March Specials?

gemint · February 27, 2014 2:49PM

Has anyone found out what the March specials will be? If so, please post here. Thanks.

eagles33 · February 28, 2014 12:06AM

Hopefully there aren't any new twists.. Like modern only up to 1990. I would hope for a 5 dollar special any year with a 60 day turn around and another ticket special for 12 bucks... And a ticket auto special for 20 bucks.

miwlvrn · February 28, 2014 12:11AM

Maybe it will be modern 1991 and newer to counter-balance the Feb. special?

DanBessette · February 28, 2014 12:13AM

I appreciate when the specials have no minimum quantity. I simply don't have the funds to send 25 or 50 cards at a time, even at $5 each. The most I've sent at once in a paid sub is 5 cards.

I like your honesty. Not everyone would be comfortable saying this.

This is true +1

Dpeck100 · February 28, 2014 3:19AM

I just spoke to customer service about something and asked if they had the specials out yet.

I don't collect older cards so I didn't bother getting that one.

1956 to present, $6 per card, 50 card minimum, $100 or below declared value.

+1. I've never submitted to PSA but when I finally do, I doubt it will be more than a few cards at a time.

50 card minimum is too much. 20 is more reasonable.

I submitted 5 cards under the Feb red flip special. Including shipping and insurance there and back it was still $119. For five cards. That's alot to spend on a HOBBY. especially when you don't even have any new items to show for it.

gemint · February 28, 2014 5:38AM

Don't worry guys. As soon as I ship off my sub at $6 per, PSA will come out with a $4.50 special.

olb31 · February 28, 2014 7:18AM

As a tax preparer, I could choose to do $75 returns all day long or do a smaller quantity for $200 a pop. Let's say the total revenue would be little higher if I did the $75 returns. Even though it would higher, I would be faced with a number of other issues.

1) Processes. The processes are basically the same for both ways, so the time commitment on the processing end is equal.
2) Number of people. I would have a higher number of people and returns, which means more phone calls, more meetings, etc. (nonchargeable events)

PSA should and needs to set minimums for awhile if not for ever, in order to maximize processes and get the cards graded on a timely basis. if I where them I would probably even up the minimum to 100 cards per order. Their processes are the same no matter the number of cards sent in (logging in, phone calls, grading process, etc)

This only makes business sense.

hyperchipper09 · February 28, 2014 7:32AM

100 cards per order as a minimum would send me permanently off this site, and all my cards to BGS/BVG or SGC should that ever happen. Even those graded by PSA would be moved over. There should be a proper balance between the high roller subbers and the folks that quite honestly can't afford 100 subs at even $5 a card. I certainly understand the business aspect of it, don't get me wrong. But PSA ain't hurting for $$, lets not kid anybody. And at the end of the day this IS a hobby as well. And should be fun....

At least some of you get it.

I don't know that I'd leave the site, but definitely wouldn't submit on anything other than a piggy-back order.

Anyone doing a sub that I can piggyback? LMK

Thanks,

Whoa, major zinger.

I can't seem to make submitting worthwhile financially. I think it's a fun thing to do here and there, but there is so much psa stuff already out there already that it makes more sense to just buy what you want.

grote15 · February 28, 2014 2:35PM

Are you saying I shouldn't do any more late night rips??

If somehow that magical post will stop them, then yes.

eagles33 · March 1, 2014 8:51AM

tsalems1 · March 1, 2014 10:17AM

eagles33 · March 1, 2014 10:24AM

I only have about 20 modern and about 15 vintage.. So prob struggling just to make a 25 card min.

PSASAP · March 3, 2014 12:30AM

Still no March special posted.

wrestlingcardking · March 3, 2014 2:18AM

I was searching around as well....may just make a phone call.

PSASAP · March 3, 2014 3:10AM

The specials are live now.

eagles33 · March 4, 2014 5:40AM

Any word on march specials? They are usually out by now

miwlvrn · March 4, 2014 5:57AM

<< Any word on march specials? They are usually out by now >>

They were posted earlier yesterday. Here you go.

DanBessette · March 4, 2014 9:04AM

How common is the $10, 20 day, all years, no min quantity? In other words, if I pass it up is it likely to be available again in a couple months?

TNP777 · March 4, 2014 10:33AM

If anyone plans on organizing a group sub, I'd like to join up. I probably only have 10-15 cards to sub, though.

March Specials?
