I don't believe there is any significant bias between submission tier and grader outcome. I've seen $20 cards become $5,000 cards under standard bulk submissions with a $100 value cap.

If PSA charged $50 per review for a $25,000 card, the owner will submit it 50 times just to see if they can get a bump. In my opinion it's a sort of luxury tax to help prevent market manipulation. There are very few $10,000 raw cards on earth, so this fee structure essentially only affects resubmitters.

OK...well has anyone been contaced by a TPG'er afer a submission...to be notified that they have dramatically undervalued a submitted card(s) and that they will have to pay a higher fee if they want the card graded?

The card certainly looks very sharp and it's well centered. As an alternative,you might want to consider trying to get SGC to bump it to a 98, especially if you can do it in person.

yes that does happen, pete

but has to be completely unrealistic original submission level.*


like submitting a card w/ a value of $14,999+ at the $7 level.

you will also be posed about the return shipping insurance level if your card bumps.


and on the rare occasion I have heard about them actually raising the submission price if the card does bump after the fact. I do not know if this is 100% accurate, but have heard about 2 instances a while back.

* but they do that before the card is even graded. while it is getting logged.

Yes, I submitted this card at the under $5K level. PSA called me, and told me I had to pay at the under $10K service level.
