That's quite a return.

Lots of interesting numbers in this write-up about PSA. The most interesting one: 13 months ago they were bought for $853 million. Now valued at $4.3 billion.

I also liked "In a single day just prior to the shutdown of lower tier service levels, they received more than 660,000 cards in a single day, an avalanche of packages that stretched the local postal service to the breaking point."

    It's also interesting to note that a little more than 12 months ago they quit accepting reasonable price submissions, and just about all submissions in general.

    From the sounds of the article, the Set registry is about to come to an end or at least to a snails crawl. Not many people going to grade 60's and up commons for $20 a card. Heck i just sold a psa 8 1957 common for $30. And it took about a year to sale it.

    $25 per card for the last five years. minimum 100 cards

    $20 per card 1998 - 2016, minimum 100 cards

    $15 per card 1997 and back, minimum 100 cards

    for 1987 and back (just picked a random year), for commons $10 a piece minimum 100 cards. (for set registry).

    Work hard and you will succeed!!
