PSA Announces $200 Million Investment Amid Record Grading Demand
PSA announced a $200 million investment from parent company Collectors over the next 18 months, focused on doubling its physical footprint, advancing logistics tech, and adding roughly 1,000 new team members (370 open and ~700 more by year-end). PSA graded 2 million cards in 2020 versus 19 million in 2025, and 2026 is currently running on a 39% year-over-year pace, with global daily throughput growing from around 15,000 cards in 2021 to roughly 90,000 today.
Alongside the announcement, turnaround estimates were shifted to ranges across all service levels effective May 14, 2026. Value Bulk moved from 95 business days to 140 to 160 business days with a new 50-card minimum starting May 18 (up from 20), Super Express increased from $299 to $349 per card, and active Collectors Club memberships were extended by three months at no cost.
