Set Registry Benefits - Free Vouchers

jeffcbay

This is just a quick note about the Free Vouchers PSA gives out for completing at least 75% of your Registered Set. I emailed PSA as soon as I completed one of my sets, and I received my voucher in less than 5 days. They rock!!

I'm at 74.47% on my Basic Ripken Set (333-card set), and 74.61% in my Primary Ripken Set (193-card set), so I'm one card away from getting 8 free vouchers!! WOOHOO!!

Make sure that when you request the vouchers, that you request that they be on a single submission form... unless you want to pay for postage twice.

The acomidated my request when I hit 75% on my Marichal and McCovey basic sets. I haven't gotten around to using the vouchers yet.

Good day,
I have a question on the Free vouchers. I have numerous sets that are at 75% or higher Non Sport, most not registered yet (Why is a different story for a different thread) but I do have one now a 1967 Garrison's Gorillas that is a 72 card set and I am at 84%. So I just sent my e-mail from the above link to get the request form. My question is when I get this does it have to be a seperate submission totally, if so the return charge for one or two free cards would be basically the same as just including it in one of my submission lots of 50 or 100. Or can you include it and not incur the extra shipping charges?
Thanks
Neil

I'm pretty sure you may realize this but the vouchers are only good on the sets that the vouchers came from. So if you have 4 free vouchers coming from your Ripken Basic set, they must be used for that. Its still a nice deal.

I didnt know that was available!!! Quick scan of my sets, I have 6 at over 75%. Sent the email to them with the link you provided.

Thank you guys for the information, I love these boards

Exactly! This is why you wait until you have a few sets >75% and request them all on one form. I just got two submission forms from Cosetta for my sets. 29 cards in all. Just remember, the cards you submit have to be submitted at the same time and they have to be cards from the specific sets. I ended up giving away 3 spots on my forms so I could get them sent off because, out of the 400+ cards I have waiting to go to PSA, I didn't have any that matched up to 3 of my sets and I wanted to get it out the door. Checked in today as a matter of fact. No guaranteed turnaround time on them but the others I've done took @ 7 days. I'm not holding my breath on this one though.

Good luck with your stuff.

It says clearly on the voucher form that it is to be used for the set the voucher came from. For this reason, I'm confused as to why they would combine the multiple set vouchers onto one form. PSA sent me a standard form and filled it out for me and wrote on it saying what it's for, with a reference number.

The one I got was my Ripken Rookie set which has only three cards in it, so I'm at 100% and I got one free submission for it. I'm sending in another Topps rookie, so it is from that set.

They'll just write the set spec on the form. My last two had 14 and 15 of them respectively written all around the outside edges of the submission form. I just marked on the form, which line applied to which set and had no problems. The idea here is that paying even the minimum return shipping is $12.55. So what's the point of paying that for one or even two cards, it would be cheaper to just toss them on a $5 special the next time around. If however you end up like I did, with 14 and 15 per form, well then it's a great benefit. It cost me $15.40 for return shipping (+$11 to PSA) for 29 total cards. You'll never get a special that gets you 29 cards graded for $26.

so what do they do with player sets. lets say I get to 75%, get some free subs and send them in. In a few months new cards are added to the set and my % drops below 75%. A few more months later I get to 75% again. Do I get more free subs??

what do they do with cards that have to be PSA/DNA and graded. say the laserview football cards or the 97 UD Legends Autos?? Do you really get a free PSA/DNA and grading for reaching 75% or not?

anyone know the answers??

jeffcbay

envoy98, thanks! That's sweet that they would combine it like that!

radke, I imagine they would keep track of those kind if shenanigans, but good try though As for the graded PSA/DNA, I imagine since they're actually graded too, that they would count toward the final percentage.

i didnt mean to imply that it would be shenanigans. right now the favre master set has over 1200 cards. I am around 27%. Overall there are around 6000 different favres. Since he is still playing and more cards are being graded that havent been before, that means that there will be additions to the set. Now lets say I submitt enough cards that are currently listed to get to 75%. I therefore get a voucher. Now what happens if someone requests more cards, my % drops below 75%. I add more cards, and go past 75% again. Now what??

Also I think there should be more freebies for sets that are huge. Just think if at some point this set gets past 3000 cards and someone is at 75%. I think they deserve more freebies then they would get at present.

envoy98

You don't get the vouchers again. As soon as you redeem for hitting 75% you are logged as getting a submission. They know who a submission form belongs to. I actually got Cosetta (my favorite person at PSA by the way) to re-issue two that I had gotten but lost. Once I knew I could put them all on one sub she sent me an email that said the original submission numbers would be voided and to use this new one. That was very cool of her.

As for a PSA/DNA submission, I don't think it qualifies. I would imagine it is only valid for a regular grading and I think there is a $500 limiit as well, but I've never tested that boundary.

jradke4

so then there are no "benefits" for working on the 96 Laserview Auto, 97 Inscriptions Auto and 97 UD LEgends Auto sets. Doesnt seem right when you have to lay at least $20 a piece to have them PSA/DNA certified and graded. yet it appears that you can get "benefits" for graded balls etc. on the link?

envoy98

If the entire set is that way, then you probably do qualify. I would highly doubt that you would be allowed to submit a 96 laserview Favre under the psa/dna + grading with your free voucher using the Favre set as your redemption. Would be a question for CS though. I would also ask that question to BJ or Cosetta as well.

Hello All,

I've got a 75% voucher to submit..can anyone tell me what service level I should write on the outside of the box? Also, what kinda of turn around time do the vouchers realize? Thanks.

Brian

The turnaround on these is all over the map from my experience. Anywhere from a week to over a month.

TheVon

Okay, forgive my ignorance, but this thread has brought up something that concerns me . . .

I am collecting a 1975 Topps mini set and I'm not quite to 75% yet overall, but I have surpassed 75% on probably a dozen of the team sets. If I sent PSA an e-mail and asked for my free vouchers for the team sets would I be getting 12 different submission forms and then have to pay return shipping for all 12? Or do I just ask for them to all be combined on one form? Would PSA balk at requesting my team set vouchers and my player set vouchers being submitted all at once?

Thanks guys!

Carew29

1 sub = 1 shipping etc>>>>>>

envoy98

If you request them all at once, they can put up to 15 sets on each sub form.

Can anyone tell me if you can combine different size cards for this type of submission? Tallboys mixed in with regular size cards.

Thakns

jeffcbay

Only if the set you have 75% complete also contains tallboys. The voucher must be used with a card from that set.

I hit 75% on '72 Topps and '71 Topps Supers at the same time and PSA sent me a combined invoice for for both (5 free '72's and 2 free '71 Supers). Total Shipping was around $12.50. After they received my submission, PSA called me and told me I couldn't combine supers with standard cards and made me pay an additional $12.50 for shipping. The '72's were graded in about a week, the '71 Supers took almost 3 months.
