Thanks for posting this as I had no idea what you were talking about in all your other posts.
I checked and a substantial part of my collection of PSA cards has old-school flips. Makes sense that they would be pre-1999 submittals. I've had some of the cards for decades and I would've self-submitted them around the time of the 1996 National and in the year or so after. I guess it was pretty soon after that when I stopped using PSA and did not go back for years. PSA missed its turn times repeatedly and had to come through with a pile of vouchers; they used to do that but I had to really fight with them into fulfilling their advertised guarantee. The whole experience it left me so unimpressed with their service that I switched to SGC shortly after its inception.
But I digress.
I've never heard of anyone collecting by flip type. It is an interesting quirk, but to each his own.
