Meanwhile it appears to me the program is definitely slowing down a bit, taking a day or maybe two more than originally.
My card took 10 days to get to me. This was about 2 weeks ago. This card was raw & deemed authentic.

I just got one back from PSA today.

Here's a quandary: how to scan it without destroying the baggie? The labels obscure a good portion of the back of the card. If I wanted to leave it in the sealed baggie (spoiler alert: I don't), I couldn't see part of the card, ever. So I guess if I want to rely on their service, I will never get to see the full card?

Also, the baggies are as baggy as board shorts, so for display they don't even look good.

I still want to know, if you now sell it in its authenticated kit, do you then have to ship it back to them again?

Would you trust it? Someone could tamper with it and put a much worse card (or even worst, a fake one) in the package, then where would we be?

I just bought a newly graded modern card for $190 plus tax and it has to be shipped to the authenticator. SMH.

What happened to the $250 minimum value? Does that mean that the seller purposely wants all their cards enrolled regardless of value?

What with slabs, baggies and multiple stickers (don't forget Mike Baker's gold and silver beauties ) pretty soon you won't be able even to see your precious cardboard at all. Why won't these parties just leave us alone to enjoy our cards?

Hence the word, baggy, get it outta there

I can see the value of the raw review, if done right by qualified people.
