PSA received this batch 3 days ago and it's already done. Awesome turnaround time but I'm sure it wasn't done on first come first serve. Here are my results:

I did great on my 70's stuff. The grader was a little harsh on my Garbage Pail Kids since they came straight from a wax box but I can live with that. The 1986's were a fun test since I've never sent in any before. They came out pretty much like I expected. Also some of you might remember a thread that I started about that 1984 Marino at the end. It came out of a GEM 10 holder that I picked up for half the price of a PSA 8 so I should do very well on that one. If closing prices are still the same, that one should sell for about 5 times my cost. So lesson is, not all GEM cards are bad. I think I will be selectively looking for some more GEM graded cards to play the crack and grade game in the near future.

I suppose it makes sense from a cover-your-ass point of view to delay the logging until you are sure you can grade them in 5 days. But it sure is frustrating when you pay extra, then wait and watch the no-hurry cards fly in and out at hyper speed. Maybe the vintage people were on vacation and their staff was lopsided toward modern graders at the time.
