How many cards is PSA getting at the $150 level?

Bingo!!! I've got two long boxes of raw. Not junk either. We are talking, Honus Wagners, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, etc. Not worth enough to pay $100 per card, not worth enough to pay $30 a card, but worth enough to pay $10 a card.

I suggest you look elsewhere my friend. I cannot imagine PSA is ever coming back to 10 buck subs.

THAT is basically where I was going with my questions.

It's a fascinating topic. My own guess is that collectors hoping for a return to $10 grading from PSA will never have their hopes realized (unless we see a total collapse in prices, in which case they may change their minds about submitting).

$20 seems like the lowest possible number they'd go for some type of bulk submission with likely very long waits on return.

as someone said, the set registry for commons is key to all this.

The only way I see $20 or lower coming back is with literally 2-3 year wait times. Totally not worth it to me.

id think wagners would be worth more than $10 to grade...unless youre talkin' 76 topps?

This is from the March update

We will take a tiered approach to reintroducing these service levels. Our goal is to bring all suspended service levels back by July 1, 2021.

I sent in a $150 submission last month. I got it back in 23 days door to door.

Just collect raw cards and save yourself the headaches. When you look to sell, if ever, send in the cards that merit it. Or better yet, have the AH handle it instead.

I'm currently 10 days into an express submission. Time will tell...

That's quick, I'd be very pleased with 23 days door to door :-)

I have a stack of low grade prewar cards for resale that I'm hoping to send to PSA some day. I could be dreaming, but I'm hoping for a standards price for cards with a declared value of less than $100 at $10/card, and a Collector Club or bulk special at $8/card. If the prices are higher than that, then it's really not worth sending in since these cards are probably only worth $20-$25 each at best.

4 Sharp Corners for years sent in massive numbers of cards that even in high grade holders weren't worth much. Cards you don't really expect to see graded. Obviously, the model worked for them. One wonders if PSA really has cut them off or is still taking care of them behind the scenes, as such a major customer.

The days of $8-10 subs are likely gone. Even before they shut down, the bulk price was $12, then $20 for a hot minute before they shut down.
