We've seen a significant surge in submissions following our announcement of an additional $200 million investment in PSA infrastructure and services. That increase has pushed our active queue to nearly 10 million cards.
To help protect the submissions already in our care, PSA is temporarily pausing new submissions for all Value service tiers, effective Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm PT.
For more detail on what's changing, which service levels remain open, and when each Value tier reopens, read our full announcement. psacard.click/Update-May-x

@Schwartzcards2 @CardPurchaser I am genuinely perplexed as to how my 21 card value order is already in grading and has an estimate of late August for completion. 🤷Thought for sure I wouldn’t see it until the end of the year.

Hobby fam,
Don’t ever say I didn’t warn ya

What I’m hearing — PSA is expected to shut down Bulk submissions (and possibly even service levels up to Regular) starting Sun or sooner If you’re planning to submit cards to PSA -either yourself or through a submitter -make sure to get your orders created ASAP @CardPurchaser

@pkcapitol It’s a protest concert? It says right on the page it’s a non partisan peace loving festival of democracy. Also the poors get in for $125 and the limousine liberals can watch the concert up close VIP style for $1500 a pop.

@duckster5 @CardPurchaser Certainly looks like a lot of the authentic MJ signatures I’ve seen. I’d definitely send them into PSA.

@CardPurchaser can anyone in community verify these bad boys? Pops got them in the 90s at an event they were both at.

@DionMarTir @AutismCapital @BitMNR Eh, if he waits long enough he can get to the alchemy of 5% with just one last buy.

@BitMNR how about buying some $ETH in the open market so we catch a fucking Bid and stop bleeding? Maybe that brings some buyers to the table instead of getting crapped on daily. 🤷🏻♂️ you know. Catch a fucking break? 10 months of DCAing and it never fucking stops… then again you MFers are down 8 billion by now.

@HGoobs @CardPurchaser A basic store subscription is like $22 a month and allows for 1000 fixed price listings on eBay per month. If you plan to list more it probably makes sense to upgrade. You will be charged the insertion fees again if items don’t sell and relist after 30 days.

Can someone tell me what an insertion fee on ebay is??
got charged $22 today for listing 280 listings

@birdstweetbest1 @Frigidaire @Lowes You could always buy a Samsung refrigerator. Ours lasted us 3 years before the compressor died which was still under warranty. Good luck getting an appointment with a repair technician within a couple of months. They delayed service to the point where we gave up and bought an LG
English

My mom purchased a @Frigidaire fridge/freezer in October 2024 from @Lowes, and it has died. Neither company is shocked by a new appliance dying bc she didn’t purchase a 3 yr extended warrantee.
Well, @Lowes, why sell crap appliances?
@Frigidaire, 18 mo life span? Pathetic.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: The deal between the U.S. and Iran is done, with only the signing left, according to Al Jazeera's bureau chief...
If it holds, this is the breakthrough after a brutal 24 hours.
A caveat earned by experience.
We have seen deal announcements get walked back before, with Washington declaring progress and Tehran describing something narrower hours later.
This remains a claim until Iran confirms and ink hits paper.
But if accurate, the war that started February 28 is at its finish line.

I’ve done a lot of thinking on this very point. The one thing I always seem to come back to is just how much institutions are adopting $ETH as the go to for digital finance.
There’s a lot of genuine competition… but when it comes to real world trust and adoption. $ETH has no real rival as of now.
English

