PSA complete through dates stalled

NATCARD · #1 06-30-2022, 01:56 PM

I have 1 order (250 cards) Value Modern Received 3/16/21. Entered 4/30/21 Made it to QCheck1 Today! 2nd order 25 card value vintage, received same day 3/16/21 entered 1 day earlier 4/29/21 and still in grading! 425/426 days! There are cards in these orders if they do not 10 and they will not, are worth less than the $20 submission fee as the market for such cards has gone bye bye, like my cards. Jeff W

578. Slabdication
When the anger over ridiculously long delays, coupled with the grading company�s poor attitude towards its own customers, grows so intense that you swear you will never spend another dime sending cards their way.

I just received my 250 card order back after 16 months. Just as background info I have been in the business since 1978! I think I can grade cards pretty well as I have a return rate in my auctions of less than 1% and ebay is about the same. I have opened about 1/2 the order and that is all it took to stop and rant. Their grading is PATHETIC at best. I have cards in this order that are plastic cards. Would literally need to be put in a fire or rolled under a car to be damaged and they received 5's and 6's. A slew of modern centered cards did not receive anything but 8's with a single 9. 7 cards deemed minsizeQ (Another money grab by PSA). Cannot wait to open the other half. Jeff W

Now on (I believe) their 10th day of "assembly," my cards will apparently not get back to me within the first 500 days.

I have had a ticket stub sub sit in "assembly" for two months now.

Money grab ? They don�t freaking charge you on minimum size. If you are going to bitch at least be factually accurate ffs. Frankly I think they�ve been pretty good lately.

To get the fact right THEY SIMPLY HAVE TOO MANY CHEFS IN THE KITCHEN. They have no clue. I have spoken to numerous, "Major graders, Auction Houses" and most if not all agree right no the grading is suspect at best. Not too worried about the 7 card no charged for min sz more bitching about the 100+ cards that ware just a complete JOKE. Especially after 16 months. Add up all of the wrongs by them and there is not much right! Jeff W

It makes sense that the complete-thru has ground to a halt....it's at the spot where they had to shut down, so you know they were getting absolutely buried in submissions.

That's the answer -- they were getting some crazy number of submits the last few days they were open. When you get a foot of snow in one day that will take a lot longer to dig out than six inches over the previous month...

sounds like the 250 card worthless lot was worth the wait. PSA, have to love them to get 250 "Plastic" cards graded. If you want to be angry at someone look in the mirror, LOL. That's where the anger should originate. Not with those known flam artists. Don't be so hard on yourself. Just stop it and you'll get over it eventually.

Chuck, not sure what planet you collect or deal on, but on this planet a business should be run with some customer appreciation as that is who pays the bills. PSA has NONE! Jeff W

Oh, I couldn't agree with you more. Their lack of concern for customers, their criminality are all reason not to deal with the company. Any company. You knew they were/are F faces and you sent cards to them anyway. Cards that had no business going there to, IMHO. That's on you my handsome friend.

I won't be a billionaire, but I run an ethical, timely business where I answer my clients questions and get done what is asked of me. Most of my clients dwarf P S And A. That's what service companies do. Not spit at their customers.

I wouldn't send them a ham SUB sandwich to grade. I don't care about their re tard ed registry or the 500 day waits. I only care about POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPP.

Do you see how stupid that word is? POP. Their service is for nimrods. Just stop it. Hope you're cured.

Yep I got a really bad case of Slabdication about 2 years ago - I'm feeling much better now....
