Question on Membership information (new member)

Hi Everyone,

My name is Mike and I am new to the forum. I just signed up for PSA in January and have been reading these pages since then, hoping an answer to this question would come up. Alas it has not, so this is my first post.

My grandfather recently gave me a box of coins and currency which I know nothing about. I am a member of the Collectors Club for submitting cards. Does that membership entitle me to submit items over all the areas Collectors Universe covers? or is it only per area you sign up for? Any info on that would be much appreciated.

A little about me: I collect hockey cards only. I will pick up baseball if I find something that is a steal. I just decided I wanted to complete the c56 set but have really barely started, only acquiring my first card, Lester Patrick. I am into the vintage hockey mostly collecting World Wide gum, Paulin's Candy, and any other tobacco issues. I like to trade but most of my cards are modern issues. I also collect many of the Upper Deck Young Guns cards, and just bought a book of Superlative the other day, which I have many cards to trade from that.

Just wanted to introduce myself, and If anyone can answer my question I would appreciate that.

Thanks
-Mike

    Welcome to the forum.

    Although I cannot answer your membership question, I'm certain someone on this board will (paging PSA moderator).

    It's great to see a vintage hockey collector here. If I am not mistaken it was one piece of hockey equipment that began the entire card memorabilia landslide. (Veniza goalie pad)

    We have a neighbor who played in the 1933 Stanley Cup (oldest living Maple Leaf) and actualy KNEW Lester Patrick !

    I'm sure the readers here would enjoy seeing some of you vintage hockey posted.

    cheers

    Chuck

    Hi Mike

    I usually call customer service for questions like that - also I would consider talking with the coin guys at their forum to see what's worth having submitted and what's not worth the time/money.

    I don't collect hockey - we do have some people who do - also - have you checked the Registry? There's some really nice sets there.

    BTW - I like the Imperial Tobacco C55 set - this card is way too cool:

    Good luck on the coins and stuff and don't be a stranger - coat and ties optional.

    Even if the grades were reversed on those 2 cards, the SGC holder totally blows away the PSA holder as far as making the card pop.

    Edited to add: Welcome aboard Mike.

    Welcome to the board Mike, no PSA membership does not allow you to have
    your coins and currency graded too. Go to PCGS for the coins. And PCGS currency for the notes.

    While PSA will grade just about any card the same is not true for coins as many get what we call body bagged.

    That is returned not graded for whatever reason.

    Good for you.
