This comment needs more likes. I walked into the post office to drop off a package luckily I asked if it was good enough. PSA failed to mention I needed to get my own shipping label on the box. I about got in an argument with the guy saying "I did pay for this label" lol. He said it wouldn't work and I'm glad he did. Researched this video in the parking lot and found this comment. Saved me a lot of time
Man, we kept the pull tab market alive the last few years. Finally, we know what the preference is. I've been curious on PSA's pull tab stance for years. The tab pulls the card out smoothly and keeps your cuticles from getting cut up. Are there any reasons why pull tabs are not preferred? It seems like a net positive.
Im curious too, although sometimes when pulling on pulltabs the the tab comes off leaving you with something sticky on your finger and the card still in the cardsaver. So I guess with the quantity of cards they have to go through it’s probably just faster without.
Wish psa would let you pick between different color options for the slab label to match the card. 🔥👌and show why you got the grade in images showing where the defect is like that grading company that does this forgot name of them.
@Kybone because everyone is obsessed with paying premium for PSA slabs rather than a company like TAG where they actually provide a graded report on the card with detailed photos and analysis. Crazy, I know. An actual card grading.
I went to UPS yesterday since they're near me but they acted like I was idiot for telling them that was the shipping label. So I guess it has to be done through fedex or usps. I dunno. I couldn't find any additional information on this specifically so I'll just find out tomorrow by goin to fedex.
@@GreatInterstellarStudiosyou gotta mail urself and pay label urself they gave u a barcode that is their own company’s way of identifying ur package. Not a label to ship so they were right for looking at u that way lol
The turnaround times on the website are ESTIMATED. Factors such as how many cards you get shipped will change that. So if you have a lot of cards in an order, expect it to take longer than the estimated time.
Do I still have to pay for shipping? Or does the submission barcode act as a shipping label? If so then do i write the the shipping address and return address on my own?
Seems like a simple question, but it’s actually a good one and for some reason not stated clearly. PSA is acting like they’re making this sooooo simple when they really haven’t.
@@dotsftwgaming5765 nope, they will end up at the mail recovery center in Atlanta’s odds are I’ll never see them again. So bummed. First and last ever submission
It's funny because they say "DO NOT OBSCURE YOUR SHIPPING BARCODE WITH TAPE" @2:38 they apply it with tape. Sooo what's the actual best way to do this?
@@blackcyprus7344 I don't think they are though because I had someone at the post office said the reflectiveness of clear tapes causes barcodes to be harder to scan. Weird.. I put tape over my barcodes and have never had a problem.
This is what i thought and when i did the form, I didn’t notice It still said 18$, stupid of me i adjusted It and it’s now the $15 price but the submission number changed and I already sent It in the mail with the original #, same cards. Any clue what their customer service will do?
honestly the no pull tab thing is a VERY bad idea and i hope you change your mind , with how flimsy card savers are the only thing that risk to happen is damage to the card if it needs to be pulled out for whatever reason before reaching PSA .
The barcode on the paper they provide you called "Submission label." The address is given in the submission form papers. USPS and FedEx label information is provided for both.
you can still send them in the magnetic one touch case/toploader if you currently have them like that. theyll still process it. just run the risk of the card moving while in transit
They don't care that much tbh probably a preference thing I'm doing the sane on my next order.. I also cut my card savers down the side when insert the card just cause it's easier and they already do it
@@ClydeFr0g911 I just graded one. Umbreon VMax #215, it came back a PSA 10. I think it cost 45 then they had to raise it a tier to 95$ because of how much the card was worth. Their prices changed during and after covid
After forming a monopoly by purchasing SGC, they decided to raise costs on the consumer per usual with greedy companies. If you want to pay $19 a card, you've got to get an annual subscription costing $149.99. For the value bulk of $19 a card, it's a minimum of 20 cards. So, with the grading cost of $380 + $8-$12 shipping, insurance, and return shipping of $44 (for me it was anyway) it'll cost you about $415+ depending on shipping, card valuations (they can upcharge you if they deem a card(s) valuable), and insurance. Have fun!
They want you to use card saver 1's instead of top loaders cuz of the possibility of too much movement in a top loader when you get way more movement in the ones they prefer. Make it mske sense PSA. 🤦♂️
YOU NEED TO PRINT A SHIPPING LABEL TO SHIP FOR ANY BOX! There I helped PSA with the most important thing
Can i ship with ups?
@@RedexYT_ You have your choice but the address is different. I recommend sticking to USPS
@@RedexYT_ I believe the options are for FedEx and USPS

