I'm happy that there is at least someone left who will grade items that large, and I'm definitely willing to pay the $75 fee for this. (I love the PSA jumbo holders, btw.)
The coin/pin grading fee definitely stinks. Most pins won't be worth the grading fee, even for HOFers like Ruth. I do like PSA's pin holders a lot, however.

They still don't allow mixing of different sizes in the same order. Choosing the size/type is actually the first step of every submission.
I think the complaint is more about paying an extra $50 for a postcard sized card because it is a quarter inch too wide, not a jumbo sized card.
I have plenty Exhibits and similar sized cards (1933 Worch for example) and most aren't worth enough to justify the $75 cost when SGC does it for the same price as their standard cards.
Until this year PSA Supersized, which is the postcard size, was the same price as Tallboys and Regular cards.
Attached some examples of my recent SGC subs since every thread needs a card and I refused to pay $75 per card for these.
