Default So if PSA shut down before Prizm released then how....

Then how did these get graded among dozens of others? Should Panini be tracking down and ripping licenses away from those who distributed product early? Or is this PSA allowing some back door orders for special friends? One way or another there is shady business happening, gotta love this hobby.......

Edit: I apologize, no shady business according to the masses, I knew psa was accepting $300 service level cards. I underestimated the stupidity of some in the hobby and for that, I truly am sorry.

This. They're still open for business, just only at the $300+ service levels.

A little more research would have yielded these results:

Super Express is still available, nothing shady/backdoor going on

No shady business. PSA isn’t shutdown they just suspended value, regular and express level services. Premium services like, Super express ($300) and walk through ($600) are still available. You can still grade but you’re paying super high prices

none of these new ebay links work for me. Is as if people are using dead mobile links when they post. Mobile links do not work on anything but mobile browsers

I love how the LaMelo is advertised as Low Pop.

Imagine dropping $300+ shipping and getting a 9 that you can't get rid of.

Woof.

This is interesting. There's literally 2 Zion Prizm Silver's in the PSA pop report right now. Both are on ebay right now. Here they are in comparison - I circled a big difference in them when comparing - I would have assumed the card on the right would have had a harder hit on centering vs the one on the left - but I guess it's within their threshold. I was avoiding this year's prizm cards that were centered like that but I guess it's not a big deal to PSA.

It's a gamble. Curious what the Zion 2nd year will go for and if that will break even.

I may be a bit picky AND cynical but notice how the Zion doesn't have the -21 on it?

Centering has never been a big deal to PSA.

Your so smart with your “research”
I know psa is still open for higher service levels as I have many cards there and have followed the situation closely. Just didn’t think we’d still see base cards submitted to psa in large quantities.

But alas, the flipper bois have no limits. Wish we could all coordinate and not pay more than $300 for any currently graded 2020 Prizm

I feel like all the TPG ignore centering on prizm. They're all over the place.

That takes effort

OP question had a question where he just didn’t want to know the answer because he said he already knew it

Just didn’t get it

Seems like a troll comment after I edited the OP to correct the message and posted here correcting it as well.

My mistake was overestimating the level of intelligence of people in the hobby. Which I shouldn’t have because, as you know, this forum has a ton of idiots

If you know what to look for you should be able to hit over 50% gems. Much higher than 25%.
