    PSA No More Economy Grading??

    Trying to get a few basketball cards graded for the first time in a long time and I noticed that PSA has not only doubled their price to $50 per card for economy service ($499 max declared value), but the service has been shutdown completely? However they do offer the $100 per card $999 max declared value service at this time

    I am in possession of what I believe could be a PSA10 Yao Ming 2002 Rookie Topps Chrome card. IF it is in fact a 10 it would be worth around $1500. However if it comes back at 9 it would be only a few hundred dollars in value. So lord knows I'm not going to pay for the $100 service just to send it in and then get it back a 9....

    Anyone have any info on what's going on with PSA?

    And the grading companies have been reluctant to hire anybody to help them out!

    Just crazy, guess I won’t be sending in any cards anytime soon. What do you guys think of less popular grading services like GMA?

    Glad I sent my Giannis Prizm in when I did. And sold it when I did. Sounds like it's a nightmare to deal with grading now.
