Thanks for the help.

You can always submit it and see. Worse case, they may bump you up a couple bucks.

Does anyone know what is concerned modern? Normally PSA has years up on their specials but wasn't able to find anything.

Edit: I found it, had to dig in a little deeper on their site. 2000-2024

Mid month special? Probably getting close to finishing off the Jan special and need more things in the pipeline

Definitely, they must have more bandwidth then originally expected.

[mnvikingstwins]

Lame sent 46 @ 18.99 5 days ago that would qualify now on the special

They popped four of mine in the last three days (each sent a week apart).

Before this special, I was thinking they might as well lower the base rate to 17. 19 isn't keeping the pipeline full very long (and this is the best time of year for cards).

Submission volume must be trending downwards to have a mid month special...still priced higher than the modern special earlier in the year. Unless the market start to trend upwards, can see another modern special lower than the one earlier in the year.

Any bets on the “special” they’re releasing tomorrow? Would be nice to see anything under $14

With how much they talk about set builders and such, I would think they do something for them like a sub $14 for under $149 or something like that. Wouldn’t help me but not sure what the special could be.

[discodanman45]

I wouldn't expect anything vintage for tomorrow's special. Think they got a backlog with their 60/70's special. I have a feeling that stuff will be sitting awhile unless it is sent to SGC.

[PoPCulture]

If there is anything under $14 announced tomorrow then I’m just going to assume it’s an April fools joke and ignore it.

Tcg specials are usually under 14

I think I’m pretty much done with those for the foreseeable future. For Baseball, the best we seem to get is $15-16 per card now. I’m as hopeful as everyone else for something cheaper though!

[Raleigh504]

I think the mid month special that happened last month was supposed to be Aprils special but they didn’t get enough cards in the door so they moved it up early. The reasoning is they put an “extended” for this month too. I just think it was only supposed to be April but just had a lack of submissions and an easy way to get more is a sports card deal.

So grateful for the non-sports special

I agree. I was just going to ship out my order for the March special at 14.99 per and I saw the new special pop up for an additional $1 savings and they opened it up to include 1990 and newer.

Is the $17 sports special still there?

Edit: looks like yes

[jtclockwork]

So many modern non-sports stuff, so little time.

Will there be better specials after the new membership pricing goes up on the 20th?

Why does PSA need to have better specials? They have higher demand than ever and they graded 1.33 million cards last month. SGC is getting more backlogged by the day. If we want better specials, we need to stop sending PSA every card that is pulled out of a pack. I don't see that stopping any time soon.

So they are going to charge $50 more a year for membership and not have better specials? Might as well not be a member and submit at the value level

Value level is $25. With how many cards people submit, people will gladly pay the membership fees for $15 for TCG and $19 for Value Bulk. We will see the regular TCG specials ever month and some type of sports card special for $15. Thinking that we will see cheaper prices than that is not reality.

It literally said there would be new specials in the press release..
