PSA needs to introduce a non-guaranteed review...asap
PSA's pricing structure is nonsense. I would guess 95% of their grading fees are cards under $5K. PSA fees go from $20 to $500 within that amount. No way you can cover the risk of that guarantee in those amounts.
PSA needs to introduce a non-guaranteed review that slabs and grades only, immediately. Charge nominal amounts on a sliding scale. Then introduce a higher-end guaranteed review, very expensive, but takes the real risk of guaranteeing that card is original and unaltered.
The problem is they have tied their grading fees into the value of the card. But card doctors are manipulating cards from all of their pricing tiers. PSA is charging $75 on a $1,900 card. Who in their right mind thinks PSA is doing all the work BODA does on one card for $75? And they are guaranteeing it. No f-ing way.
If they don't revise this pricing structure shortly, they are clueless.
