Hmmm, first time I ever sent in cards to PSA, was their $75 Express rate, just before the sh*t hit the fan.
Just before that, I bought a 1910's (54) card boxing set, fully graded in 8+ condition that had been sitting on Ebay for what seemed like over a year, before I pulled the trigger on it, when it came down below $800 bucks for the fully graded set, and it seemed silly not to buy it.
Kind of blows my mind, it would cost me $5400, just to grade the set today......which BTW, even in my wildest dreams, isn't worth that much, even with the run-up.
