If i have a card that could be worth 2k is psa going to charge me more to get the card back?
@ChrissyWhispers88823 сағат бұрын
I don’t know the specifics because I haven’t sent it in myself through GameStop. But I’d imagine they wouldn’t send a card that expensive in or they would have up charge you. I think it might even specify on the site.

People are saying that GameStop submissions are bad in general which I don’t understand why people think they wouldn’t purposefully give 9s unless they can up charge the card. I’d imagine GameStop wouldn’t do that considering people would catch on and it’s simply bad for business. I think it’ll be fine. And I think your grades will be appropriate for the grade… assuming the grader lol. But that’s another conversation. I don’t think submitting through GameStop is going to affect the grades in any way
@stevenguy550712 күн бұрын
@ChrissyWhispers888 i agree fully! I meant more so the experience along with it - not getting them in reasonable time, gamestop holding onto them, etc. But other than that, I'll be happy to get the first slabs I've ever graded myself! I'm excited about GameStop grading, i already pay for the Pro, and it really took me from wondering if I wanted to grade right to my local GS

I got my cards back from GameStop. They didn’t come in a box like that. They just handed me a stack of slabs. The whole system is a joke. The grading system is a joke. PSA is a joke if you go through GameStop the only way you’ll get a 10 if the cards worth a lot of money that way they can up charge you if it’s a card they can’t charge you on. You’re gonna get a nine or lower.

Yeah that seems to be the process. I plan to drop some cards off just to see myself. However as time passes I feel it does make sense to have the membership. You get to ship when you’re ready. Not when GameStop has built up enough to send a submission, or however they decide their submission schedule. Plus, one less transition from hand to hand plus the potential money to be made from just simply selling the magazines when you get them.

LCS owners, who submit to PSA at a flat rate of $25.00 per card, but refuse to adjust their prices to PSA specials, are beginning to suffer the wrath of their poor business practices! I took about 30 cards that were part of PSA's $15.99 special to a local sports cards shop who group submits to PSA , literally ready to drop off my cards and swipe my credit card, but the owner refused to lower his $25.00 flat rate per card and match PSA's $15.99 active special, so he lost a sale and a customer! Look, LCS owners, get out of your feelings and adapt and overcome! I will still be willing to submit via my LCS over GameStop, if they'd simply adjust their fee structure to PSA or even SGC's special, which is only logical, right? I mean, am I being obtuse by requesting this? Yes, I learned "obtuse" from the best movie ever, in "Shawshank Redemption!"
@ChrissyWhispers888Ай бұрын
I don’t know if obtuse is the word. But, I’m not sure I agree with the sentiment about them meeting psa special sub prices. This is a business for him and he’s the one who holds the subscription, and he’s the one doing the work. I don’t think it’s fair to expect a store owner to not make money because you feel he should match. He needs to make money at the end of the day. If you’re looking for c cheaper price. GameStop is literally cheaper per card.
@sourcingsailor4987Ай бұрын
@@ChrissyWhispers888 If collectors or even flippers knew their local sports cards shop matches PSA/SGC's special or at least come as close to it as possible, then that alone creates foot traffic, which creates word of mouth, which creates more foot traffic! Then, when collectors and/or flippers bring their submissions to your store, chances are they will look around, and if they look around, chances are in your favor that they will see and find something they like and if they like something they may buy something. All from foot traffic created by good business practices. I understand where you are coming from, but business owners amend their practices often. Remember when Target started, they were literally advertised as the "ant-Walmart!" Remember when Verizon and AT&T catered to business men and looked down their noses at regular people? Well, Target, Verizon and AT&T had to adjust. Now Verizon and AT&T are offering cheaper plans than Sprint and T-Mobile,why? Because Sprint and T-Mobile gained popularity by offering the same phones and service as Verizon and AT&T, without the required high FICO score and hoops to jump through. Target, Verizon and AT&T are businesses who knew they must adjust or lose out. LCS Owners better adapt quick, fast and in a hurry if not they will end up on the outside looking in.

I saw in the comments of another video that PSA broke out a separate grading team for GameStop which is kinda fucked. Since it is in fact cheaper and you don’t have to worry about PSA annual subscription fee and ultimately PSA ends up making less, I would really hope they don’t place a more aggressive but unspoken grading methodology by management. I’d be pissed if I sent a card that in a 10 should be $600 above raw and PSA 9 would be equal to raw price, and then I get a “GameStop” grader and my card comes in less. So I may not really be saving money
