being OCD about consistency in slabs sucks.

Short story...working on non-sports 7 piece cast set of customs...3 are already slabbed without autogrades, 3 more are in Derrick's bulk submission (without autograde). Just located and built number 7. The 7th one I am in limbo about what to do;
Options;
Send under the current blue flip $15 special which gets autograde (I would default to this, but signature won't get a 10)
Send it regular rate ($30) to get blueflip without autograde.
Wait til Derricks' fall bulk sub and get $10 blue flip, no autograde. (this means Aug/Sept submission and I might have it back by new years).

I have already decided and changed my mind from each of the 3 options above.

ARRRRRRG.
Sorry to rant, but wife is no help because she doesn't care and I need SOMEONE to care.

You sure the current PSA/DNA is a Blue Flip Special? I thought it was a Red? If the card card is being Authenticated that's Red right?

Yes. If they include cuts it's for blue.

From the details page;

Any single-signed item with a declared value of $150* or less is now only $15. You get the autograph authenticated, graded and encapsulated in PSA's tamper-evident case for only $15. Please note: this is for the autograph only (Blue Flip); trading cards submitted for this special will not be authenticated or graded.

Arturo Jr. - its Blue Flip ... go into the details section:

Please note: this is for the autograph only (Blue Flip); trading cards submitted for this special will not be authenticated or graded.

Edited to add: Jeffrey beat me to it. (I'd wait until later in the year.)

lol Arturo

Darn it, I guess I'll be resubmitting the two I sent in as I only wanted them for the graded set registry, now that they are authenticated can I send them in for regular grading directly? (They are 1995 Certified Auto's).

Alifaxwa2- Can you not just state grade as authentic no numeric grade for the special? I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about but seems logical? If not, I would just pay the $30.

Yes you can send those in for reg grading now.

No, I emailed and asked they said that you must take the autograde.

Thanks

They can be sent in and you only pay the fee as you would for any graded card, so they would qualify for a $4.50 special.

I can't help with the main topic, but I can certainly relate with this.
