I renewed a couple months ago but haven't submitted anything in almost a year. I have a pretty large stack waiting for a new home!

Come on guys, a book about tobacco cards and a subscription to SMR isn't enough?

DavidPuddy

At least they changed the book.

Hi Craig. Haven't seen you in awhile.
Hope all is well.

I just renewed and will continue to simply for the reason I want PSA to continue to grow and succeed.
I WANT THEM TO BE PROFITABLE.
I want this hobby to prosper and I want PSA around to be part of it.

The free submissions they give with the subscription is plenty enough for me.

I have to agree. I re-upped at the National, and frankly feel like its a good deal.

Consider this: 15 vouchers for 7 days service. Conservatively put a value on each voucher of $8ea or $120 total. Remember, this is 7 day turn-around, not 45 day.

I value the book they are giving out as an incentive to renew. Its an excellent book, with fantastic pictures.

Lastly, I enjoy the SMR monthly for the articles is contains. I can't say I use the SMR price guide, but all in all, I think its a nice package that PSA offers.

I have to reup in oct and prob won't. I have zero use smr. I wish clct would buy vcp and replace smr with a service like vcp. Smr is completely worthless. I could just check completed ebay auctions to get an idea of the real mkt price. Anything that isn't liquid enough to have completed auctions isn't accurately priced I'm smr anyways. I really wish they would eliminate smr and either pass the savings to the subscribers or share holders.

I agree with everything above, and I'll add that even though I don't use the SMR magazine, I do sell it on ebay for an average of $4.00 (after shipping cost) every month. Many ways to recoup the cash.

Mickey71

I really don't care either way....but one suggestion would be this. Just make the voucher a dollar value for use on any submission. If I have a bunch of cheap commons to send in and the voucher is good for $60 I could send in like 10-12 cards instead of just 6 cards that are supposed to be high dollar cards(under $500).

i signed up for the first time at this years national on the last day of the show (Sunday) at 11am. They had my 15 cards back to me at 3pm. i also attended the
psa luncheon at the show, and brought a friend of mine (non-slab addict). Not only did he enjoy it (as did i), but we each got a copy of the hardcover book
(every seat in the room had a copy on it).

PSA is professional, and i am proud to call myself a member

That would be great if they did that.

mcadams

I agree with Jimrad.

Dpeck100

If you add up what you get it is more then worth the cost of the membership. Not to mention there is no other grading company where you can transform a common into a $5000+ card. I don't collect sets where this is possible but for many it can happen.

You get what you pay for. BGS may be free to submit but lets face it PSA cards on average bring substantially more. I have had a ton of fun chasing cards to either buy that are already graded or raw and subbing myself.

There is no doubt in my mind that getting cards graded is more then worth the cost and I have no plans at all to stop renewing and subbing through PSA only.

bigreddog

Consistant and accurate grading is all I require. Obviously I didn't renew.

grote15

I don't often agree with mcadams, but I also agree with jimrad and Matt in that the renewal offer with the additional $10 discount off the membership fee and all you get for it is well worth the money. We should all support PSA, as our collections will benefit as long as the brand name remains strong.

twiley

I renewed awhile ago. The free subs I sent in paid for the renewal fee. I am waiting though for a nice special I am sitting on a huge stack of cards that need to be graded.

RonBurgundy

I heard the special will be $59 per card, no limit.

jeffcbay

That's kind of expensive.

StickNutzman

I called PSA customer service and they didn't have the info yet. That leads me to believe that the September special will be better than the August special, as they probably don't want people waiting to submit on the better special. If they were just going to continue the $5 special, they'd probably already have let us know.
