PSA Specials

I joined the collector's club back in April and while I do get some emails from PSA, I'm yet to get any about specials. Is that typical or am I not on the distribution list? What's the best way to find out about specials?

Also, I read on the boards a long time ago that when you get close to completing a set, there is a special to allow you to submit cards from the set for a lower rate - anyone know if that still holds? Anyone taken advantage of this?

Thanks.

They don't mail out specials.

You find the specials on the main psacard.com website under "collector club specials." Or there's usually a thread about the next months specials on the forum about a day earlier than when it's on the website.

Thank you. Any truth to what I said about a special for those near completion on a registry set?

Dez -

I have not heard of the reduced prices for registry collectors but PSA does provide free submissions according to the following rules . . .

Free Submissions. In order to encourage participation in the PSA Set Registry program when your set reaches 90% complete, you may be entitled to free grading for cards (including pre-1998 autographed cards) and tickets (effective 1/1/14).

If the set composition is 25-150 cards or tickets you are entitled to 1 free grading.
If the set composition is 151-500 cards or tickets you are entitled to 2 free gradings.
If the set composition is 500+ cards or tickets you are entitled to 3 free gradings.

Restrictions:
1) Set must be 90% complete or better and the set must be 25 cards or more
2) Free grades do not necessarily need to be for cards within the set which qualifies for the free grades
3) Member must have a current PSA Collectors Club membership
4) There is a maximum of 3 grades per year
5) Member must pay for P&H both ways
6) With each free submission approval, all items must be submitted at one time
7) Packs are not eligible for free grades
8) The free grading benefit can only be used one time per set

If your set has reached 90% complete, please contact setregistry@collectors.com with your name, address and phone number, the name of the set that qualifies and whether or not your cards are autographed. If you wish to send cards in for different service levels, i.e. crossover, regrade, raw, etc., please inform us when you request your submission form as separate submission forms are required for different types of services. (Note that cards which are autographed and dated pre-1998 will need to go through the “Grading & Autograph Authentication” service.) You will be sent by U.S. mail a submission form to be used exclusively for your free gradings.

Does anyone know if you can use the free gradings to offset a larger submission? If they have to be a separate submission then the offer is pretty much worthless since the shipping costs to and fro would be greater than the savings on the three grading fees.

Thanks Scotgreb. That's awesome info. I just saved it to a file. I'm at 83.33% on a set right now, so I'll be happy to take a freebie soon. Thanks Again.

True and sad.
