My only issue is that when you are searching for cards, they usually only have cards in there that have previously been submitted so for a relatively new set that has been released you have to manually enter the card. They should upload the checklists for every card in a set so you don't have to manually enter them.
Can you please ask PSA to add a section to insert serial number. Its really difficult to remember which serial number card you submitted. Especially whenever you’re submitting over 100 cards at a time. Sometimes you can’t even remember the cards you submitted. Lol
I’m not technology savvy at all! & haven’t submitted anything to PSA in years! But recently put an order together to drop off at the Houston TriStar show. The system to submit was very user friendly for me, the drop off process was painless & the workers there were very friendly & helpful! I will definitely be submitting more cards in the near future, as my collection grows!
In regard to the declared value, there is huge difference if the card gets 10 or 9, (for example 9 being $300 and 10 being $4000), what should I put as declared value in this case? It really should be based on the raw card value..
I believed the "declare value (total)" is the total value for the same card. for example, your 3 jordan stickers would be 3 x 100 and declare value is $300 instead of $100 :).
He also forgot to say the declared value is the estimate of what the card will be worth AFTER it's been graded. Not raw card value. But hey, it's all good. We all make mistakes. He still explained (and showed visually) the rest really well
My last submission was the $14.99 January special, was easy and my order was completed in 6 business days!! Total of 13 days from reception to my door.
PSA is clearly undergrading the GOATS. They are artificially keeping pop counts down at the literal expense of small dealers and collectors. At the same time they overgrade for their biggest customers and friends of PSA.
When inputting the Strawberry cards, you stated that they were $100 each and entered $100 in the declared value, but the box states to put the TOTAL of both items in there, so shouldn't have been $200? Same with the Jordan's.
I may try sending my bgs 9.5's to psa for crossover. Originally, they were all psa 10's. If I go through with it, I would put psa 10 as the minimum grade. I do prefer beckett's grading scale and label design. Although beckett's inner sleeve causes issues with the clarity and presentation. Is there a risk of damaging the card when psa crosses over a bgs, due to the inner sleeve?
Have you or anyone found if you declare and pre pay for your card at psa 10 price they give you a 10 more often then having to reach out to do an up charge ?
It works ok they need to make it easier to edit submission. I noticed an error after I had entered it and had two of the same card. It’s impossible to switch it back and adjust it once you hit final. I had a difficult time redoing the order and and making any changes even before that just playing around with the new system
….. let me give you a free suggestion Mr Wilson. SOMEHOW, you guys need to design a device that can give someone a quick grading “appraisal” of their card for basic centering, scans a photo for them to blow up and inspect their card thoroughly , etc… how many young kids would that bring INTO THE STORE for some help deciding if they should submit said card…. If you don’t already, compliment that with a submission service for any of the major grading companies! Let’s / forces the grading companies to compete for your business / attention. 🍻
Try it on mobile. Then get back to me. Needs lots of work, but it's a step in the right direction. They are missing a TON of images... Basically almost any parallel of a card that hasn't been graded a ton is missing an image.
Maybe the submission process has been streamlined but nothing has changed with PSAs customer service. My latest sub was put on hold. I immediately emailed them trying to find out why and after 10 days heard nothing so I called the number given on the website only to be in a queue for 4 hours and 15 minutes, all to be told my form of payment has been deleted...by them! Evidently it has happened to multiple people lately. Ridiculous
The new system is okay. It is better though. Which shows you how bad it was before. My sub has been in assembly since January 30th. Not sure if i would call that faster.
I dont like how psa makes you do different submissions for cards they consider are in different categories. I had pre 1980 cards, post 1980 cards and auto cards i wanted to have tge autos graded as well as the card. Thats 3 different categories and it was 3 different submissions that they return in 3 different shippments. And the app didn't have the option to select the service to have the autos graded. I had to do that from the website. Aggravating. So instead of getting all mg cards back in 1 order i have to wait for 3 orders.
Does anyone know the guy or business I can send my cards to get graded without having a PSA membership I believe he was on the show a few weeks or months ago?
It's still a goofy system. Why are we asked to declare a value (guess a grade). If I knew the grade I wouldn't need PSA. If I want to under-insure a potential Gretzky PSA 10 and send it in through a mail system that can't even deliver Home Depot flyers properly, that's on me.
Really nice improvements from PSA! This will allow me to delegate the submission portion of the process to others. Or do it faster myself. Great video. Thanks Geoff.
Who in their right mind would grade the Chipper Jones cards? Geoff said the other day it was his dream growing to have a card shop and loves cards but didn't even know at first that Emotion Chipper Jones was a sharp base set in Baseball and Basketball and not an insert set. They came out in 94-95 for Basketball and the Jordan wearing 45 was the fist card until Finest card 331 came out with him in the 45 as well. I guess PSA must be grading these as promotion. P.S.: Maybe blur the screen next time so people don't see 4 digits and exp of credit card :)
It’s an unbelievable scam that they grade based on the value of the card. The grading itself shouldn’t change according to this. A card is either a 10 or it’s not. “Increased scrutiny” entirely invalidates the integrity of their system
Specials because it's expensive, and then you have to wait weeks if not months. Oh also, i have to pay more to get it faster. So, us peasants dont want to or can't spend hundreds if not thousands to get grades. New owner paid almost a billion for the company. Lawd!
Sounds great. Make it easier to fill out and send in...now if they can speed up the process at PSA so you can get your cards back reasonaibly fast, that would be awesome.
The pop control on Gems is really bogus. I can only imagine what the real protocols are behind closed doors. If it’s a gem, it’s a gem. I really love sports cards but the amount of fraudulent activity is a bummer, from this, to fakes, etc.

