Once again, a big Thank You Matt! I followed your instructions of cleaning the cards before submission and got 5 Gem Mints out of the 8 cards I had sent. Cheers!

POW 💥

[@high-end-prospector]

I watched this video and submitted 2 cards to PSA exactly as shown in this video. PSA received my submissions 10/15 (I went with express service). I received a email today 10/22 from PSA that my cards both received grades of PSA 10 Gem Mint and are in the shipping phase !! Both were modern issues w/ low serial numbers of Tom Brady (2020 Obsidian Purple Flood 1/16 & 2020 Obsidian Red Flood 1/26). I didn't expect to receive 10's on either of them going into it, was just hoping for 9's, I was going to put both in my pc no matter the grades, so I was overjoyed/shocked when I seen the grades. Thank you for the content, I'm certain it helped !

Wow... their prices went up a lot. I watched your last PSA submission guide just yesterday. I'm new to cards because I stumbled across a collection of old baseball cards. Currently pricing them using your eBay guide. Thanks for all the info! Your channel is very helpful to me right now.

[@fastfootedone]

Be very careful.......card prices are dropping prodigiously in the past two months as the economy suffers.

[@Kblack8607]

@@fastfootedone Thank you for the heads up. I assure you that I'll take the advice seriously. I haven't made any new investments recently - what I'm going through now is a binder of just over 600 baseball cards from the 70s to 90s that I picked up at Goodwill for about $30 earlier this year. I haven't found any major bangers yet, but I have found quite a few that are potentially in the $50-$200 range if graded high. And they're all in great shape. Taking my time with it for sure.

Watched this video and am submitting my first group to PSA today. I would add one piece of context, if you have multiple submission types (Modern, Utltra Modern and TCG) like I did in my first submission, you won't be writing that type of the outside of the box. My box is all setup ready to hit the post office tomorrow. Thanks for another great video man!

However PSA still shows no active order in their system on my acct. you mention on your video the Newport Beach location being the “one you want.” Is there a reason for that in terms of time it takes to grade? Or have I not received confirmation from PSA yet due to their extreme volume these days? Thanks again for your insight.

Awesome clear cut video. Just recently sent another submission and your video is a great reminder of properly sending out cards to PSA.

[@PeterDunbar]

Thanks!! Did you stop using the post it note strips on the penny sleeve for ease of pulling the card out for the grader?

I believe since they have to be in order as per the packing slip, he's had to break the cards in 3 parts. So he's just letting them know which stack to grab first so all the cards will be in order.

Bro.. Step by Step.. This is my same processes! Even point of extra bubble wrap from random packages!! #Real! I love it haha

[@roofuz3820]

Great video. It sucks that instead of scaling to meet demand they just raise prices and get rid of membership tiers.

[@mcnell311]

Someone smart is going to disrupt this grading space. PSA has been lazy

[@mattpatrick3536]

if you think about it, you either get 6 or 15 free submissions with those tier levels. gold level 6x $12-15/card, then your savings = $72-90. The pricing to be a gold member is $90 more. Platinum level 15x $12-15 = $180-$225. The pricing to be gold member = $190 more than silver. Basically your value comes in getting the market guide and quarterly specials. If you don't care about the quarterly specials or the market guide, then the higher level tiers aren't a tremendous savings. PSA members feel free to correct me if I am missing other benefits that higher level membership receives.

This is my issue and if we value them too high do you get a refund.

[@tomw.4255]

@@tslomka6272 I would value them lower, versus valuing too high and worrying about a refund. I think he shows that in a different video and goes on to explain that if you undervalued it and it's worth more, that they'll send you an e-mail basically saying that you have to pay more. That would be what you want and that would be a good thing.

Love the content man & good luck on your grades! So, I know that when submitting modern and ultra-modern you have to fill out separate submission forms. But does that mean that you also have to put both modern and ultra-modern in a separate shipment or can you combine shipping in one box?

Combine same box. Just include the paperwork for all and label/separate the orders

[@fastfootedone]

PSA is taking advantage. Some friends and I submitted some cards for 25 day sub 3 months ago, and still no word. I guess they and BGS know they have the market cornered, so they don't have to adhere to their promised targets, and they def won't refund you any money when they don't stick produce.

[@Reggaetonaldo]

Wait did PSA raised their prices? Wasn't the cost of grading a regular card for non members, 20 bucks?

[@el_vandragon]

They had a tier for $20 but it’s currently available (probably due to covid and or demand) so for non members $50 is currently the lowest

[@rickyfiorentina]

@@el_vandragon 50$ a card is so overpriced lol i hope people aren't pay that is a scam

[@DFusions_]

When I was on the website back in September it was $50 now its $100 as of October which was the last time I checked

[@azeridave]

I would suggest to anyone right now to be aware there is a HUGE backlog at PSA and regular service is now taking about 6 months to get your cards back. Its getting ridiculous so make sure you are ready to wait and wait and wait unless you pay more money for quicker service. Also, make sure the cards are worth getting graded. It doesn't make sense grading cheap cards unless you want it for yourself to be graded. You will never get your money out of the money you spent to get graded. I would only send in expensive, very popular cards that are worth good money to cover for the grading process.

Matt, nice video. Enjoy your channel. Did want to say that the declared value effects the return shipping charge you pay, so by "maxing" it out unnecessarily, you're overpaying for return shipping. So, in times where we're all trying to keep our hard earned money and make it work for us, might want to take a careful look at that. Not suggesting go cheap, just accurate so submitters don't overpay. Thanks. Dave

YESSSS 🙌. Thx for the updated video. PSA has undergone some massive changes, including the elimination of the $20/card option. What do you do if you have like 30 cards that fit into Value Modern..... but 3 of them are also autographed (pulled from packs). Can you combine the autograph authentication request along with the value modern? or would those 3 auto cards where you want the card and the auto graded have to be submitted in an entirely separate submission for just those 3 cards I wonder?
