I guess there are customers and then there are Customers.

I am probably in the minority as I actually like how they look.

I feel your pain but we have no idea when HA submitted all of those cards to SGC. Also HA does a great deal of business with them. I think they are entitled to being taken care of for deadline purposes as long as the little guys, like us, are not having our orders pushed back.

PSA does the same thing. They give expedited service to big submitters as well as huge price breaks. Min price per card for the avg submitter is now $8 or $10 making it no longer not effective to submit commons however the higher volume guys are paying as low as $3 or $4 per card.

I don't know what defines a "big sumbitted"...we have a $3,000+ group sub and weren't given any special treatment.

That is pocket change in the world of grading. I was referencing dealers who consistently send in very large submissions month after month. A one time 3K submission is not gonna get any eyes on you. Maybe if you did that 2 times a month consistently you could cut yourself a deal.

Frankly, I'm surprised that there is such an apparent demand for the new holders. Maybe it's just me, but I think they are butt-ugly! I haven't handled any, but hopefully they are sturdier than the older ones.

To each his own (makes for a broader market),

$3-$4 would be very nice. I called PSA a couple of years ago to inquire about a possible discount for my 587-card 1961 Topps set. Was told PSA doesn't discount, so I didn't submit. I wasn't about to pay $5k for grading a $5k set. Can anyone actually confirm they've received a discount from PSA, or is this speculation?
