I am sure the new design was, at least in part, to dissuade members from busting cases. :\
To be fair, I don’t see why anyone would need to bust a case with the new “minimum grade” option.
As Promised here are some the pictures from my recent return. I only posted the cards I will be keeping form this return.
Overall a good PSA return. This card definitely made the submission for me. I only got the FA Charizard with the return but I had to take a picture with the others because it’s complete!
I added some more Tyranitars to my collection which I was also extremely happy about. Thank to whoever posted about the special foil/holo pattern in the TRR Decks. That Tyranitar Looks Insanely awesome in the PSA slab. Thank you. With the VS Rocket’s Raikou I only need 2 more Holos and I’ve completed all of the VS holos. The 2 steelixes are all that remain.
These Last ones are just random holos I’ve been trying to get in 10 for fun. Sort of an evolved 151 pokemon in normal holos and random legendaries, pseudo-Legends, and other cool pokemon that are Delta Species Holos.
Well done on the Flygon! That card was quite playable if I recall correctly, so a Gem Mint copy is surely an excellent addition. I also quite like the Rocket’s Articuno. 
Grading cards you just plain like is super respectable.
This was the original image I tried to post. I didn’t notice it was posted with the other pictures. This was why I was so excited for the charizard.
Wow. Congrats! I’ve been through dozens of FA Charizards and not had any such luck. 
don’t feel bad. I bought 3 cases, helped another seller open 6+ cases and got some cherry picked FA/SRs from another seller with nearly 10 cases. It’s really sad that you have to try that hard to get PSA 10s in english compared to japanese. Out of nearly 15 cases I’ve gotten 1 FA charizard, 2 M charizard 69, 1 Kangaskhan ex and 1 M Kangaskhan ex in PSA 10. 5 PSA 10s out of 15+ Cases. Japanese sets are like an 80% PSA 10 rate. Either I feel very lucky to have so many english FA/SRs in PSA 10.
@soulwind I’ve never played the pokemon tcg so I don’t know what’s playable lol. I really like having this in a 10. What I like even more are the artwork from the regular holos in EX Legend Maker. It’s not a very popular set and the ex are hard to get in 10. I’m only missing Armaldo ex in PSA 10 and then I’ll have the whole ex, gold stars in PSA 10 and a sealed box.
@funmonkey54 Thanks I really just like the artwork of those cards ex series regular and Delta Species Holos. It’s fun build a set that at the same time has coherence/symmetry and doesn’t. If that makes sense at all.

Yeah, I would put the number of cases I had dibs on at about 8 and I haven’t been confident in a single one. Meh
Those holos from TRR Black/Silver theme decks look lovely. You have any sealed packages left in your collection? 
I’ve got 1 sealed Tyranitar deck and I’ve got the cards from an opened Dragonite. I only had the tyranitar as a back up in case mine didn’t get a 10. Are you interested in them?
I was reorganizing collection and Ebay store today after some sales this weekend. I actually looked at my collection in detail and put the sets together. I was quite surprised with how far I have come.
My main collection goal is get all 27 English Gold Stars in PSA 10 along with all the EXs from those 8 Gold Star sets in PSA 10. That inlcudes the Box Toppers and Secret Rares as well. After I sent in a complete FRLG set to PSA which EVERY single EX got a PSA 10 I decided to Include that set as well. A simliar situation happened with EX Dragon and with all the SRs and 1/3 of the exs in PSA 10 I included that. That is basically my main PSA collectoin Goal. It Amounts to a total of 140 cards. As of 9/28/2014 I have 122 PSA 10 which puts me at 87% completion.
This was a side addition to this Main Goal. As you can see in some of the pictures I have a sealed box or blister from that set. I am trying to get all the Sealed Booster Boxes that corresponds to PSA cards. I am missing: EX Dragon, Deoxys, FRLG, Dragon Frontiers, Holon Phantoms and Crystal Guardians. To a lesser extend I’d like all the blisters from the sets as well but I know those are even harder to find. Overall I’ve been extremely lucky that I’ve graded nearly all the cards myself. I’ll stop writing and get on with the pictures.
This is just part of my work/study area. If you have any ideas for better organization I’d appreciate:

You have enough slabs to make a psa fort!
MY TYRANITARS!!! (") O.O (") RAWR!!!
The thing that caught my eye out of all that was the Biochemistry book lol. That was my major 40 years ago at UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles). Is that your major too?
My major is kinesiology. I’m trying to become a physical therapist.
Wire cutter is your friend. Always do the trick. 
The new holders are easier to crack open.
