How long currently for PSA to enter order into their system?

calvindog · #1 03-26-2018, 09:10 AM

I can't use them anymore for all these reasons. I have registry sets I love but there's no way I'm sending out cards that are important to me which they can't even bother to acknowledge were received for weeks. Who does business like this? They run their business like it's a lemonade stand, not a public company. I'm frankly amazed that the directors and officers of the parent company don't step in and throw out whoever is in charge of PSA. I guess they are covering up their incompetence by being a leader in the field. But how would you like to be a shareholder and find out that they are missing out on a large amount of revenue because some putz in charge is too stupid to figure out how to hire a few more people?

Well stated.

With all the high-tech equipment and software available I can't believe someone has not started a grading company that can grade cards ( by using a laser etc for centering ), and it could be programmed to analyze size of card and review borders and corners etc. And you would get a written read out report with each card ( ie 54/46 centering, etc ). If a company came on the market like this I think it would blow the others away. Also the computer would not know who the owner of the card is , so it could be objective.

Sounds like a brilliant idea!

When this gets fired up, they would get 100% of my submissions.

The PSA Registry is the only reason anyone submits to them -- which is what drives their card values higher. I can't think of any other good reason to submit to them: the Registry and higher prices received on Registry-type cards. What else does PSA offer?

not a new idea/concept...I kinda recall someone on this board working on such a project. The problem is getting people to take their cards that are already graded and come to this new service. Whats the benefit to them?

Include a registry with said new company?

Rosemont sports show direct submission, logged into system within one week (3/18-3/23). I'm not sure if that's the same as "package received" ping on a mail submission but I presume not. My mailed crossover submission-still no update after five weeks elapsed from package received. Gonna get on the horn to try and group the shipment. Maybe will help with the crossover status.

SGC has one.

They were a bit late to the game, so most of the people into registry numbers were already working on PSA.
The SGC registry isn't as easy to use from what I hear. I'm on it, for a bit of fun, and adding stuff wasn't as easy as it could be. The reworking of it didn't help at all.

Anyone new has a hard road to get enough market share, especially in the registry stuff. And since that drives prices, it's even harder.

Couldn't agree more.
