Generally and long term it shouldn’t matter much. Now will it hurt PSA? Well, if so, they can always adjust their rates or add on a special.
Now i need to decide to use this now or wait and see if a Pokémon special pops up next month…

My guess would be next July at the latest (and likely July). The deal won’t be $6.50 good. It’ll probably be $7.50 or $8 with better turnaround times and lower quantities required (Ex: 25). You could be waiting a while if you’re holding out for the next Pokemon Special.

Copy that!
Hope my promos get here from Japan soon…!
I submitted a Topps Chrome Pokemon card for PSA’s Rehold/Mech Regular service. The card was received on 08/07 and completed 08/22. I had emailed PSA on March 17 citing that the card was incorrectly labelled and finally heard back on July 2nd lol. Despite the long wait, I’m happy with the way things turned out. They not only paid for the Rehold/Mech service, but shipping both ways. Didn’t cost me a thing.
That’s good to hear. You must be very patient though.

I’m anything but patient lol. 
I’ve been checking the status of my current 11 card submission like a madwoman for the last month.
To be honest, between work and other life events, I kind of forgot the whole thing after sending the initial email to customer service. Of course, had it been more a valuable card, I would’ve pushed harder to have it done more quickly.
First submission not too bad, other then a shining Charizard coming back creased

A small step towards my goal of shadowless holos PSA 8+. Regraded the Champ because it really didn’t deserve a 7. And the Stoise was beautiful. Kind of a lucky 8 but I’m happy.
Keep Flexin’

45 business day “Pokemon Special”
Mailed on the 1st of June.
Arrived at PSA’s P.O. Box on the 2nd of June (Yes I’m that close.)
Checked into PSA’s system on the 12th.
Grades ready for viewing on the 23rd of August.
Absolutely thrilled with this submission. The cards were out of order when I got them and I hadn’t peaked at the grades so it was a total shock to find a gem mint Blastoise randomly in the mix when I went through them.
The first batch of Base, Jungle, and Fossil holos are my cousin’s cards from child hood. The heavy print lines are the reason for the 7’s.
The Lugia and Shadowless were bought loose, some of them many months ago and the No Symbol Jungle is all pack pulled. I sent one set of No Symbols plus the extras I had. This was the best No Symbol return out of four or five submissions. Ten out of twenty-two came back gem, including the Vaporeon which means I’ve officially graded all sixteen holos in a 10 myself. It only took six or seven Vaporeons to find a 10. The Cleairy 7 and Chansey 8 I showed below are only reduced grades because of a weird foil issue only seen at an angle. Other than that I really like them for the card stock quality and great color.
The best part of this submission besides the grades is I’m yet to find any fingerprints or damage to the cards. I can tell by the new labels on the card boxes that they’ve made some improvements with their process. I also think the cards being mixed up is a good sign because hopefully that means two graders did actually look at everything.
Nine of my favorites at actual size if you open the image:

Congrats! I love that Blastoise (to be fair I love all Blastoises). I just won an auction for one and spent a decent amount on it!

Indeed. Those returns were Ray-Crazy. I like the unlimited 9 Charizard and the Southern Island cards hiding in the middle of the list.
