Thanks, yeah, it's a confusing list, but does explain one denial I got. One of the tickets (that I didn't mention above) evidently was for a 1913 Pirates game that wasn't played. They agreed to grade the bottom ticket, but someone told me today that the top ticked was denied because the game wasn't played. Haven't looked into the history of why....

It is also appropriate to note that PSA's main ticket grader has recently left PSA.
I'm not sure who is now grading tickets.
It's probably a good idea to offer your insight on the significance of the tickets that you are considering slabbing.
I wouldn't expect too much from PSA other than taking your money.

Why do you feel you need to have the tickets graded and slabbed?

Always the "gentleman"... Scott said it much more politely than I would have. They are more expert at separating you from your wallet than any other "skills" they might possess.

How long did PSA make you wait for those results (or lack thereof?)

This took about a month to get to this stage, and then they'll spend a few more months grading the remaining ones.

As for why I want them slabbed, there's a variety of reasons. In no particular order: appearance/aesthetics, safety, insurance, ease of future sale, etc.

And in my latest reply from them, asking if I should have sent over my own research, PSA said:

no additional information necessary as our team processed each item as it stands alone, without any additional documentation to keep the process transparent and cause no biases.

Okay... thanks, and good luck with it. Hope you get the results you're hoping for!
