Hey everyone I was a bit curious about the monthly special PSA had set up. Currently the special only allows for pre-1956 cards$8 per card grading service for the month of October, 2018.
Is there ever typically a better month to wait for to get a good deal on something such as pokemon to send at the $250 value? The months previous to October, does anyone have a list of what they have offered before?
I am looking to send in a collection of my cards of at least 50+ at the moment and was curious to know when it is best to wait or if to wait at all for the monthly special to come around. I had been searching google but mostly articles back in 2014, 2017 going off on tangents for baseball cards.
Any information is appreciated.
FYI I also called into PSA’s customer service but the lady didn’t really give me any hints on what they would offer previous months. I may just try to call back to them in the near future.
Prior to that, there was no special that included Pokemon for over a year. No one can tell you when the next one will be or whether it will be the same $6.50 price.
I did a search of our boy Gary’s posts @garyis2000 in his thread about grade results and grading specials searching for certain keywords. Hits a bunch of them and trims down the original 123 page thread a bit. You can probably find ones I missed clicking through page by page in that thread.
There is no rhyme or reason to the specials really. Your guess would be as good as anybody’s. Know that they are very backed up and though it wouldn’t be intelligent to offer a great special, they have done it in the past and may do it again.
You could use a middleman like Ludkins, they’re a great alternative to going yourself and at the current pricing, you might even save a few bucks and get much better value in the process.
