$8300 pack with a now $1200-$1500 mantle plus let's say $500 for the rest of the pack to be very generous. Looks like well over a $6000 loss.
I'm not sure I've seen something so cringe worthy in a while. Still baffled the pack was opened. But hey, he can at least say he pulled it from a pack himself in 2024, not many other people can say that. So that's at least a few hundred for the experience 😆.

He sent a note telling them what it should grade? Uh, ok. I'm pretty sure that's a great way to ensure it WON'T get the grade you are after...
You can tell those are not 8 corners in the video before he even reveals the grade...

I need to ask - I've never sent a card to be graded...can anyone say what he might be paying PSA per card for these large orders? I think he mentioned $15 per card - does that sound right?

And at that price point he's also not getting zippy turnaround. Typically for vintage submitted at the bulk service level, you're looking at a solid 6 months these days. Given how quickly this unfolded, he probably submitted at a higher service level that was a lot more expensive. I've added a snip of some of the higher service level pricing as it sits today.

Yeah, I'd guess since that was the only card in that order, he paid the $129 + shipping each way. So he's bumping up against 200 bucks if he paid full insurance to get it to PSA.

Mantle pack
The truly scary part is that this is exactly the kind of person I envision
getting a job at PSA as a grader. ("I've been a collector for 7 whole years! Opened all kinds of packs and gently placed cards in sleeves, with never a dinged corner. I'm your guy!") Trent King |

The '67 Mantle was a one card order. And he got it back way too fast to have paid the economy price. Not sure what he did pay, but guessing it was not cheap.

In an era where grading "any old crap" with PSA has gone nearly extinct, I salute this dude choosing to grade a whole bunch of rarely graded stuff. His money to burn is my potential treasure.
I'm neck deep into a graded personal collection that was a lot easier to fill when $6-$8 grading specials were around. Luckily, my need for this kind of stuff is only 17 cards at this point. I could end it now by throwing $350-$400 at the hole in my collection, but the hunt is part of the collecting for me. I'm not in a hurry. I don't know what passes through someone's mind when they're deciding to grade a 1991 Bowman Rick Wilkins, but there's 1 graded (PSA 9) and it was $10. |
