Hoping you can share some PSA holder knowledge

I’ve had some success with the research request function through the customer request center.

Usually they will confirm whether they will grade it. And once they respond, you can always ask additional questions by responding to their email, like asking how you should submit it, under which category, any special instructions to the graders, etc.

Thanks for the advice everyone. It is very appreciated. I think that the completely out of whack regular price for T3 grading ($150 minimum) vs other cards the same size or larger is a big part of my confusion. From what I can tell, looks like M101-2's (and perhaps W600s as well?) are regularly $75 to grade, so the $50 Oversized special is not as big of a win there as it is for T3's and T9's, especially considering the $750 declared value limit.

I still don't understand why they singled out T3's for forced Express grading ($150) vs. other 'cabinet' type cards.

I have a 1964 Topps Giant Mickey Mantle. Likely a 9, but could possibly grade a 10. Would anyone think this card would fit the special, and is it worth it?

Value it like an 8 at $350 and send it in. If it hits a 9, you're probably still under the limit. If it hits a 10, PSA upcharges you and you get a huge bonus.

Odds of an oversized card with narrow borders getting a 10 from PSA? 2%
