PSA SLAMS US AGAIN WITH MINIMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT ON FULL SIZE CARDS!!!🤔🤬

[@markstein1916]

Enjoyed the video and your point is spot-on. Not sure the ruler was perfectly aligned with each cards' edges, so you may want to place the supposedly undersized cards back-to-back with those that got number grades. It would likely be a more accurate indicator of "minimum size". By screwing you over, they encourage you to re-submit, and thus rake in more money from panicked collectors. Just a part of the scam that is TPG.

[@enncoinscards4091]

Very true Mark. Thanks!

[@randylochtefeld2806]

My trust level with PSA is zero. Inconsistent grades, pop control, turnaround times, cost. PSA could give a crap less about their customers.

[@enncoinscards4091]

That seems to be a very popular opinion. Thanks!

[@markstein1916]

Could NOT give a crap.... but yes!

[@richfreeman6505]

just had my first card back from PSA undersized. it's a 72 Clemente. will re-submit to SGC. PSA is expensive, they take a long time to grade and are ridiculously inconsistent with their grades. i get that they are the "gold" standard of grading and a high grade in PSA will demand the most money.

[@enncoinscards4091]

Good luck Rich! Please let us know how you do!

[@angelconcepcion7337]

Yeah, I’ve heard all the horror stories lately about PSA. I have not graded any cards. I got some nice ones. I’ve even come to your shop and sold you some. It’s nice to see you make an informative videos

[@enncoinscards4091]

Thanks Angel!

[@bobpace4334]

What a waste of money. The grading system sucks. To me it's just a way for someone to make money. We need to stop buying in on this crap

[@enncoinscards4091]

Feeling that way.

[@bobpace4334]

@enncoinscards4091 why don't all card companies improve on how the cards are cut. Geez I guess then we wouldn't need a grading system and we all would have mint cards. I truly wish we could go back collecting our favorite player

[@markstein1916]

Amen!

[@JackBarton-r9s]

This is why grading companies are ruining the hobby.

[@enncoinscards4091]

Popular consensus.

[@schmoedanz7809]

It's a scam. They want you to keep sending them back to make more money. I've seen tons of videos of people getting the same. They send them back and they get a grade. So sorry to see that. God bless

[@enncoinscards4091]

Thank you for sharing and your support!

[@bobwhite4671]

I love the Jim Brown cards, and the Bench RC, PSA grading is very tough!

[@enncoinscards4091]

Thank you!!!

[@gregwatkins5985]

I feel like I have a pretty good collection but I refuse to get them graded because of horror stories I've read, once I'm gone it's up to the next owner to decide what to do with em

[@enncoinscards4091]

It is a tough decision! 👍

[@ACollectorsDream]

SGC has more tolerance for sizing. PSA not good since vintage cards are never exactly the same size.

[@enncoinscards4091]

It makes it tough. Seems like PSA stands for Please Submit Again.

[@markstein1916]

@@enncoinscards4091 Try SGC.... you'll avoid 90% of these needless headaches.

Rough grades on most of the cards, plus several Minisizers. Ugh!

Stick to coins. Stop sending these idiots your money

[@enncoinscards4091]

Sound advice.

[@williambartenslager4134]

Some of those cards you say are centered are definitely off centered, at least a one grade deduction

[@enncoinscards4091]

Ok

[@robertfrye5161]

As someone who bought cards back in the day you could have different size cards right out of the pack because they were cut by hand, but their graders weren't born yet to know that

[@enncoinscards4091]

Agreed

[@markstein1916]

yup

[@D3Csportscards]

I have seen a lot of this lately with vintage, PSA is a joke.

[@enncoinscards4091]

They are very hard on vintage for sure!

[@Collectorboyjg]

Yes many cards not met size. 69, 62, 63s

[@enncoinscards4091]

Ouch. That is awful.

[@mookiezebra]

What a waste of money sending to PSA these days

[@enncoinscards4091]

Seems so.

[@jennystryker2967]

My advice. Use SGC. Quick turn around time and accurate grading. I gave up on PSA some years ago. Too bad PSA is held the standard in the hobby because they themselves do not hold the standard. Very nice cards. All worthy of the SGC Tux.

[@Truth-s9m]

When I buy graded cards, I only buy PSA. I filter out all other grading companies.

[@enncoinscards4091]

PSA seems to be more popular with my collectors at the moment. Things change however.

