PSA voucher and submission questions

[Bkrum]

Does the PSA voucher include autographs? I didn’t see anything in FAQs that mentions that one way or the other. It seems the vouchers are best served being used on more expensive items. What strategies do others use for vouchers?

I have a very profile card (52 Mantle) that shows “possible” evidence of trimming that I want to get slabbed. I am planning on attending the National in Cleveland and will get the card graded. How should I specifically request that the card be slabbed? Should I request a number grade or just authentic?

Submit the Mantle with the line "SLAB IF AUTHENTIC." If the card is deemed unaltered, they will give it a number grade. Otherwise, it will still be slabbed. My best use for the vouchers has been to use it on in person autographed cards using the PSA/DNA dual service.
If you're going to the National, you can get 9 "on site" grades with value up to $1999/card.

If its deemed trimmed or altered it won't get a number grade only an "A" if authentic...

I think I said the same thing as swarmee in reverse... lol
