Question about new pricing tiers

Does anyone know what will happen with an order that was en route to PSA while the new pricing tiers were announced?
I submitted an order using $50 economy, which is no longer a tier offered. Will this be bumped up to $75 with those expected turnarounds or will it be dropped to $40 (the closest tier)?
Or do they just process as-submitted and maintain that price and expected timeframe?

I would think it would stay at the $50 since it was already entered into the system before the change.
I did not realize they changed. There are some lower prices. I guess the grading frenzy is slowing down.
You can contact customer service to get an accurate response on your question. I think they will honor the deal that was made at the time.

Lean times are a comin' for them. I for one will not forgot how I/we were treated while they rode high on the hog.

As long as it was postmarked before the change, it should be honored at that level. That's what they do for monthly specials, so I don't see why this would be any different.
Yes they are coming. They’d better have some great vintage deals coming this spring (and I don’t mean $15/card). Even if they have that same deal I’ll hold off sending. All these are for my PC so I’m waiting for them to get serious about needing the business.
It will be processed under the tier you entered it. You have 30 days to send it in once you complete the submission form. It doesn't matter if it was postmarked after the pricing change.
I was just looking at these prices to see what the new baseline apparently was going to be and $19 for value bulk/lowest tier is ridiculous. I kept thinking I was missing something. I just made a submission in the $15 modern special and felt OK about it but wasn't thrilled. Apparently there must not be any current specials going on. Are they going to do the quarterly specials again? Also, are they going to do the vouchers again when you buy your membership or is that never coming back?
Good questions.
I think they will probably monitor and gauge demand with their latest pricing changes and then offer some kind of special in the near future. They are playing things very cautiously so they don't get flooded again. Right now, at least, the turnaround times are very good.
Does anyone know of a reliable/reputable website that can provide set checklists that include current card price values? I know that is allot to ask and probably far too much work for anyone to realistically supply to the average collector, however we have an inventory of over 100K + cards that we auction and finding the perfect "way" to keep an accurate inventory and price guide has been my biggest struggle. Everyone refers to and swears by eBay however the algorithms tend to prevent a user from finding the correct sold price. I am not sure if anyone else has run into this dilemma but I have encountered it over and over again. I run into the same query issue: minimal items shown, price is well below realistic or void. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a very useful spreadsheet that does all sorts of tracking etc but accurate pricing is my thorn
Sites I have used for price guides:
eBay
130point
comc
sportscardinvestor
sportscardspro
tcg
beckett
priceguides
sportscollectors
cardboardconnection
collx

From what I can see, that only gives me "graded" prices and I am looking for "ungraded" however that helps me when our graded cards come back. Thank you

On ebay, go to your seller hub, then the Research tab at the top, and you can search actual sold prices from the past 2 full years. It displays the best offer accepted prices, not just the list prices. The results displayed are different from and more accurate than what you'd get if you just went looking for sold items on the regular ebay listings page.
Woah, Nice. I just tried above, Very helpful. I've been on Ebay for 25 years and learned something new today. A big thank you!
No, you can get in there even if you're not a seller, as long as you click the box that says start using seller hub. Here's the URL:
