PSA: Card Scanner & Grading

I am really enjoying this app to track my collection. I especially enjoy the sales and pricing data that I can use to track the values of my cards. On iPad though, I find one very frustrating behavior that negatively impacts my experience. On the Collection tab, after you have tapped on one of your cards, clicking the back button to return to your collection always scrolls you back to the top of your collection. I do not experience this behavior on iPhone. A further feature that would be extremely helpful would be sorting options in the Collection tab. The filtering options are well done and useful, but I would find it very beneficial to be able to sort my collection in different ways. If there was a user-editable field called My Value that you could sort on, that would be perfect (similar to Set Registry Inventory on the web).

I’m new to sending in my own cards to PSA, and am genuinely happy with this app. The up-to-date information on the orders is great, and the images of the cards then they are both in the grading process, and then completed, are really breathtaking. You quite literally get the opportunity to follow the image of each specific card as it goes through the process. The line of communication that this app opens between the card owner and the graders and authenticators during the grading phase adds an extra level of ease and comfort that any hiccups that could arise are able to be discussed prior to finalization and shipping of each order. I highly recommend this app.

How and where do I send cards to be graded? Oh you just ignore all those customers who aren’t even customers yet making your entire app development irrelevant for the purpose of gaining potential customers? Surely You don’t assume everyone downloading your app already sent their collections in to be graded THEN they decided to download your app? You say I can just whip out the app and scan my cards but you forgot one little thing: NONE OF MY CARDS ARE GRADED YET SO YOUR APP IS POINTLESS UNTIL YOU’VE PROVIDED THE INFO ON HOW TO SEND IN CARDS AND GIVE ME A REASON TO DO SO WHILE MAKING IT CONVENIENT AND INEXPENSIVE. Unless you just expect your potential customers to whip out a magic wand and transform all of my ungraded cards into PSA-Graded and then download the app. Maybe I’ll go see if BGS is also ignoring the collectors considering to finally breakdown and send in their cards to be graded. Logic says they probably also skipped past the massive amount of uninformed customers because that would require effort. Who needs sales growth when you can just go straight to experienced collectors and sell them more products and services even though they probably cant afford it but they’ll bite the bullet anyways if those are the only bullets your pistol is compatible with. America: come for the stupid games, stay for the stupid prizes. Brag about stupid prizes until you forget that they sucked.
