PSA updated service times
 

PSA updated service times to reflect when cards get to their facility to when they expect them to be graded. See the times below. To me this absolutely insane, bulk is 6 months! All the vintage collectors know it will likely be longer because PSA desperately does not want to grade vintage cards. When this Pokemon crashes occurs, I will be throwing a party.

Value Bulk-> 95 business days
Value -> 75 business days
Value plus -> 40 business days
Value max -> 30 business days
Regular -> 20 business days
Express -> 15 business days
Super express and above -> 7 business days

Judging by how many TPC they are grading, you will be waiting a looooooooooong time for a crash.

I think they’re at minimum going to see a submission slow down soon. Many Pokemon cards are down over the last 3-4 months from my understanding.

Hopefully CGC is faster?

Is Fanatics big enough to buy PSA and kill the brand. That would be quite the payback, wouldn’t it?

I could die happy if that scenario really played out.

I don’t know if PSA shifted some orders to new workflows, but this Value order of mine estimated to be done Jan. 7 went from Prep through Assembly in 3 weeks.

Please, Fanatics has cornered the market on nearly everything and has made things worse in the process. Never wished downfall on a company more.
