It’s a joke. This is the 3rd price hike in the last year to “discourage” submissions and help them catch up. Has it worked??? Nope. I’ve had 2 subs there since August and they still sit in the grading step.

@slade_sports_cards if you have enough of the smalls and the extra time, it makes the effort worth it as it adds up rather quickly.

Unfortunately for resale purposes, PSA is the way to go. You can pay for expedited service levels, but they DO NOT guarantee and I know first hand they don’t much give a shit about honoring quicker turnarounds.

CGC slabs are just really hard to resell from what I’ve seen and heard at the major shows across the country.

I think there is still a ton of growth opportunity with Pokémon because it appeals to so many levels of collectors. The big pitfall will be how long the “flippers” last in the market before they move on to the next big thing. This could cause singles to crash pretty hard in my opinion. I think that sealed product should maintain decent hold value/growth.
