PSA has recently updated their turnaround times due to an increased demand for card grading. If you're going to grade your cards, be aware of this new schedule.
If you're familiar with grading cards, you know that PSA is one of, if not the top grading company in our hobby. To keep up with the high demand of grading submissions, PSA just announced an increase in the turnaround times to grade cards.
Estimated turnaround times:
In total, 10 different grading options had turnaround times increased. Above are the services we think you'd use most frequently. To see all services and turn around times, please check the PSA site HERE.
When grading a card for your personal collection, the turnaround time isn't much of an issue. However, if you're looking to time your card for sale, you'll need to plan accordingly. Example: If you send a baseball card out to be graded now in hopes to sell it when baseball fever is back in April, you should know that the Value option has increased by 30 business days. The same holds true if you want to brings cards to a show to buy or sell. Example: The Philly Show starts December 12th. Today is November 21st. The Express option of what used to be 10 business days is now 15 business days and you may not get your cards back in time if you mailed out today!
After you receive your cards back for grading and you'd like to SELL your cards, Just Collect IS BUYING! Just Collect pays 80-85% in cash for graded stars such as Mickey Mantle and Michael Jordan. Read below how you can contact us any time.
Just Collect also offers grading services! If you would like us to pre-screen your cards and handle shipping, you can learn more about our process HERE.

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.
