Somehow we began talking about how he had gotten the card raw and needed to get it graded quickly for his auction. But because PSA can't return cards for weeks or months, he sent it into SGC instead. Whatever the numbers PSA is doing now they are doing significantly less than they could if they were competent.

I have entire sets of 50s near mint PSA sets that I'd send in at some point to be graded but won't because it's not worth waiting six months for their return. I'm sure plenty of people feel the same.
Maybe people can chime in on what they are doing, it would still be anecdotal but interesting. The handful of folks I know have not switched.
