Not really. The only reasons to grade vintage cards with PSA despite all of the headaches and delays and high costs are to: (a) compete on their registry, or (b) make money on flipping the flip.
Like it or not, PSA sh**s money for submitters...that's the ballgame right there regardless of age of the cards. I sent in a raw beater Bill Russell RC worth about $600 and several months (and an upcharge) later I owned a PSA 1.5 worth $1100. Now worth $2000. And who is gonna pay top dollar for a 1952 Mantle or a 1958 Jim Brown if it isn't in one of those sacred plastic holders with the holy script numerical grade writ on the label?

I would agree it's about far more than modern PSA 10's.

PSA is like the abusive partner you can't seem to leave.

I didn't know anything and sent my first card to them over two months ago, and they are just now starting the grading and stuff. Maybe I will get it back next year.

I was going to send a card in express. Wondering if I'll get it back in 15 days.

If only I could start the submission process for the cards I hope to buy soon. Kind of like enrolling your child in a private school before they're even born.

Meanwhile, I've been purchasing graded cards and then breaking them open when they arrive.
Raw cards RULE!! |

I sent a Clemente RC to PSA for "Express Service" on 12/19 and they show as having received it on 12/30
Currently status is still "Grading" Stage -So by the time this one gets back to me I will have just about $100 in getting it graded and turnaround at over 1 month. Also Bobby's bulk submission that we sent to them at the end of May still shows in Assembly Stage (I think)

submissions
How many submissions is PSA receiving--possibly in the 500,000 range some weeks?--why? A card flipper told me he recently sold a PSA Graded Labron James Topps RC for $6,200--the buyer was extremely filled with happiness!
There you go, follow the money! |
