Since nobody responded. I guess the only advantage is the consignment feature.

One advantage is that to get the $19 bulk price direct with PSA you have to send in 20 cards. Going through PC there is no minimum amount of cards you need to send to get the $19 rate.

This, being able to keep a rolling credit and continually using grade to consignment is a top notch tool.

Are you guys doing regular business still or all focused on the National? I'm debating sending a grading order for consignment, but I won't be at the show.

Possibly but not likely.

My latest submission returned the day before the show. Thanks guys.
Pujols was an SGC 5
Molina was an SGC 8.5
Duncan was an SGC 7
Even though SGC is still my preferred grader, they can sometimes get the grades wrong.

Awesome Sho-times. Grade everything of him because most base, even if a 9 makes money.

Any idea what's going on with Bulk 2023.285? Shipped a month ago and still not checked in at PSA. I know they are slow lately, but that seems completely ridiculous.

Thanks!

Few questions for people that do this.

1. When you ship cards out to PC do you usually take out insurance on them?

2. Do you get cards back well before 65 days or is 65 days an accurate timeline?

3. If you don't want to consign after the cards are graded how much is shipping back to you?

Sort of random but majority of my orders was faster. For example I got 2 orders which were assigned (so PCS received them earlier) pretty much exactly a month apart and both popped on the pop report last week (still QA2 on PCS' interface) - but haven't had a submission taking longer than 65 days.

I always put insurance on my package when I send it to PC. I have never had an order lost, but had one get lost in the USPS system pre-COVid.
2. Do you get cards back well before 65 days or is 65 days an accurate timeline?

I have not had a single order from start to finish take longer than 5 weeks.

3. If you don't want to consign after the cards are graded how much is shipping back to you?
You actually pay for your insurance/shipping when you put the submission in the site.

I hope this helps

Express 19 taking forever. Received 7/13 and went to research & ID on 7/20. Still shows QA 2.
Looking at the pop reports, I'm guessing my Hand on Helmet Ohtani got a 9.

I have several subs that show in QA 2 for the last week that are on the pop report. My guess it's a little slow with national.

Congrats, some nice stuff!
Always like when people post results in this thread other than just the usual complaints about how long turnaround times are!

Yeah, I think my regular 10 day order is done as well.
Definitely didn't need the sub done in 2 days but had no choice on the level based on PSA values.

Just takes time to get em back from PSA. We pop them the day before they come back. No slow down on our end.
