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.

OK, thanks.

I guess that means that any PSA revenue earned for cards submittted in NJ can be apportioned to NJ tax laws. Could save them a couple %,

Perhaps its worth it to PSA to have an East Coast location which would be much more inexpensive
to set up at the East Coast shows like, Philly, White Plains, Boston, Meadowlands, Pittsburgh, VA etc...
Much easier & coast effective to drive an hour here or 3 hours there then to fly staff & booth materials from California.

Set up -- but not the grading center.

IIRC -- Beckett Grading now has a submission center in the NY metropolitan area --- and that could give them someone who can also help out at East Coast Events rather than having to fly someone accross the Country.

I did something "similiar" in a way in the 1980's -- when I set up at card shows and did work for Baseball Hobby News. I helped with the contests, took subs; and it actually helped my dealing buisness as well as that would be a nice entree to let collectors look at my cards of their favorite players.

It is not as far fetched to think that PSA would do the same thing. I would not be surprised if down the road -- SGC does something similar in the mid-west or far west. Setting up offices to drop off cards as long as you have good shipping options is not really that expensive compared to the full office you need for the main grading part of the company

Regards
Rich

so now for east coast collectors instead of sending their orders straight to CA, wait for them to be processed, graded, and sent back...they can send to NJ, wait for them to be processed, sent to CA, wait for them to be processed, graded, sent back to NJ (?), then back to the owners.

to this day, i cant understand why people complain about a $100 membership fee...

they give it back in the form a grading voucher ..hello? THEY GIVE IT BACK!

not to mention access to POP reports which are very valuable and accurate..

also, the SMr makes for great light lunch reading (or bathroom reading if you do that)

and dont say the grading voucher wont get used, otherwise a person would never have signed up for thridparty grading anyway...

GEEZ people, its not like they take $100 and give you nothing...

Strangely, I agree with him on this point. T206 are the 1987 Topps of the tobacco era, I fail to see what is so darn fascinating about them.

Default Really?

There are appx. 30 threads listed on page 1, with 4/5/6 dealing with T206. People are passionate about them, so what? I don't collect them and I can always choose whether I want to read them or not. Where's the issue?

Scott, I was totally ignorant regarding the facts about the membership. I'm sold now though. Thank you for putting that out there.

It's not like isn't right there on the PSA site... I just heard membership, dismissed it at face-value, and never took the time to read the details behind it.

Next complaint then - I just wish they had black holder inserts like SGC.

As for the membership fee -- I agree there is value in that, the only problem for many collectors is to have to join to then submit their cards. Neither SGC nor BGS/BVG require membership to then submit the cards. For some collectors, all they want to do is send cards in without vouchers, etc. I can see why some collectors get upset at that layout of money

As for the SMR, I've not been a memeber and have subscribed to the SMR --- the pubication has gotten much better in the past year -- but the pricing still needs a ton of work -- and yes I've talked to Joe O about this. This is nothing private in anything as I've posted my opinions publcly (*even on the PSA boards*)

My biggest complaints with the SMR is that

1) I was a subscriber and NEVER recieved any renewal notices. Now I know the pub is designed for member, but throwing away money is never a good idea. There should be a person designated to sell a few subs -- this would make PSA extra money

2) The pricing in SMR needs to be improived. I think we can call agree on this. This is not a shot at SMR at all -- just a fact --- It is also frustrating when prices are listed for cards in conditions that PSA has never graded. I can live with the guesstimations on the lower condition side; but the higher condition side is a different issue.

3) the POP report is valuable but not as accurate as you think. I say that because not all of the people who pop out cards from holders remember to notify PSA of that. Some dealers/collectors do -- others don't. On a general level the report is accurate to give guidelines but some specifics may be very wrong.

Regards
Rich

If this is only a drop off center, then what's the point? The same thing could be accomplished by dropping off cards at any of the nine local PSA Authorized Dealers' locations.

I used the SGC zip code for the number of PSA Authorized Dealers within 50 miles and there are at least 9 locations:

It makes no sense in my opinion.

Default I think it makes more sense

In terms of having a body on the East Coast that can also set up at shows for PSA, go to stores, etc. That way you can fly in one less person for many shows AND thus save on plane fees, and if the show is close enough some hotel fees as well.

Let's say the show was in Willow Grove and I was a PSA rep from my home town (in North NJ):

Instead of flying and potential delays, I could drive own to the show in about 90 minutes. Also -- from California to PA -- you would probably have to fly in the day before. And then I could drive back on Sunday. That saves 2 days hotel fare AND a flight fare. Right there, I have saved my company several hundred dollars. Take that serveral times a year,, and I've saved my company thousands of dollars. In addition, I can become the point person for PSA to have people send in their cards. That lets the PSA dealers spend more time on what they need to do which is buy/sell cards.

I understand this totally -- makes perfect sense -- and I think a good move for PSA to be more active on the East Coast.

Rich
