PSA reopens one tier today. Express. And jacks it up from $150 to $200 per card.

Hard to believe, but PSA services and communication skills look fabulous compared to Beckett. I sent Beckett almost 850 cards for grading one year ago come August. Other than an email confirming receipt by my useless Rep, there is no place on their website, etc., whereby a consignor can even see or confirm that they have your cards, let alone know they are "in process". Nice way to do business. Thank you.

ps - I emailed my Rep again recently to inquire and got the most impersonal, rude, lame-arse reply of all-time.........."may be 18 months". When submitting 8/2020, same rep advised "may be up to 12 months".

Ask for your cards back and send them to SGC.

Wow!! Just wow!!! And I thought a year to get cards back was bad. It MAY be 18 months to get your cards back??? Key word being "may"??? Meaning, it could be longer????? Get out of town!

How long before they start a subscription-only "concierge" service?

My Idea: Card Valet

I like the idea of a TPG Card Valet service, where you hand over the keys to your collection, and they park your cards for a very very long time, because you deserve the best. The difference here from normal valet service is that the TPG dictates when you can retrieve your cards. And a large tip is not only recommended, it will be mandatory.

It's been said a 1000 times. As long as people keep paying these TPA's they'll just keep jacking you around. If one person gets mad and doesn't use them anymore theyll be 50 other people waiting that will. It'll never end.

That's the truth! Well said

My guess is that subsequent tiers will go from $100, $50, and $20 to at least $125, $75, and $40, respectively. And to be honest, if it keeps millions of future $5-$20 cards out of slabs, then so be it.

I think they should also start thinking about a “No Grade” service. No grade, just labeled and slabbed. They could charge $10/ea and just crank them.
