PSA Grading Fees 2019

I think the other frustrating thing is the turnaround times are all a bit nebulous. It may be 2-day turnaround for Super Express, but it takes 10 days to enter it into the system and start the clock.

Yup. My experience has been that the company is run almost 100% the opposite of how SGC runs their business.

I guess when you are number one and nobody makes you accountable for any of your many errors, and everyone keeps sending more and more business to you, you get to do what ya want.

PSA is the industry standard and grades far more cards then anybody else. Thus, their oops specimens far exceed anyone else is the way I take it. I'm one guy who has no interest in any other company other then PSA. That's who I chose to start with and that's who I will sink or swim with. They do a great job for the most part.

This is what I don't understand, last year I submitted about 1500 cards, as soon as the t/o time became ludicrous, I stopped submitting. I was going to pay up for the 15 day service until i read someone on the cu boards paid for 15 day and is sitting at 51 days. How is that acceptable?

I have found that properly marking the outside of the box, as well as placing a call after tracking shows they received a shipment help to speed up starting the clock. As does dropping it off in person if you're in the area.

How do you get to do that? When I called and asked, they would not give me their address. They claimed that it was a bonded location, and couldn't have everyone just coming in dropping off cards. Or did they lie to me?

I think that's the standard response, but every time I've gone in there were others dropping off cards as well. There is even a room set up to fill out forms, and you wait for an employee to come pick them up. There is a minimum service level at least one of the cards has to meet, but the rest can be at lower levels. A quick google search will show their address even though they don't publish it on their site.

Yes other than marking the outside of the box, you should not have to call and remind them to start doing the job that you are paying them for...