Jon Jones (UFC) Gold Prizms /10 are the best play in the market right now. If he retires undefeated, these cards are going to be worth $10K plus in high grades. Stock up while you can!
‘boring sorry super long commercial I hope they paid more than a sponsored video because they take 100% of the space and make your content boring and your channel lose engagement
But my question is why anyone would want to wait 45+ days tho......... I have graded with them and others and i can get the same if not better prices and faster turnaround.
PSA is a joke and you "influencers" need to stop pushing junk on the hobby.... They're horrible on consistency and they're slow and expensive... But they'll pay you so you don't care if it hurts the hobby
PSA customer service sucks because it takes almost a month to respond, and cards are taking WAY too long to grade. We all know this business is a scam but come on PSA. With all that money your screwing people out off. At least you could afford to get your shit together and hire more customer service employees.

Totally educational video, for new and old in the hobby. Congrats!

Thats why you better have a keen eye before submitting
@@CDubRealTalk can I be just a regular eye guy and also have a chance to submit also :)
@@v6ll5000 nah you gotta be an optometrist 😂
I believed the "declare value (total)" is the total value for the same card. for example, your 3 jordan stickers would be 3 x 100 and declare value is $300 instead of $100 :).
Was just gonna put this bcuz I think he misunderstood that. Or I did. Lol
Did the same thing on the Strawberry, too. Good catch. Important detail.
Yup, that's correct. Geoff did it wrong
You are correct. That’s why it states “total” and not each card. 👍
He also forgot to say the declared value is the estimate of what the card will be worth AFTER it's been graded. Not raw card value. But hey, it's all good. We all make mistakes. He still explained (and showed visually) the rest really well
Just submitted 4 cards today seemed so easy compared to last time I remember. This is only my second submission.
I recently graded for the first time with PSA and was impressed with this new grading center. Great video as always
Jeff, I feel that you have someone to check and submit your cards for you.
😂💀
My last submission was the $14.99 January special, was easy and my order was completed in 6 business days!! Total of 13 days from reception to my door.
Great job! Havent submitted yet! But will tonite!
They should allow you to give an estimated condition of the cards being graded and link it up so that it auto updates the estimated value
Teapot, can you get Geoff some hot water with lemon?
PSA is clearly undergrading the GOATS. They are artificially keeping pop counts down at the literal expense of small dealers and collectors. At the same time they overgrade for their biggest customers and friends of PSA.
Yes they are.
I have submitted enough times and noticed that the goats always a 9 while everything else gets a 10.
Pop control.
Couldn’t agree more.
I highly disagree. Cope
@@ggfien9373same. The darn graders have no clue whose cards they are grading
We need someone to buy 20 PSA 10 goats. Crack resubmit to PSA & and see if they come back a 9 😂
You said you joined psa for $99 a yr, I understand it’s now $150 a year, is this correct
Looks good, thanks for the video ❤
do you still have to put the cards in the right order? seems small, but that's a bit silly to charge people more because a card is out of order
I wish they let you rearrange the card order of a submission (after adding). Seems like an easy feature I’d expect.
Geoff thx for showing me how to submit! I have 40yrs of card collecting it’s time for me to start the grading process 👍🏻
I'm in the same boat as you sir
they need an option like COMC. pack them up and send them in. let PSA sort them out and figure out what it is
When inputting the Strawberry cards, you stated that they were $100 each and entered $100 in the declared value, but the box states to put the TOTAL of both items in there, so shouldn't have been $200? Same with the Jordan's.
For the PSA special if your order is made before the end of the month do you still qualify for the promo price if they get it in March
That price for membership jumped to $149 or $199 fir premium.
I sent out 35 cards and this was the fastest I receive it back with PSA.. 2 weeks … for the new year special…
How much per card was that special? $18.99 I am sure lower than that right? Hopefully they will have another special coming up soon.
@@BostonSportsFan33 14.99 ,, and yeah right now they got a baseball special.. putting something together for that..
Would it be an issue to just declare value of $500 on every card even if there all under $500 value ??
If you want to pay a boat load for shipping insurance, go for it
Why?
Awesome ... very cool and looks like it works well. Very exciting.
I may try sending my bgs 9.5's to psa for crossover. Originally, they were all psa 10's. If I go through with it, I would put psa 10 as the minimum grade.
