PSA Bulk $18 pre/post 1980

RayBShotz · #1 10-17-2022, 08:18 AM

I predict that the latest round of $18 Bulk will be graded and returned long before the 120 Day promise. I'm thinking more like 60-75 days.
PSA has gobs of capacity now. The only thing that might hold up the works is if supply chain issues make plastic difficult to get.

I can't speak for this specific special, but I think that you're spot on about the extra capacity PSA has - it's kind of overlooked, but they're going to have a LOT more throughput capacity than any other time in their history.

Add that to the pandemic card bubble deflating and I think we'll see better turnaround times, slightly lower prices, and hopefully less complaining on the internet.

Hope springs eternal!

I wouldn't bet on this one though.

Yeah, may have been reaching a bit there.

That July "pre-1995" monthly special I'm waiting on just moved into QA1, so getting closer.

My grades from the "National Special" were just posted today. They were recieved on 8/11 so a little more than 2 months, I can live with that considering my Swinging Sixties submission took 18 months. With this I may be sending more cards to PSA vs SGC, my problem is I kind of like both even though for about 20 years I was primarily SGC, but a couple years ago I switched to PSA because of their specials and SGC prices were considerably higher at that time, but now seem both are in line with one another. I also have an order that arrived to SGC today, and another at PSA, so for now I may use both.

How did you like the grades?

A lot of kvetching lately that they are grading incredibly hard, with cards getting 6s and 7s instead of 8s and 9s.
