What is your rate on getting grades lower than a 9? When that happens do you still sell through PSA or is it more cost effective to ship it back and crack the slab?
Good question. So less than 5% of our submissions get lower than 9s but it does happen. And we just sell it as is through PSA. A lot of times they actually sell for pretty close to 9 value surprisingly.
We don't do auto grades so I don't have a lot of insights here. I've found that the increased prices for a PSA 10 with Auto 10 is not enough to be worth the increased turnaround time and cost (plus the risk of getting an Auto 9 or worse).
I've been sending cards out to psa and some cards came back as 8 and I've been wanting to know do they give notes on what they found on cards that dont grade a 10?
For more expensive service levels they give notes, but from what I’ve seen they can be pretty vague. For standard service levels they don't give notes unfortunately.

Does the autograph ever come into play? I wouldn’t think it would but what are the Auto grades based on for PSA? Like what determines a 10.
And a side question, if you submitted for Auto & card grading and got a 10 for both, would those go for a lot more than just a 10 for the card.
