I didn't think there was anyone forcing someone to enter into a PSA grading service contract. Submitters are given a choice, and make the decision for themselves then. Not sure how someone, even in a California court, could consciously accept the terms and fees under those conditions where they know the cost in advance, and then be able to turn around at a later date and come back and argue they were somehow being overcharged/cheated. Last I looked, there are other TPG services to choose from as well.

Not sure what wait times have to do with the OP's question though. That is an entirely different topic that has already been addressed in multiple other threads.

So any contract term I agree to is per se valid because I chose to agree to it? There goes a lot of contract law. NOT saying there is anything invalid about this particular contract term, just questioning your overarching principle.

A contract can say anything it wants to say, but it doesn't supersede the state and federal laws. PSA could say they are allowed to kill you if you submit a card with a crease, but that isn't holding up in court even if you signed it.
