It is basic economics. When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. More people are grading cards, so their wait times have gone up. They also have hired more graders. You raise prices until it causes demand to drop.

Someday, I'm going to have a really hard time shelling out $5k to get a card graded that's 'valued' over $100k. Yikes!!

I submitted a card that I picked up at the Philly Show yesterday.(1 K value)
I was surprised when they told me that they lowered the return shipping and insurance cost from $18 to $14 . John P |

All the people that submit at the Regular submission or bulk submission are unchanged on price starting next year (although bulk increased just months ago). So for the majority of submitters, this won't affect them at all.

$200 for a T3 is absolutely crazy. I can't imagine many more will be graded at that price.

2 years ago I sent in couple times when they ran a special bulk rate $6. per card. Now I see $10. on their monthly special. Doubt if we ever see $6. again. Now makes you think twice for sure on the cheap stuff.

Yeah, it's $8/card when you send at least 100. (Or in November, the min send was 25 if they were all pre-1956.)
But yeah, cheap prices may not return. One guy on the PSA/CU message board called them about getting a better rate with a prospective submission of 5,000+ cards and was told $8/card was all they could do.

Maybe it's time for the fellows that were developing that computer based system to make their foray into the market!

SGC already announced that they will be going to computer grading and scanning every newly submitted card, right? At least we'll see whether they get more accurate or not. Accuracy and consistency with SGC is not something people normally complained about. Usually it's the resale value.
