With millions of cards already graded it's not worth the headache, expense, and long wait times to submit anymore. And don't even get me started on the pack holders. I've stopped buying PSA slabbed wax packs as I've had three different packs bought at auction in 2025 arrive to me with gum pokes in the wrapper due to the poor holder design. The gum pokes drive me nuts, so I took a combined $800.00 bath when selling these packs. Never again.
Last year, PSA began rolling out their holiday grading specials on November 16 and continued through December 31. They included a relatively large number of different offers that were each valid for a much shorter period than the usual ones, and during that interval, the current holiday offers changed progressively every few days or so. It sure would have been nice to see that marketing concept come back again this season, but apparently the only holiday special they are doing is the holiday gift guide instead, which is unfortunately just items to purchase, and not grading offers.
