Suggestion to PSA regarding CC Specials

Instead of running the Pre -56 special month after month, how about new specials breaking up the post 1956 specials into 20 year months. Example:
April Collectors Club Special #1:
$6.50 per Card – 25 Card Minimum Quantity Required
•For cards From 1957 to 1977 valued under $100 each
May Collectors Club Special #1:
$6.50 per Card – 25 Card Minimum Quantity Required
•For cards From 1978 to 1998 valued under $100 each
June Collectors Club Special #1:
$6.50 per Card – 25 Card Minimum Quantity Required
•For cards From 1999 to 2018 valued under $100 each
Give everyone a chance at the special, do it in 20 year increments, this way you won't be inundated with cards all in a month.
All the Best !

Good idea, but I think PSA is already being inundated with modern even without specials.
Do we think they will at some point move on form the specials being pre 1956?
I have a complete collection of 1959s and an 80% collection of 1962s and I would like to get many of them graded. I have been waiting 3 months now to be able to send these cards in. I am not going to send them in until they are on special because then it will be a big saver of money.
It doesn't seem like very good customer service to ignore their paying members who have card newer then 1956. I understand they are backed up right now but that is not our (the customers) fault.
Are you looking to send them in all at once? The reason I ask is because we are looking at a .50 difference if they do a post 56 special. Now, I would assume that the majority of those cards are going to value under the $100 so could be sent in under bulk now at $7?? If you are looking at doing two complete sets(minus most of the stars because they won't all fall under the $100 threshold), I would be guessing over 1000 cards? Now, if this is the case, you just call PSA and tell them you want to sub 1k or more at once and they will give you a discount and there would be no need to wait!
I have a stack of cards from the 1960's to the 1990's to send it but keep waiting for a special. Doesn't seem like much point in renewing my subscription until they do.
I still don't get the pre-'56 cutoff. Topps changed to the standard card size in 1957 so I would think that should be the cutoff, hence "pre-'56" should be "pre-'57".
I am not sending in the entire 59 and 62 set. Between the 2 sets I would say there are between 50 and 75 cards worth grading. That includes many of the HOFs. Even if I think they might be higher if they grade higher I would rather error on the side of caution and then have to spend more money when PSA calls to tell me they graded high and I owe them more money.
If this continues I may get impatient and come up with 100 to send in and meet the 100 bulk order price but it seems silly that I have to do that. PSA should update their monthly specials.
I'm still waiting for that call, hoping actually, lol.
