitted through them today. Those were submitted beginning/Mid Nov. I received the grades via email a few days ago and got the cards in person today.

Just submitted my first order of 10 cards (Pokemon) to Gamestop. This looks like a winner for lower end cards. Another person behind me and had some really nice Pokemon cards. I am not sure I would of done that, up to 2k value cards.

My grades popped a week or so ago but mine aren't ready to pick up yet

How many total days since you have dropped off at the store?

[anusinha]

My 12/2 order is ready for pickup but my 11/24 order is not, weird.

[glassofwater]

My order I submitted on 12/12 just got graded so hopefully they ship soon. Really happy after using my points and speed.

My 12/14 order shows it was now "Received". The two I recently received were from 11/7 and 11/14. They mailed them together and the 11/7 card had always showed shipped status and never showed graded until the last moment before pickup, basically. It was odd, since they were shipped together from the store as 2 separate orders.

Chances are, it wont be ready for pickup before the 45 day mark. I would love to know how long from submission you actually get it in hand.

From what I see, I wouldn't expect it til after the 45 day point maybe the 50 day point from submission to the store. Still faster than if you sent it yourself.

My 5 year old pulled the Latias EX SIR 239 right before thanksgiving. Mom and sis went Black Friday shopping and boy and I went to GameStop to sub his Latias.

This morning I received the email saying grading was complete. Unfortunately the Latias was not in there and had been replaced by a 151 Zapados. I called and talked to my local store and I’ve reached out to GameStop customer support.. extremely frustrated. Very first experience with GameStop and they botched it. Card was perfect. Son is devastated. They’ve lost a customer forever.

They are supposed to take a photo of all the cards when they intake a sub, so it should be there somehow.

if you have not given them a chance to correct their error, if they made one, before you come to your conclusion, then i would bet they would rather you do not use them anymore.

This 100%!!

It's like, chill out, it will either be fixed or you will have a case against them. That's why GameStop takes pictures of everything submitted.

Easier said than done to chill when your kid is extremely upset. Especially since the kid is probably closer to 7-9 than 14-16.
