    You can transfer the ownership of your set to someone who is a member. Then they can take advantage of the four free grades. I'm sure that they will give it back to you after PSA grades the cards. image

    Just send all your cards to me and I'll submit them for 'ya...


    How hard could it be ??? The invoice would say Wade Boggs, Wade Boggs, Wade Boggs, about 300 times....A $1.99 rubber stamp would work just fine, I think.......ha......

    Alas, it would be the shame involved in submitting such an invoice that would stop many from helping him.

    Regarding my invoices I write Boggs once and draw a line stright down each invoice. Problem solved to bad you cant fill in the blanks and print them from the net. I am submitting a MATT WILLIAMS for my daughter.

    You must have been awful bad this year. Hang in there. Theres what 5 months left. It would take alot though you put down my man (figure of speach) Maybe Santa will bring you a few 75's if you good.image


    Back to the thread

    I will probly call them later. An answer here is unlikely.

  • << <i>to bad you cant fill in the blanks and print them from the net. >>

    Yes you can... I do that all the time...
    it allows you to fill in the card #, name, type, etc.. all the boxes...

    it even lets you "check" the credit card boxes,
    and return mail choices.....
    you just can not type on the
    LINES like the CC# and expiration....

    James,

    I can see two points to your question.

    First of all, I would think that you would have a PSA membership to use your free grades. From what I can see so far (from PSA) is that they are combining Collector's Club and the PSA Registry. In the past the Registry specials were open to everyone. I believe that the use of the REGISTRY will still be open to everyone free of charge, however benefits, such as free gradings, will be limited to PSA members. (I COULD BE WRONG)

    Secondly, "will PSA do you a favor?", it is possible. Especially if you reach your 90% (Although I thought it was 75%) goal soon. If it takes you 6 months to complete, then that would be a different story.

    Finally, I would like to add that just because you left a Voice Mail, doesn't mean that you are being ignored. The individuals may be on vacation. Think positive. image

    Good Luck with your set.

    Carlos
  • Carlos is correct with the 75%. I just finished reading the benefits part of the registry.

    1 free grade for sets of 1-50 cards when you reach 75%
    2 " grades 51-150 cards
    3 " for sets of 151-300
    5 free for sets of 301+
    Note* you must contact**** setregistry@collectors.com**** and receive a authorization code. No free grading without the code.

    BTW....Carlos, have you ever been to the motocross races at the fair grounds????

    90% was a guess on my part. I really dont even want them, just curious for future reffrence and it crossed my mind. I am in Customer service if I cant anwer a customer question I will call and atleast aknowledge to question and give them a time frame when I can answer the question.

    I just re-read the psa benefits section which goes over the free grading when you reach 75% of the set. It goes on to say that your freebies must be to grade cards within that particular set. I didn't realize that requirement and figured there may be others also.

    Jesus - Didn't end pretty
    Gandhi - You can never be too thin
    Martin Luther King - Everyone knows he's a hero except him
    Greg Norman - Was an a-hole before trying to start his own golf tour - Still an a-hole (Nothing)
    Lenny Bruce - Got a movie w/Dustin Hoffman made about him
    Curt Flood - Made a lot of other people rich

    Know some might call you a "rabblerowser", but I'll admire you. The choice is yours.

    SOrry if I offend some. PSA where the heck are you I left 2 voice mails and no reply at all sent an email no reply. Very disappointing, customer service at PSA has tailed off in the last 6 months. I will continue to update this every few days till a response is made.

    Day 10 no customer service in sight. PSA are you there do you care? You have not called or emailed me anywere.

    Sorry guys my mini protest.image
    x
  • you say it is day 10 (are those business days,
    as they are closed on the weekends... )

    But, have you done what I suggested and send
    a PM to either BJ or Joe?

    (I doubt you have, otherwise you would have
    to stop complaining...) But,
    IF SO, and you still do not have an answer,
    then
    Send an email to Peter Ma --> pma@collectors.com

    He was immediately helpful with many others so far.
    (but remember that he is not working on the weekends.)


    Now, Before you come back on here complaining
    AT LEAST Do those two things, Either PM Bj or Joe
    and.or send an email directly to Peter Ma.

    THEN let us know what they say.
    imageimage
  • I received a note from BJ, Joe, and Peter Ma. They all said that they are very busy with paying customers with serious issues at the moment and will be with you in a few months (give or take a few years).

