PSA Grading at National Sports Card Convention in Cleveland in August Question

that T206 Guy · #1 06-21-2018, 11:47 AM

Anybody know what Beckett and SGC Charge?

Are they alot less busy than PSA?

I would Assume so Since There are a Million Times more PSA Cards than Beckett or SGC on eBay.

But Maybe People like me don't want to wait which will make Beckett and SGC busy too?

How Long Do You Have to wait in Line for PSA?

Last year I waited in the PSA line for 1 1/2 to 2 hours Wednesday afternoon. I picked up my cards Saturday afternoon. PSA grading at shows is not really for cheap cards that would normally be submitted under bulk submissions. The reason for the $50 fee is because of the quick turnaround. PSA charges $50 for their 8 day service when you send cards to them.

OK I see.

Makes sense now.

If I remember correctly it was $8 to $10 a card for a 30 Day Turnaround.

What does PSA Charge for this Service these Days (The Cheapest One).

Do you remember the line for Beckett and SGC?

Was that Quick?

Do you know what those two companies were charging?

Calm down T206 guy. Let some some people answer your question as before you ask new ones. Not everyone is correct here. PSA has for the last few years allowed you to buy a platinum membership (currently $249) and get 12 cards graded at the national instead of the 15 you would get by mailing them to California.

Well that is a Good Idea.

Is that for New PSA Members only though?

The Problem is I am only going for one Day.

Does Beckett and SGC also make you wait until the Last Day like PSA Does?

I am Hoping they are Less Busy and I can get it Same Day.

It's for anyone who wants to pay for a membership. If you're looking for flip consistency, be aware SGC is radically changing theirs.

Lets Say I do that.

I am only going for one day so I can't pick it up at the show.

Do they then mail it to me?

How long will that take to get to me?

Can you buy Multiple Subscriptions or Just One?

Is there a Maximum Declared Value or Will They Grade Any 12 Cards at the Show?

Looks like you can grade 9 cards at the National for $250 by buying a club membership. Nice thing is that max value goes up to $1999 declared value per card and they're done by end of show.

That Sucks it used to be 12

I like that they have 2 Hour Grading since I am only going for one day.

I have no problem paying extra to have it done in 2 hours but $300 I don't think so

I didn't check the lines at Beckett. The wait at SGC was pretty short, 10 or 15 minutes. Their turnaround time was also a lot faster than PSA. I submitted one card and it was graded the same day. They actually called me and asked me to come back to their booth before they slabbed it because it had been altered. They asked me if I wanted it slabbed as authentic.
