My visit to PSA

I was on a baseball trip and went through Newport Beach. I thought that was where PSA was headquartered so I Googled them and found out that they are actually in Santa Ana...and just down the road from the hotel I was staying at.
I stopped on by and here is what I saw:
1. Nothing actually says PSA...it is all labeled Collectors Universe.
2. It is in a office park towards the back. Nice buildings, but not opulent.
3. The windows on the first level are dark and reflective so there is no peeking in really.
4. They were closed.
5. They have not one, but TWO parking spots labeled "bulk" by a side door. I wonder who has so many items that they show up to the HQ and have to be accommodated through a side door? There is another parking spot labeled "Sultan" right next to the side door. I don't know what/who that refers to.

That's Todd's space.

Nah. I'm next to the dumpster. ;-)
Truthfully, I have never noticed the Sultan parking spot. I'd prefer Grand Poobah, anyway...
Please research and get back to us. Inquiring minds want to know.
Over 'LAX Geek'?
I applied to CU for the job of Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler and Imperial Wizard.
Maybe it’s a spot reserved for when the Crisser comes in to consult.....

Lol. That runs a very close second!
I've just learned that the Sultan parking space is reserved for the Sultan of Swat award winner, better-known as the employee of the quarter.
Mike if I remember correctly you have a long white beard? I think imperial Wizard would be a great role for you if that’s the case! 🍻😂
Wow Paul - I forgot that pic from the net - was on the old format here - be cool to find that one.
A blast from the past!
I think this was the pic from my bio when they had a list:
So it will be your spot next quarter. How can we help you to make that happen? 😁. Shall we all contact Joe?

Here are some pics...
Was there a parking spot for the "grader of death'?
No wonder you never heard of it before. I kid, but you walked right into that one.
Cant believe this is the first time I have seen the actual PSA location.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
