PSA Executive Reveals Mistakes Most Collectors Make With Grading

0 views · May 13th, 2026

What is the number one mistake collectors make when sending cards to PSA? In this exclusive interview inside the Arena Club Studio at Cards HQ, I sit down with PSA Executive Chris Carlin to demystify the grading process and give you a massive advantage on your next submission. Whether you are grading high-end vintage sports cards or ultramodern TCG, understanding how PSA operates behind the scenes is crucial for maximizing your card's value. Chris breaks down the internal workings of the grading room, the psychology behind population reports, and the specific things graders look for that most collectors completely miss. We also tackle the hobby's most controversial topics head-on, from upcharges and grading consistency to the highly debated "crack and resubmit" culture. In this episode, we cover: The Biggest Grading Mistake: Why overlooking a card's surface (shim lines, thumbnail prints, and hidden creases) is the easiest way to ruin your chances of a PSA 10. Pop Reports & Counterfeits: The truth behind population report scarcity versus real market demand, plus the alarming rise of highly sophisticated fake Pokémon booster boxes and forged Mickey Mantle autographs. Cracking & Resubmitting: Is cracking a PSA 9 to chase a PSA 10 actually worth the risk? We discuss the psychology of the "crack out" game and when to use PSA's Review Service instead. Upcharges & Consistency: Why PSA issues price adjustments, the power of their comprehensive grade guarantee, and how they train graders for six months to maintain consistency while processing 100,000 cards a day. The Future of the Hobby: How eBay integration and the Set Registry are evolving, plus why alternative assets like graded Sports Illustrated magazines, comic books, and One Piece TCG are exploding in popularity. Rare Hobby History: Chris shares incredible authenticated pieces from his personal collection, including a 1976 Topps player contract and an iconic internal memo from Upper Deck's founder.
