I submitted hundreds of vintage 70's cards back in 2000-2009, waiting for specials that averaged $6-$10 a card. Really enjoyable, since you could make a wee bit of money on your common 8's and 9's, that in turned fueled another submission etc etc. The good ole days (before Orlando introduced half grades, that's another rant)
Who submits vintage commons for $20 a pop? A losing proposition. On top of that, PSA 8's commons rarely bring more than $20, so why even bother?
Have been liquidating my entire holdings this year, and I am surprised at the rate of sales for old flips vs new flips, the new flips sell fast, the old ones languish and get renewed every 30 days. Weird.
Like everything else in the world, corporate think usually takes the fun out of everything eventually. PSA is no different.

Sorry I was wrong. You did win the billion dollar jackpot. But bad news is i delisted the lotto numbers. Jk
No clue what that sticker is but it seems unimportant and not a label for a final psa card.

Nope, sorry. Turns out I was wrong. That's actually the code to use the bathroom at CVS.
