GameStop’s grand plan to become a hobby hub is hitting a major snag.
In late 2024, the retailer teamed up with PSA for $15.99 on-site grading drop-offs. It was supposed to be easy. No shipping forms. No post office lines.
But as 2026 kicks off, GameStop is swinging the axe on hundreds of stores. Now, that "easy" drop-off is becoming a logistical nightmare.
If your shop shuts down, your pending order gets re-routed to the next closest location.
If your "Ready for Pickup" alert hits and your store is gone, check your inbox. Your cards are likely a town or two over.
Nat Turner, the CEO of PSA’s parent company, actually sits on the GameStop Board of Directors.

GameStop is sitting on a massive $8.8 billion cash pile. They aren't going broke, but they are closing underperforming stores fast.
