It has been over three months since PSA decided to halt almost all of its services to deal with a massive backlog. In an interview, Nat Turner, the executive chairman of Collector’s Universe, the parent company of PSA, confirmed that submissions for their Express level are now open to the public.
Why is PSA so expensive?
PSA, the leader in card grading, dramatically changed its prices on Monday as the uptick in the industry left the company with a backlog of an untold millions of cards. Pricing in most areas has doubled. The lowest level, with the slowest service, goes from $10 a card to $20 a card and imposes a 10-card minimum.
PACKS AND TICKETS UPDATE. The spike in demand for grading services is not just trading cards. Submissions of packs and tickets are on the rise, and we must slow the demand here too before the backlog gets excessive. As of today, we are suspending the Economy and Regular service levels for both tickets and packs.
Why is PSA taking so long?
Even as the cards are piling up, literally behind them, that’s just not something we’re willing to do.” Turner said the enormous backlog of card submissions was caused by a perfect storm of factors during the pandemic during the past year. “What happened is an avalanche of demand,” he said.
A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn’t impair the overall appeal of the card.
