Different solution to PSA suspending some services

dcgdpt

Instead of suspending the lower tier/cost submissions PSA should catch up, then resume allowing submissions at maybe an increase to $30-40, but limit the submissions to two days a month, or maybe one day a week where they make their online submission form the only form (no printouts) available and a certain designated day or days a month you can submit.

This keeps people connected to PSA as I’m sure many are drifting away or just tucking their cards away. PSA will always be the best place to submit but with the lowest submission at $200 people aren’t thinking about PSA or submitting unless they are higher end cards.

I'll run your ideas upstairs and let you know what they think.

Clearly they have considered the outcomes of various solutions and this avenue was the one that made the most sense for their long-term strategy.

Imagine the flood of sub 1k cards they will receive when they reopen those levels lol it will break usps

For lower service levels, It wouldn’t be a bad idea to start with a lottery system of some kind.

I was thinking that they could limit the number of cards you can submit per month. Obviously, there would have to be exceptions for dealers, but I think this could work.

I too have thought a personal cap on submissions might be a viable option, I would play along with that

Yep - membership level gives you access to different range of submissions instead of free submissions - silver = x per month, gold = y per month, platinum = z per month. the memberships would paint a picture of how many graders would be needed for the upcoming year.

Also think the general belief of how 4SC used to work might be another option - pay $x per card for review and only encapsulate those that are 10's for an additional $y for modern to deal with the crunch.

I think PSA should take care of their longest tenured customers best and rank their ‘value’ through a blend of business done and reputation/ethics displayed by the corporate entity’s.

Then apply this to ‘regular customers’, too as well.

This would completely screw me but it seems the right way to do things. Specific numbers for submissions commensurate with past use.

This is not how it now works nor how it will ever work, mind you. Just how it should, in my humble opinion.