[@enncoinscards4091]

A lot of people do the exact same thing. 👍🏻

[@kalamazooenginemachine]

Nice cards and episode; I have tool suggestion, use a digital dial caliper and get the measurements in .001” of an inch. A ruler may not be very precise. 👍 I had a Lemieux RC Box Bottom that was cut just a tad shy.. it was flawless otherwise 😢. PSA Authentic…

[@tomharrison6607]

i have a bunch of box bottom cards and legends magazine cards to be cut i know there is a certain way to cut them but i would love to find an expert that really knows how to cut them properly

[@enncoinscards4091]

Thank you for your suggestions!

[@enncoinscards4091]

Best of luck!🤞

[@clintonsopha4366]

I've seen lots of people having problems with that that's bullshit and what's with this requirement vintage so many of them cut wrong and it's not like you cut them you're not the company making them people should boycott that PSA can I find the way the grade cards they're not consistent it's a joke and you could have the same card same condition and want to come back at 10 and the other one come back at 9 how's that possible

[@enncoinscards4091]

Lots of people feel the same way.

[@poormansstack]

When you measure start at 1 it will get it a little closer.

[@enncoinscards4091]

👍🏻

[@markstein1916]

Right.... the edge of the wood has too much variance and margin for error. Also, you can align the "short" cards back-to- back with those that received number grades.

[@BroxBoysErinJordyn0707]

New to your channel great job on this video. Looking forward to seeing more.👍🏻

[@stanedwards1648]

You want the grades you think go to SGC they specialize in vintage cards

[@enncoinscards4091]

Seems to be a popular opinion.

[@bobkeane7966]

What is the minimum size, from the video they looked about .06 small on camera. For about twenty bucks you should be able to get a dial caliper to know the exact size.

[@enncoinscards4091]

👍🏻

Yea, where them calipers at? A Dollar General ruler and an old set of eyes aint exactly high accracy instruments.

[@enncoinscards4091]

Wow! Nice.

[@ChrisJenkins-r9u]

Honestly, you should be measuring the cards outside of their holders. A nice corked back ruler will protect the cards. If you watch the video back, you'll see that most of them when measured, the ruler wasn't aligned correctly. At least one was at an angle and not straight. Maybe it was the angle, from camera to card/ruler? But your negative tone throughout gives a feel like we knew what your ruler was going to show no matter what. No grading company is perfect, but I have not seen the same issues, outside a rare exception. Also, PSA does not charge the grading fee for N6: MinSizReq, cards that are not slabbed.

[@enncoinscards4091]

Uh yes they do.

[@ChrisJenkins-r9u]

@enncoinscards4091 "N6 Minimum Size Requirement - When a card is significantly undersized according to factory specifications. You will not be charged the grading fee in this instance." You may want to check your invoices. They also do not charge for N8 Miscut.

[@markstein1916]

@@enncoinscards4091 Despite all of PSA's other flaws, Chris is right on this. You should not have been charged for those that PSA deemed undersized.

[@bigeclipse718]

You need to use some digital calipers bro. You can see in the video they were under by a smidge

[@enncoinscards4091]

Ok

I got my 110 card vintage order 2 weeks ago. I got 2 1971 cards recolored and 5 cards were min. size required and I measured these and all 5 were narrow.

I hope the rest of your order went well! Thanks for watching. ENN

[@dennishaas4745]

@@enncoinscards4091 The 2 1971 cards recolored is what concerned me. All these cards were from my childhood collection and I or no one else recolored these. As far as the min size were all 71 or 72 Topps superstars : Palmer and Ryan from 1971, F. Robby and Killebrew from 1972 Topps , F.Robby SSPC also min size! 2 recolored were 1971 Topps Garvey and Mays.

I don't know about your cards , but I will resubmit mine later to another company !

Hope the other company is a good choice! 👍

[@DiamondyardSportscards]

Around COVID time, PSA lost their marbles and became wildly inconsistent. SGC is far more consistent, fair and competent. On the other hand, for non-major stars and commons, because of PSA's set registry, we are forced to go with them. Very few people want a high grade common in an SGC slab because they can't put it into a registry without crossing it to PSA. Keep up the good work with your channel!

[@enncoinscards4091]

The set registry was a phenomenal idea on part of PSA. Thanks!

[@minerism69]

BINGO! It was pre and post pandemic. Pre pandemic they didn't have to both hire new untrained graders and shut down due to volume. To clear the volume and demand after the pandemic the grading has been different. I've had cards come back "min size req" when one was graded and the other was not. Same player, same year, staked together the same size. They were 1969 Topps basketball tallboys.
