While it does provide a tiny amount of hope to registry collectors, especially of lower value non-sports, its at least a full year away it seems. I'll believe it when I see it.
I have hundreds of low value 70's and 80's non-sports for current and future registry sets of mine ready to go to PSA. Still its very difficult to justify $10 a pop but I would do most of them at that rate but NOT at even a dollar more I'll keep them raw.
BTW by low values I means the going rate mint and slabbed is less than the slab/grading cost - collected for the "love' not for the profit.
Unless otherwise specified my posts represent only my opinion, not fact.
If the $10/card is in the plans, this is a fair warning to the other pop-ups to get their act together, both for pricing and turnaround. fingers crossed.

If anyone watched the video I think the bigger news is that the regular sub level will be back in two weeks. I have a bad feeling that may result in another flood of submissions and slow down the progress they are making on the backlog. I would think regular will be priced at $75 (super express is $300, express is $150, so if they cut it in half again it’s at $75). At that price I think people can find an awful lot of cards they can justify grading.

Seeing Regular come back online in less than two weeks from now would sound the death knell for the Feb/Mar received value sub backlog. Things are crawling along as it is (the present day to CTD dates are growing now, not shrinking), this would certainly push value deliverables back at least another month or so. We've already waited a year, let's just stick with clearing the backlog before opening another level, no?
This feeling of being punished is starting to wear thin...

Great. I just uploaded a YOUTUBE video of me reciting the Gettysburg Address. It might be more exciting. Go watch it.

It's amazing to me that a company wouldn't hire enough good employees to achieve $10/card pricing all day long.