I have never seen so many people capitulating out of $ETH or crypto.
Some are writing blogs and essays explaining why it failed, mainly naming how other chains won the race, measured by fees taken in.
Some of my thoughts, in these hard times:
Time will tell, but I think many people are mistaken in treating $ETH like an end-stage $AMZN, as if the main question is already about mature margins, fees, and cash flows.
In reality, Ethereum is still very much earlier in its economies-of-scale phase, with nearly all metrics in the top right corner and growing at mid double digits to tripple.
Furthermore, most of the market is focused on the wrong battle: who can become the fastest and cheapest payment processor.
Lower fees, higher throughput, faster settlement. But that is likely a race to commoditization, similar to the payment processors crash over the last years.
If the only value proposition is speed and cost, then the moat gets thinner over time, easy disruptable. Someone can always be faster. Someone can always subsidize fees lower. Someone can always optimize one narrow use case.
The real value may not be in the transaction fee itself.
The real value is likely in the amount of economic activity secured by the network, the credibility of that security, the neutrality of the base layer, and the difficulty of replacing it once enough assets, applications, institutions, and users depend on it.
That is where Ethereum seems different to me and why so many institutions are choosing $ETH.
Most other projects still feel replaceable. They may have better performance in one area, better UX in another, or lower fees in the short term. But if their advantage is mainly technical efficiency, that advantage can be copied, competed away, or made irrelevant.
The newest hottest thing today is replacing the hottest thing from last quarter.
Ethereum’s bet appears to be much larger: become the most secure, decentralized, credibly neutral settlement layer for the internet economy.
Not the cheapest rail.
The hardest rail to replace.
In the end, the most valuable network may not be the one with the lowest transaction costs. It may be the one people trust most to secure the highest-value assets and applications over the longest period of time.
If $ETH can retain its market share while continuing to scale through upgrades that improve speed, throughput, and fees, its potential remains significant, especially if AI agents become truly crypto-native.
If it combines all of the above and earn the crown as the leading value-secured network, then $ETH could eventually be viewed as something like a truly decentralized, inflation-adjusting global bond: securing the world’s assets, free from political meddling, and deserving of a premium market cap because of the value it protects on top of the deflationary pressures create incentives to stake, get yield and trust the equivalent of buybacks and griwth in value secured to provide additional value.
Keep in mind over 1/3 of $ETH is now staked!
In that scenario, $ETH would not just be another asset to hold. It could become one of the only truly neutral and secure bonds for the digital economy.
... But sure, lets compare it to $SOL with 6% inflation, no moat, no security, massive outages, decreasing validator nodes and alike.
it just all feels like people are getting lost in short term fees and the easiest valuation attempt rather than what $ETH is actually built for, all while its testing its bottom range and players go full portfolio into AI.

@Joferjeff I sold a $100 pottery bowl to a buyer. Clear dimensions listed. She opened a return, not as described, saying it was smaller than what she wanted. eBay initially sided with me & closed the case. 3 days later they reopen the case, and refund her without requiring a return lol.

Well, I submitted my final eBay appeal. I'm willing to nuke my entire eBay account over this. A guy with 3 transactions is trying to scam me out of $465, and get a free iPhone 14 Pro Max.
So far, eBay has agreed with him even though I have proof of delivery. Apparently he said, I promised him a refund. (I did no such thing)
6 years and over 300 transactions with 100% positive feedback means nothing against a 1-year-old account with 3 generic transactions
English

@DesireeAmerica4 Sounds like he was just giving his server incentive to lobby against asinine restaurant policies. What’s next, a dirty napkin fee?
English

This guy is bragging about leaving a single dollar bill as a tip on a $60 bill at a restaurant in Baton Rouge. Why?
Because the kitchen slapped him with a $5.75 "complicated order fee."
Let’s look at what this man actually customized: a double Wagyu burger with a pretzel bun swap, added bacon, added pepper jack, added grilled onions, added jalapeños, and "no garden." He literally rewritten the entire menu and expected the kitchen staff to perform culinary gymnastics for free.
Yes, we all know eating out is getting insanely expensive, and these hidden surcharge fees are annoying. But at the end of the day, if you can afford to order an extremely expensive $18 for a Wagyu burger and $14 for a Jack and Coke, you can afford to tip the human being who served it to you.
If you're going to be this cheap, do us all a favor: stay inside your house and make a sandwich. Absolute clown energy.

@5GWcow @bowtiedmeathead Now son, this is premium 2 ply toilet paper. Maximum 3 squares per shit.

@bowtiedmeathead Do you want him to ask permission to take a shit too?

Staying at my parents shore house with the family this weekend
My sister is here with her kids…
My nephew who is 12 yrs old brought his friend down with him
He came down last summer too. Nice kid. They all play on same baseball travel team together
Thought it was odd to see his friend go right into the frig to help himself to a soda and grab something to eat 🤯
Then to top it off…he walks around the house with just his underwear on lol
Kid is way too comfortable. Told him you are welcome to eat and drink anything you want, just ask.
He’s a good kid but seems to lack some basic manners…
Anyone else find this is odd or is it just me?
I told all 3 of my kids if they ever did that when being a guest at someone else’s house (especially non family) I’d kill em!

@CardPurchaser I have a Ebay buyer who messaged me over 3 months after I made a sale, saying he did not receive his card. Since its past 30 days, I can't even issue the refund or even check the tracking anymore. Is there anything you think I should do?
