PSA East Coast Office Close to Opening

[Davalillo]

Announcement due in next week.

This will be huge for me as I still have 18-20,000 cards that need to be reviewed to go to 8.5 from 8.

I don't believe they will be graded there however.

For 18-20,000 cards, I would think that Joe O. would personally come to your house and pick them up!

Well, PSA opening up in the east is probably good for the hobby. And not to totally get into the whole debate, but it's the subject of the thread, more or less, is the issue of what goes up truly can't go down. That is always a bit of a conundrum for me.....but there are bigger issues in life and I wish PSA all the best in their endeavor. regards

Good luck to you. Personally I would rather spend that money on more cards, not sending in cards I've already had graded hoping to get a 1/4 grade bump, but that's just me.

Do the cards come back in better condition

What's the point in opening an office where there will be no grading on site? They'll just have to be packed up and sent to Calif anyway? Why not just send them directly yourself to California?

Because then they wouldn't have an east coast office .

I thought the same thing. It seems like it will take longer "adding in the middle man". I would still send cards directly to CA. I don't see much happening in the East Coast office unless you live less than 30 minutes away!

Many people have an aversion to sending expensive items in the mail. They are afraid they will get lost or damaged. Once they hand over their cards to PSA, they also rid themselves of the responsibilty of shipping them. It may not make sense, but I bet there are people who will drive an hour or more to the NJ office rather than ship cards themselves.

20,000 cards? For Jim anyhow, not a practical alternative.
