The future of bulk grading at PSA

[Ronnie73]

I'd like to see the bulk option come back. Even at $10 per card, but I sure miss the $6 days. At $10 a card, this is the only way I can justify having my ungraded T206's graded or crossed over. I'd like to see an $8 reholder per card for adding T206 card back info to the label. Grading would not be necessary on these, but just getting the back description correct is only needed. I believe knocking $2 off each card would be a fair trade off. Especially since it benefits their registry, which is sometimes the only reason some of us have for getting the cards graded in the first place. I don't like the need to have a current set in the registry to qualify for the bulk price. There should still be a bulk price, but maybe a bonus savings for registry set addition. All I can do is hope someone from PSA is seeing this thread and paying attention to the end users needs. I also think it's time for them to go against their word on never adding T205 back info and start doing it and showing the T205 set more love. There's a few vintage sets that could use a grading description overhaul and should be considered when the next holder/insert change happens. Such as adding another line of text and slightly adjusting the print size to allow for the change, but if done right, and slightly narrowing the print, and maybe changing the hologram location to one of the sides, more info can be added. The final change I'd make is, get rid of the clear plastic holder. I'd experiment with solid black plastic, with clear plastic in the card and label area, where it's snapped into place and sonically sealed, similar to the sealing of the two sides. No black cardboard inserts. Plus the clear plastic used in the area of the cards, have it an UV protective plastic. You don't need UV protection where there is no card. Imagine all of that during their next major upgrade rollout. Well, back to my day dreaming I guess.

with all the new personnel PSA (and BGS) have hired there is little doubt when all is settled they will resume some more normal priced based grading fees.

While we don't know what they will be, there will be some otherwise many of their new employees will be looking for work and most companies don't hire people just to let them go a year later
