Finally, PSA is the only one left that grades jumbo sized 8x11 items. To my dismay, Beckett has stopped grading jumbo items. 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.

That looks like just a standard PCGS coin holder. I wonder if PCGS will grade pins etc? They're doing it for PSA already.
