The future of bulk grading at PSA

[slightlyrounded]

Huge partnership opportunity for PSA to partner with card companies and insert discounts/free submissions via redemption. For breakers it would actually increase the 'return/appeal' on certain unopened products while allowing PSA to adjust their lower-priced submission volume over time.

Why would they do this? They already have more work than they can handle.

They have more work than they can handle now because of massive back-orders. As they continue to expand capacity they’ll want a way to throttle the inflow and that’s tough to do with drops in pricing - Nat said this himself. Better to sell cheaper, controllable allocation to the card companies and keep your consumer-facing prices higher. That way you can increase or decrease that redemption allocation without having to continually change pricing.
