PSA Grading Fees 2019

[chalupacollects]

Maybe it's time for the fellows that were developing that computer based system to make their foray into the market!

SGC already announced that they will be going to computer grading and scanning every newly submitted card, right? At least we'll see whether they get more accurate or not. Accuracy and consistency with SGC is not something people normally complained about. Usually it's the resale value.

500 bucks for a card between 5k and 10k seems crazy too. As does 200 bucks for a card from 2-5k. I don't remember the old fees but this seems like a big increase.

Here's a link to the old fees. Some are going up 50% or more.

Apple should write software to grade 100% perfect every time. They could probably slab a thousand a day, and put PSA outta business. hehe

Bright side: their turnaround time estimates are 50% less accurate.

So is their grading accuracy.

Have they announced new autograph fees? And is it now $200 to grade ANY T3? That is more than many of the commons value.

Yeah it is absurd. It obviously is not costing them THAT much more so this is just an attempt to get a piece of the action. SGC does a much better job at getting it right the first time so despite their cards typically selling for less, I think I will spend my money with them.

Why does PSA raise their fees? Because they can.

I will be much less likely to send in cross over or bump attempts at these new fee levels. Hopefully others feel the same and fees will return to more reasonable amounts. I don't feel like spending 10% of what a card is worth just for another post it note that says corners.

Fees will never go down. That's like waiting for airlines to get rid of the baggage fees when the price of fuel goes down.....it never happened.
