I've heard nothing but negative comments about PSA in 2018.
I can't believe SGC hasn't made a bigger push to put together a registry.

Well....they cut their dividend in half and their stock was down from about $26 to $17 today.....problems in their coin grading business. They stated PSA and DNA are doing really well though. For them, that is. Not fur us as the spending public.

I submitted a card right before Christmas and it was graded within the 10 business days. Not sure what's happening lately.

It's really getting bad over there. Everything is taking forever. Long time to log in the cards. Long time to get items graded. People are paying for rush service and instead, having items take months to get graded with no compensation whatsoever. Not a good way to run a business.

I couldn’t care less about the registry for my own cards but it’s definitely useful information. I love SGC though... always come back way before the states turnaround time and I think their slabs look awesome.

What's the rush?
If your card is 100 years old and you plan to keep it forever... what's the rush? I'm not a "card submitter" so just asking

I know one of the issues they've had here in 2018 is they moved to a new/bigger location in California. Even so, that really shouldn't have produced the kind of delays that are being experienced by pretty much everyone, regardless of the service level they'd paid for.
I'm paying well below published rates so my ability to bitch is somewhat limited, but taking 2-3 weeks to enter stuff into their system and then not meeting their service level deadlines kinda ruffles me a bit. It's pretty hard to give an estimate to my customers for PSA orders because of this so I guess the good thing is that most of them don't really care when they get their stuff back as they aren't needing to flip/sell immediately. IMHO, they are basically where Beckett was this time last year - drowning in orders without enough man-power to handle it. They also followed the same path BGS did by thinking increasing prices would slow people down. It didn't then and it won't now. They are going to have to do something here pretty quick or even the most loyal submitters are going to start re-thinking their grading strategies. I'm in a unique position being like 10 minutes from BGS so submitting with them is a breeze for me as I can just run by and drop it off in-person and the clock starts immediately. They are cranking out everything I hand them without issue so just keep that in-mind. Last edited by ngnichols; 02-08-2018 at 08:25 PM. |

Did they ever get their message boards up? Between the failing of vintage cards and the turn time, I've been sending more to SGC as well
