I don't see why they couldn't rotate out limited specials on that stuff, say, 1970, 1980, and 1990 sets for two weeks, then 1971, 1981, and 1991... It wouldn't materially contribute to backlog while throwing a bone to set collectors.

Or just maybe it's now such a small part of the business model that they just don't care.

I emailed Cosetta at PSA, after considering emailing Nat Turner with some of my concerns. Nat exchanged his email address with me a couple of years ago when he and I were discussing a potential deal for my 1997 PMG collection. Cosetta had encouraged me to message him since he was very open to feedback. It’s been nearly a month since I sent an email to Nat Turner and have not heard back.

I have emails from 2024 that went unanswered by multiple people at PSA, including CEO Ryan Hoge. The impression I get is that PSA simply does not care. It’s contributed to my decision to leave PSA. Frankly, I just don’t think they care about anything outside of making money.
