Why?

If it were the regular price sure long lines.

But why pay $50 for something you can get done for a fraction of that and then wait in a long line?

Unless you have Mickey Mantle Rookies or something crazy expensive why pay so much?

What are regular submissions going for these days.

Last time I sent cards in it was $8 to $10 a card.

PSA bulk submissions have a max declared value of $100. At the $20 service level, the max declared value is $250. You're waiting at least 4 months to get your cards back at those service levels. That's where the $50 on site grading becomes enticing. Skipping the 4 to 5 month wait.

I've got a few cards in the $500 to $1500 range that I need graded, and am contemplating what to do. I'll only be at the National for 2 days (Thurs and Fri). If they need more than that, then I'll be out of luck, and will have wasted my time in line.

The $20 service level is for cards up to $500. I did an order with them in March and it took 3 weeks to come back. I have never had an order at this level take a month. The bulk submissions are the only ones taking longer.

They will have discounted pricing for 25+ cards; I think last year it was 25 or 35 I forget. If it's near 20; which I doubt that would be same as reg sub with {the new} 30 day turnaround time.

I paid $8 to $10 and the Wait Time was 30 Days not 4-5 Months.
