I just received the email this morning that value service is open for submissions again. I quickly packaged and shipped out my next vintage 10 card submission. Hopefully it will get logged in before they close down the service. Anybody else submitting?

I sent 2 submissions ...a pre-1980 and 1 post-1980 .
Easy Pass
Is it though?
Nope. I'm done with them. If I like a graded card, I'll buy it but I'm more than happy putting together nmmt raw vintage sets. They don't need my money and I don't need to contribute to a company who treats their customers like garbage.

At that price, that's NOT value !
Pass..
Snore.
at $40, i dont consider it value service
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
is the bare minimum to get a card graded truly 40 bucks now
and it takes what, 3/4 of a year to get it back ?
and the grade range is broader than ever ?
Creo que preferiría comerme mi dinero.
PSA must live an absolute surreal life. an inverse relationship between the quality of service and the amount of money they print. dream gig if you can get it.
Put The Glasses On!
Grading has left the building. Thank you very much.
I have a horde of Pokemon cards from way back when just sitting here in a box. Does anybody think that if I send if a sub of only Pokemon cards, they would receive better attention because they're Pokemon cards? If I slipped a sports related card in with them would it taint my order? Is it ok to taint? That's my dilemma. Is it OKAY to taint?
A gembryo is the early developmental stage of a perfect card.
I would hoard your horde.
I just wish PSA would value the customers' orders that they have already received...

I'd assume Professional Sports Authenticators doesn't so much want to see your Pokemon. I thought Pokemon was the problem. Maybe someone should open Professional Pokemon Authenticators.
Again... Think about the Law of Diminishing Returns.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
why is it interesting to think about the law of diminishing returns here? I thought I understood what that meant, but unless you're making a dad joke about literal returns diminishing I am too stupid to get it.
LOL $39.99 is value? Isn’t the max value $500? I could be wrong. If not, they get 8% at a minimum to miss grade your items and it takes at least 6 months to get them back. $39.99 should be for 20 day service. Like a few said early, grading has left the building.
When you can’t get your Geoff Jenkins rookies graded for less than $39.99 it’s time to get busy living.
I'm thinking more about the Law of Diminishing Fish.

I agree with most of the comments here with why people are bailing on this service. For me personally, I am submitting raw auto cards for my collection. I know the fees aren't as cheap as we would like them to be, and realistically we may never see cheap prices again. I figured that the cost of grading/shipping is about the same as if I were to buy these cards already graded on eBay. If I'm lucky because usually, I get outbid on the auctions, or they are super expensive buy it nows. Everything has gotten so damn expensive. The only thing I don't like is the 9 months wait. But I'm in no hurry. Like I already mentioned, they are going into my collection and not for resale anytime in the near future.
You can buy a really nice card for your collection for the price of grading a handful of cards at this price. 40 dollars a pop adds up real quick.
Something each of us should remember, because it is such a memory: There's an element to sending in cards for grading that yields pleasure in the finished product, particularly when it meets or exceeds expectations. Never mind the cost. It's a thrill for some people to do it all independently so they can then be able to simply say "I did this."
No one else's submission, just your own card in your own holder. I'm sure there's plenty of collectors who do it this way.

So it could be worth grading my Jim Fregosi RC?
Nice card. I would send it to PSA, unless you can buy a similar one for cheaper or equal to the cost of grading/shipping on eBay. That way you can avoid the 9 months wait.
Between when I sent my last value submissions in and today all of my cases have doubled in value - forget the cards! That's hotter than AI stocks!
VALUE ???

By the time you ad in shipping and insurance both ways you are looking at probably $50 per card. The days of getting nice condition vintage commons graded for your set are over.
We all saw this coming several years ago. They (PSA) effectively killed the registry. Who can spend that kind of money for a card ($50) for a common?
Especially with the uncertainty of the grading standard?
Romanticism is a funny thing. That girl you knew when you were teens was quite a sight, hmmm? She had all the characteristics you found enticing and you couldn't stop thinking about her. Your life revolved around her every thought. What she wanted. What she needed. She was irrefutable. Then, she started to change. Got older. More demanding. Not so attractive like you felt she was upon first glance. She developed a strong urge to increase her presence in the world, and it didn't include you. There's plenty of others who will gladly bow at her feet because they think she's still the sh!t but, you know the truth because you knew her when.....
