Has PSA ever had a problem with declared value?

What if you sent a 56 Mays that was like NM and declared the value at $95 for the $8 special. Would this be a problem? The declared value is only for insurance purposes, right? I've never pushed this issue but always wondered.
Thanks,

    I've sent in several cards that I thought might be a problem, but weren't.

    Why would they have a problem with that? It actually works out better for them because when it gets lost they only have to reimburse you $95 instead of $250 or $300.

    No, it is also used to determine what fee will be charged.

    You can try it, I have heard that some do not get away with it.

    Depends on far off the value is. A NM '56 Mays is worth so much more than $95, I think it's possible they may call you on it and make you pay the higher fee. I do think that your chances of getting it through raw are better than on a review.

    When the .5 scale was introduced, I called cust svc to ask about what level I could submit a PSA 8 Michael Jordan RC for review. They said that since SMR was over $500, I could not submit under the $15 service even if I only wanted to insure it for $500.

    Got this one back in a 100 bulk order a while back. So there isn't a problem except for bump reviews, not raw.

    The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.
