My PSA Submission Journey
15 “Free” Platinum Club Submission ( Club membership $ 249 )
6-29-2020 Sent Package out from Michigan ( Small Flat Rate Box Insured ) Listed on Box “15 Free Platinum Club “ = Total Cost = $ 15.40
7-1-2020 Delivered. Only 2 days, great service by USPS.
8-3-2020 Received by PSA to start processing ( 33 days after arrived )
8-21-2020 Shipped from PSA (51 days after arrived, 18 days after being processed), Shipping charge of $20.
8-26-2020 Arrived today ( total time 58 total days from my shipping to receiving back )
Total : $284.40 /15 = $18.96/card.

Not happy (see 2 of the enclosed 15 cards ). The T206 Donovan can’t be moved, it was slabbed this way and no one checked it before shipment ? And what is wrong with the Jeter card, can anyone help me with this one ( Graded 6.5) ?

"PSA encapsulates every card in a tamper-evident, sonically-sealed case. These attractive, hard plastic cases provide protection from pressure and most damage.

Once encased, you can rest assured that your cards will remain secure from further wear."

Don't worry. Your Donovan is secure from further wear.

Not bad with the time from start to finish. That Jeter looks like a minimum of a 9 all day. Not sure what is going with that card. Bummer about the card shifting.

[swarmee]

Probably a scuff or surface scratching on it.

Wild Bill is nonplussed.

[Bridwell]

It doesn't take much of a flaw to drop a newer card from a 9 to a 6.5, unfortunately. Looks great in the scans.

The T206 Donovan may have slipped during packing or shipping. You might be able to tap it down into the slot, or you could always send it back for a free re-slabbing next time you do a submittal.

I think it's cool. You have the only T206 Donovan, in which he appears to be balancing a book on his head. Who else can say that?

I often get reamed by the PSA apologists for saying negative things, so am trying to see the glass half-full these days.

Boo hoo.

Pay people for their opinions, and their opinions you will get.

And, sometimes those opinions are packaged as if they don't really care about you, or your cards.

But, at least they got your money and responded in what I'm sure they consider to be a timely manner.

Valid suggestion regarding the Jeter - bust it out and have Dmitri Young resubmit it for you.

Every order that I have sent in has at least one card that is a head scratcher. It is almost like they want you to send cards in more than one time.

when it comes to PSA, the glass is not only half empty, it's cracked and leaking.

My guess on the Jeter is that some noob grader didn't realize the front design is angled and downgraded it for being diamond cut.

[Throttlesteer]

I agree with the comment around a surface scuff. The scans are tough to pick up, but it looks like there might be some abnormalities on and to the right of the large "T" in 1st.

Hmmm, I wonder why that would be?

I did resubmit a Joe Morgan RC that they graded a 5 and it came back a 7.

[puckpaul]

I sent a card in from vending that they said was trimmed and wouldnt grade. SGC gave it an 8.
