    I cannot help but wonder why so much for a reholder?

    It's not like the plastic or insert are all that expensive and not like its that labor intensive. Certainly PCGS already own the equipment used for the sonic sealing.

    So......where we're at now is up $2.00 on the reholder and down $6.00 on variety attribution for a total savings of $4.00 per coin.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    The turn around time is related to staffing versus quantity of labor to perform the tasks. The want to get them back to you as soon as possible, there is no reason to make a customer wait. But there should also be realistic turnaround times. Being late just irritates people. This is just a means to avoid some of that. If the volume in the grading room is low or they are not all on the road a lot, turn arounds will be quicker.

    I'm still trying to understand why PCGS made a December 1 bullet point announcement of 2015 Services and Fees changes which did not include any mention of changes to the Reholder fee. It was not until December 17 that the change in Reholder fee ($5 => $12) was announced.
    I've attempted to complete a submission form for Variety Service / Reholder no less than 3 times this month. image
