PSA has stopped accepting submissions

This is a positive for the collector of non-graded raw cards, they will become more affordable. Why? Because there is now less upside potential for someone to score with grading a card bought raw. Raw Card Prices should become more affordable.

PSA, it is my belief, 100% is making the right move here.

Since I have done a few bulk subs to help out the members here at Net54, I figure I will add my two cents worth. This move was LONG OVERDUE!!! I have a sub outstanding since LAST AUGUST!!!! Let that sink in. Having member wait almost a year to get their cards back is unheard of. I hope this will help clear up their backlog some. I was only going to sub under quarterly specials anyway, as I think the $20 price point to get a card graded in ENTIRELY too high. Unless you hold one of those recent "lottery winners", it makes no sense.

I was just about to put in a bulk sub on April 1st, I was just waiting to see the new quarterly specials

Looks like quarterly specials are now shut down as well. I guess it works out well, since I am still waiting on submissions from last June, as well as a couple of others. Maybe by fall turnaround times will get back to "normal", it will be interesting to see if pricing follows suit!

Have you ever seen prices go down? Maybe for a blip but not much at all. My guess is prices for grading goes up. New owners and all....

Agree I expect higher pricing for grading when things open back up. Totally understandable and acceptable to me.

It is and it isn't. We will see how the supply/demand curve reacts. I know I have a ton of raw cards just waiting to go somewhere.

Like when the College Board eliminated the essay part of the SATs, and exam fees went up because they had 'restructured' the exam.
