PSA to open East Coast Office

[bijoem]

I'm looking forward to PSA on the East Coast.

Hopefully that means on-site grading at Philly Shows at some point.

Wouldn't that be interesting. I sometimes think that is PSA did onsite grading in PA and had customer service like SGC if I would love PSA. It makes me think once in a while and then I realize that PSA is a big company and that I would never be able to deal with the same people every time I submitted cards.

Still I find onsite grading very useful but based on how SGC has increased the onsite prices over the years I can't imagine it would be porfitable for PSA either.

It looks like there are a lot of things changing this year and time will tell how they will impact the hobby.

I always deal with the same person at PSA. His name is Roy Alcala and I feel he offers customer service on par with what Michael, Brian, and myself offered at SGC.

I look forward to hearing more about this, I did at one time travel to Philly for the onsite grading with SGC and sometimes their office. I would most likely do the same with PSA.

I think they could probably cover some of the expenses by moving to a grading system in 0.25 increments. I know I would send all my PSA 5's in to try for a 5.25 bump...

Take Care,

A month ago Joe said they would announce the location within 2 weeks.

One other thought...could the East Coast office be a precursor to PSA moving their Corporate Headquarters permanently? A lot of companies are leaving California to avoid the onerous employment laws and taxes.

According to the PSA forum here Linky, the East Coast office will be in Northern New Jersey and will only be a pick up / drop off location with no onsite grading.
