Does PSA lose your submissions due to memberships?

This is my reason to. Put me in this group as well.

PSA blows. Usually overgraded, lousy looking holders and elitist attitude made me an SGC guy from the start. Why anyone would pay a premium for the stuff in their holders is beyond me. OOOOO a PSA 9!! Who the hell cares, it probably would only get a 7 from SGC anyway.

I did not renew because I only need a few more cards for some Registry sets and it's easier just to buy them already graded. Paying for 6 "free subs" and other worthless stuff doesn't help much... the specials are sometimes good, but I can't use them because they require 25+ card min and I don't need that many.

That was my experience too in terms of analyzing the value of their benefits. I felt it was just a load of crap I did not want or need.

I use both PSA and SGC. Both TPG's have different strengths. I sub quite a few cards, so I'm not bothered by membership fee for PSA since its offset by the voucher, you get the magazine subscription, and that coffee table book.

I've been a member for a few years. I'm not renewing. I just don't send in enough cards, and if I want graded cards, I can just get them already graded on the bay.

SMR was nice to get as a magazine, and to use as a price guide online, but I hardly ever check it anyway.

I do have a bunch of cards registered, I have no idea what happens when I don't renew, and really don't care. I bought into the registry thing for a while, but now don't care. I can't tell the difference between a 7, 8 and a 9 raw most of the time anyway so why should I pay big money for the 9?
