PSA launching their standard service at $60/card for 95 business days. PSA regular is still $80/card but 75 business days (still my primary usage). PSA express is up to $199/card for 25 business days (has to be a $1k+ PSA 10 card to justify. https://www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/15763/psa-new-standard-service-level BGS initially announced value bulk would be opening back up Sept 15th. What are the chances that is true? If you try to navigate to their website, you will see it has been completely shut down since 9/9! That is not good! https://beckett-maintenance-page.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html CGC is still very much open at $20/card for 90 business days. However, we know that even for TCG, CGC 10 is valued at about PSA 9 price and you need a CGC 10 Pristine to make it worth the value. CGC has alternate quicker/cheaper option direct through Fanatics Collect vault. SGC is $50/card with 40 business day turnaround. They are saying changes wont happen till the end of the year. https://www.gosgc.com/service-level-update-2026-09-02 TAG lower tier options are fully suspended and cheapest option is $149/card (not realistic for TAG) Arena club is fully open at $15/card but AC slabs are hard to move without a ton of effort on their marketplace trying to find buyers/trades. It only takes 3-4 weeks to get cards graded and vaulted. Anyone having luck with anything else?

I know there are many ways to make money in the card business. I've been trying to figure out what might be best for me since I have limited time each week. I've been buying RAW HOF rookies. My plan is to wait until the bulk grading goes down. Are there any holes in this, or anything I should watch out for?

I've been watching lots of YouTube videos. I saw a video of a vintage guy cleaning his cards. He claims he can raise his grading by at least 1 grade level up. Is that a thing? He said the value jump for just one level was huge in vintage.

It seems that with grading fees so high, a better strategy might be to flip slabs someone else has already paid to grade.
