The biggest changes:
Any card valued over $25K, the grading fee is $1,200
Any card from $10K to $24,999, grading fee is $800
WOW!!

Not that it will ever apply to me, but out of curiosity, what was it before at those price levels?

I wonder what the grading fee was for Cert #00000001.
For the next 11 days it is $700 a card for $10,000 and up in value. Guess PSA really does want their piece. With the increases I wonder if they will now grade it right the first time instead of forcing submitters to do it over and over again.

Prior to the changes, it was $700 for any card valued over $10,000.
I believe it used to be $500 prior to 01/01/15. Don't quote me though.

It was free because the card was trimmed. :D

I don't care about repercussions. In my opinion it is a scam.

Actually, this is a good deal. If you pay $10 to grade a $100 card, you paid 10% of the cards value for the grading service. If you pay $800 for a $10K card, that is only 8% of the card value, $800 for a $24,999 card is only 3.2% of the card value. For the higher priced cards $1200 for a $25k card is only 5% of the cards value and if you pay $1200 for a $100,000 card it is only 1.2% of the value of the card.
That is a great deal. I plan on submitting all of my $100,000 cards right away so I don't miss out. I will probably put them in a card saver II and a PWE.

A very large piece of integrity.

And in general they do sell for more and that is a shame because SGC does a far better job at grading accurately, without the politics and without having to submit the same card 4 times until they get it right.

I agree SGC does do a much better job and their slabs look way nicer. I sent 119 cards to them today. My main complaint with SGC is their slab get scratched by just looking at them. Not sure if they recently changed them. I joined the Gold Club to take advantage of the $5 specials they do. Any way the slabs I got for their free subs was in a thinner nicer slab.
If anybody has cards their now they are taking all next week off and it does not count as business days on you submission.
