Do they refund you if your card decreases in price after up-charging you?

I never thought about it in this way!

It is in PSA's best interest to grade the card as high as possible as this will result in more cash in their pockets. So if a card is borderline 9 or 10, I bet it gets a 10.

I wish! Last 2 years I feel it’s going the other way - keep ‘em down in the 9’s !!! Lol

Results time:

This submission was facilitated by the fantastic people at The Hobby Australia. This is my fourth submission and I highly recommend them for your sub needs!



Basketball:

This submission was mainly an NFL one, but I did have a few beauties that I had pulled over the past year that I wanted to get graded:

1. 2020 Panini Prizm Lebron James Silver Prizm #1:

Bought one off eBay and one off my mate, and I am pretty sure the mate's one came through with the goods here. I wouldn't usually grade a card like this but it's a fairly iconic



2. 2020 Donruss Optic LaMelo Ball Blue Velocity #153:

Had a brutal run with Optic, and this was probably the only decent card I pulled out of LOTS of retail. Glad to tuck this one away.



3. 2021 Donruss Elite Cam Thomas Aspirations #222:

I love the poor mans PMG, so had to get my boy Cam done! Have a Giddey on the way to PSA in the October submission



4: 1997 Topps Michael Jordan #123:

This was a decoy card that was used to get a poor grade out of the way! Next time, i'll choose something a bit nicer, but happy with this card.



Baseball:

5: 2018 Topps Opening Day Shoei Ohtani #200:

Old pull from a box back in the day. Should have opened more



Soccer:

6. 2016 Panini Donruss Cristiano Ronaldo Silver #138: (Pop 2)

Found this was very low pop and couldn't find any other sold anywhere. Couldn't sell it so I just graded it for fun. Glad i did end up sending this one off.



Football:

Just a bunch of cards ripped from the past few years:

PSA10's





PSA9's

Budgeted that these would be 9's except for the Herbert. I will need to be more careful next time review these cards.

Haha of course not. The fact they charge more for the exact same service is ridiculous and it’s definitely in their best interest to ‘up’ grade borderline cards.
They are the self proclaimed ‘market leader’ or authority on grading, but if there was a bigger swing to the other graders I bet they’d change their tune with their fee structure.
All about voting with your wallet!