    You shouldn't be worried though because Joe said to tell you that he's got your two free grades right here.

  • James,

    Contrary to popular belief, PSA is a business. If you think that a business is going to lose sleep over whether a non member is going to get his two free grades you are truly in a delusional state. Why you persist in making a huge stink is just beyond me? I will pay for your two "free" grades if you will just shut up and stop acting like an annoying little pre schooler.

    Do I get my two free grades when I reach 90%? Do I? Huh? Do I? What do you mean NO? Does Joe Orlando know about this? I need to talk to him immediately. Can I? Huh? Can I? Can I? What do you mean no? I need to talk to your supervisor. Click.

    Do you not have any self respect whatsoever? PSA members with valid issues get better customer service than with any other company. Non members with bull$hit issues get treated about like you're experiencing. Are you in touch with reality enough to realize that nobody cares?

  • I will give you $5 for your collection and $20 for two free grades. Will you promise to stop making a mockery of yourself once you get the money?


    Smelly
  • Do yourself a huge favor a think about how few people are responding. Now see if you can figure out why?

    Have you noticed that nobody is agreeing that you should persist in making a fool out of yourself? There's an art to quitting while you're ahead.

    20.00 for the 2 grades sure. I wont ever pass up $$ And 5.00 you can view my collection BOGGS COLLECTION Tell you what first view is on me.

    If you read the thread I just wondered about them. As far I am concerned the grades wasnt the issue. I was just more or less curious if you had to be a member to redeem.

    No dough in the account. Didnt think so. I am here and always will be. I am a customer and deserve an answer that is my point. I dont have to join to recieve customer service. I spend money at PSA. It is a fair and easy question to answer. Dont like the thread dont read the thread.

    Thanks I had alot more in the master set til I removed it. I am going to put it back up at my daughters request in her name. She ask were it went, she liked it ( And I will get the cert in her name named the set after her) I will be around 95 percent in a few weeks.

  • The fact of the matter is, and I apologize for making light of the situation, that he SHOULD have received either an email or phone call in response. It doesn't matter whether he submits one card or ten thousand per year, or whether he is a paid up member or not, he was due a reply long ago. They are certainly not going to sway people to get on the bandwagon if they are ignored.

    Not bashing, just stating fact

  • he does not really WANT any help.
    he just wants to be able to complain.

    IF he really wanted to be helped
    and get his answer he would EITHER
    send a PM to Joe or BJ from these boards
    OR
    Send and email to Pma@collectors.com

    and they would have helped him within a day
    but
    Dispite my REPEATED advice to that effect
    he Continues to ignore the assistance he
    Knows would work!

    so, forget it and let him just be miserable
    and he can stay happy that way.

  • James

    The average company gets 80% of its profits from 20% of its customers. If keeping that 20% happy means frivilous requests like yours get lost in the process, I applaud PSA for having its priorities in order.

    As of today, you are NOT a PSA customer. You may buy cards that OTHER PSA customers have submitted, but YOU personally are NOT. Smart businesses listen to their customers. You're just not one of them.

    Every benefit you get without being a customer, takes away money that SHOULD be spent ON their customers. I don't want money that SHOULD be spent on a full paying customer wasted on FREELOADERS like you who try to milk the system for every last nickle that you feel entitled to.

    PSA goes above and beyond to deliver value for its customers. You've already made it perfectly clear that PSA doesn't offer enough value for you to join collectors club and be a customer. By not responding to you, PSA is making it perfectly clear that value is a two way street.

  • James,

    As of September 1, we both know that you have to join to submit cards. As of this moment, you are NOT a customer. You WERE a customer and are now a FORMER customer.

    It sounds like you made a business decision to submit before the rules changed. Don't get me wrong, that is your right to do so.

    Just like I CHOOSE not to use paypal because I don't like their customer service, YOU can choose not to use PSA. Once I make my decision not to use Paypal anymore, however, I stop trying to squeeze every nickle out of them. For instance, EBAY just had a free buy it now offer for paypal customers. I don't go incessantly calling EBAY trying to get them to give me the deal even though I am no longer a paypal customer. Furthermore, I wouldn't go on paypal's website and whine like a baby. It's pointless.
