PSA “pausing” grading for value tiers
What do y’all think of this??!! Does it mean people will go to other companies? Surely there will be a big impact! They have over 10 MILLION cards in queue.
From Sports Illustrated last night: “Following rumors of sweeping changes to grading and submissions, Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the leading grading company for sports cards and TCGs, confirmed today that it will pause accepting new submissions for all Value service tiers.
In what will be a shock to the hobby ecosystem, PSA will shut down its bulk and value-tier submissions for card grading.
Changes will go into effect on Tuesday, June 2, at 3:00 p.m. PT and will impact the four Value service tiers: Value Bulk, Value, Value Plus, and Value Max. While collectors are still digesting the news and the impact it will have on the hobby, it is certain to create concern for bulk submissions, resellers, and hobbyists looking to grade their cards at more affordable levels.

- Tiers temporarily Paused: Value Bulk, Value, Value Plus, and Value Max will be closed to new submissions. All active submissions will continue to be processed under the submitted turnaround times.
- Tiers Remaining Open: Regular, Express, Super Express, and Walk-Through and above will remain fully active.
- Regular Service Adjustment: Estimated turnaround times for Regular service will be temporarily extended to 40 to 50 days, and 50 to 60 days for dual-service authentication.”

I think it opens the door for the smaller name grading companies to get business. Yes, PSA will still be considered the best to go with but this could lead to some companies getting bigger and getting more business
