How many cards is PSA getting at the $150 level?

id think wagners would be worth more than $10 to grade...unless youre talkin' 76 topps?

This is from the March update

We will take a tiered approach to reintroducing these service levels. Our goal is to bring all suspended service levels back by July 1, 2021.

I sent in a $150 submission last month. I got it back in 23 days door to door.

Just collect raw cards and save yourself the headaches. When you look to sell, if ever, send in the cards that merit it. Or better yet, have the AH handle it instead.

I'm currently 10 days into an express submission. Time will tell...

That's quick, I'd be very pleased with 23 days door to door :-)

I have a stack of low grade prewar cards for resale that I'm hoping to send to PSA some day. I could be dreaming, but I'm hoping for a standards price for cards with a declared value of less than $100 at $10/card, and a Collector Club or bulk special at $8/card. If the prices are higher than that, then it's really not worth sending in since these cards are probably only worth $20-$25 each at best.

4 Sharp Corners for years sent in massive numbers of cards that even in high grade holders weren't worth much. Cards you don't really expect to see graded. Obviously, the model worked for them. One wonders if PSA really has cut them off or is still taking care of them behind the scenes, as such a major customer.

As of 2 months ago PSA was still taking care of some of the larger auction houses, from all appearances. Not seeing 4SC sending those emails every Mon telling us they just added 10,000 cards to their inventory. Just cannot see a scenario where they extended suspensions to everyone. Think it was intended to slow the masses down.

The days of $8-10 subs are likely gone. Even before they shut down, the bulk price was $12, then $20 for a hot minute before they shut down.

I participated in a PSA survey some months ago. There were dozens of hypothetical prices and service levels and delivery times thrown out in all sorts of combinations.
I certainly don't remember all the possible permutations, but I remember clearly that the lowest price point being considered in any scenario was $30.