I second this. Quite curious as to why pull tabs are not preferred. With that said, it's nice to finally know your preference for future subs! :)
It makes 0 sense. They said it “slows down orders”. How? It literally makes getting the cards out quicker and easier lol!

What about the sleeves with the tab already built in
Just gets in the way and isn't needed

Other companies do that - why don't you use them?

Needed this
I'm so scared to send my charizard ;(
Can I send just one card to be graded?
So how are they gonna get my card out without damaging it!?
Dang, I sure enjoyed using Pull Tabs. They added some flair and fun to the submission.
i have a joey votto card that i wanna grade i don’t care if it’s not a high grade i’d just like to have it in that nice hard box :)
Kinda crazy how many people think they don’t have to pay to ship their cards lol you thought psa was gonna pay that shipping cost???
facts
its cus the cards alone for the grading itself is already expensive asf
every single place where you pay for a service 99% of the time pays for your shipping
great info, thanks!
Does it gives us a page to print the shipping label? Or is the bar code scanned at a post office for them to print out a shipping label for you?
did you find out the answer to this?
Anybody know?
You can print them yourself. They provide two options. One for USPS and one for Fedex. I prefer using USPS. Good luck!

You'll also need a printing label, where it's going ..
You forgot to add the part where we wait for almost a year to get submissions back
Isn’t it 65 days now?

@@thefengshuiwaker 65 days is the estimated amount of time. It’ll vary depending on service level and amount of cards shipped.
Pull tags help from getting tips, the sides of the skin of fingers from getting cut up or jammed and start to peel. Your welcome PSA.
Can we go to PSA and drop of the cards if we live close by ?
You lucky bastard! 😂
Do I still have to pay for shipping? Or does the submission barcode act as a shipping label? If so then do i write the the shipping address and return address on my own?
I shipped out my first submission ever a week ago today. With just the barcode. I’m actually sick to my stomach.

I use top loaders
Are we responsible for purchasing our own shipping label to send to PSA? I know we get charged to have it sent back but what about sending to?
Seem like yes you have to go to your local shipper. Super expensive when it’s all added up.
@@mfreedom1shit not really lol the most expensive part is paying to get it graded.
I had to pay 50 to ship mine out the way boxes get thrown around had to pay 20 for insurance so the shipping does add up
@@kaseyrolow I’m in Canada so that’s my problem.
@@mfreedom1there isn’t a Canadian equivalent?
will psa not grade if I use topleaders? or they just prefer to not have toploaders
they'll grade it but it will take u months to get ur cards back
Great video, but needs updated. The current instructions specifically say 'do not tape over the barcode!'
Will a Card Saver I fit a thicker card like a patch/relic card that's 79pt+ thickness?
It should yeah just use something similar in thickness to test it out so you don't damage card
How do these instructions change for auto patch submissions? If at all?
They are thicker cards.
What about jumbo cards? Like the 1998 Upper Deck Gatorade Michael Jordan?

Is It possible that our cards could be sent to communist China In Shanghai or Hong Kong to be graded?....
.
Yes
If this is true, you can't expect to be treated fairly when doing business with a communist country.....

@@annieannie4213 Maybe they dont pull the cards out of the card saver? They probably just cut them to take cards out.
@@jebr28j that is correct. From my understanding that’s exactly how they do it
