No Minimum Grade at PSA?

[CardPadre]

Well that's absolutely dumb that you can select it on their submission page, really weird.

And they should comp you the return shipping charge since their site fully allows people to enter and expect a minimum grade service. You really have to dig beyond what a reasonable person could be expected to do to find that it is suspended (supposedly temporarily).

And they're trying to stick you with a $50 postage fee for THEIR error??? WTF?

No shock to hear PSA acting in an unfair manner. I still prefer to buy PSA cards but hate submitting to them. Its awful. If it were me, I would call and say I submitted using the information from your website which accepted minimum grades on crossovers. Since you no longer accept minimum grades on crossovers and changed the rules after I submitted you need to send the card back insured at no cost to me. Their request for shipping fees due to their rule change is highly unethical and I would think they would cave to your request.
Does their site still allow submittals with minimum grades on crossovers, or did they at least fix the false information?

Crossovers have minimum grades.

Regular grading does not.

That’s what I thought, too, until I was notified otherwise by PSA this morning (see above).

I feel like someone made a mistake. My friend did a crossover with a min grade at the national. Wasn’t crossed and he was charged. Just like it’s always been.

I got lambasted last time I said this but I know of at least 2 instances recently of a psa reholder where they lowered the grade. And for those I inquiring, there appeared to be nothing wrong with the slab.

Thanks, Rick.

As of an hour or so ago (last time I checked), PSA’s website stated:

Crossover Grading Service

Crossover grading is for cards previously graded by other companies that you wish to cross over into a PSA holder. PSA will evaluate the card inside its current holder. If PSA deems the card worthy to cross over at the customer’s specified minimum grade or higher, the card will be removed from its holder and placed into a PSA holder. Regardless of the result, the grading price will be charged.

There are other third-party grading companies out there, but just one industry leader. We offer our crossover service for collectors who would like to enhance the security and elevate the value of their previously authenticated and graded trading cards. Switching to the most respected and premium brand, PSA, can do just that.
