millions worth of cards colleting dust on shelves at PSA

With the insane prices that things are going for these days is there anyone else other than me that thinks it may be a blessing in disguise to have our cards sitting on the shelves at PSA ? I have 7 orders with over 600 cards and a lot of really nice cards that have appreciated like crazy since I sent them. Multiple hi end Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, Montana, Walter Payton rookies as well as extremely high end 70's baseball cards. Had I got them back in the old one month or so time frame I probably wouldve sold them already. It's making me more and more anxious to see my grades, but I'm taking this long wait period as a blessing in disguise for me.

    I don't know about a blessing in disguise. Rather have card in hand and I decide when and if to sell.

    i was thinking the same thing. the prices that taylor and payton are going for just hope by time you get them it is not to late to sell them if that is what you might do. if not that is great also.

    I'm just hoping they arrive back during the correct sports season to maximize returns on those for flipping.

    same here. But I would still like to get some movement going. Have a couple bulk orders in house for 6 months and still in research. I have four regular $20 per ( regular at the time) for 5 months. I need to turn some though I have had to sell some cards I wasn't planning on selling to offset my buying.

    I have a nice Montana rookie in my latest sub that’s taken me forever to pull together. During that time, it’s appreciated so much, I have to pull it from my bulk sub and add it my premium sub with the Mantles and Yaz rookies. Fortunately the Griffey UD can still slip in with bulk...for now. I have a fist full of those as well.

    I use the proceeds of my subs to buy high-end cards for my personal collection. So while my 8-months-and-counting bulk sub may have increased in price, I'll be buying into a market that has also increased. It's a wash at best.
