Question about submitting to psa by droping them off.

RANDYMOSS84

I've never submitted to psa on my own, my buddy usually does all the work, only done on card grading. I live close to their grading offices it seems, can i just stop buy and submit? If so do I need to get a membership? I usually go through my buddies membership since we submit large submissions together.

I know you can drop off coins and pick them up, I would imagine it's the same for cards. Pretty sure your going to need a membership too.

PSA has Collectors Universe Public Fridays. Anybody can stop by their offices located at 1921 East Alton, Santa Ana, CA 92705 and drop off cards, coins and currency for grading. The Public Friday's happen only once a month. NO MEMBERSHIP is required. You just walk right into the lobby and wait in line. For April, Public Friday is on April 27, 2007.

However, on April 20-22, there is a show in Inglewood and they are accepting submissions there.

I was at the last Public Friday (which is from 10am to 4pm) and when I arrived, there were about four or five people ahead of me. Pretty quick service. Check it out.

Randy - they don't do on-site grading at Hollywood Park.

You can drop them off anytime, you just have to call customer service for an appointment.
They have the coolest waiting lobby. When your submissions are done, you can call customer service
again and ask for a schedualed pick up.

It used to be you could drop off cards at Public Saturday and pick them up at the next Public Saturday, if they were ready. I guess the volume got to much to store in inventory for a full month.

I believe dropping off and picking up cards on days other than their Public Fridays requires that you be a dealer. I asked about this when they switched the policy I mentioned above.

I've been to a quite a few Public Fridays and I overheard a few times that you need to be a member to submit.

My experience, and it is also stated on their website somewhere, is that you cant drop off or pickup except for bulk orders that are 100 cards or more. This excludes the once a month Fridays that have been discussed.
