I am such a stupid PCGS Koolaid drinker!!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!

Thurs is June 30th. That's the day the registry closes. On the Canada $1 Commens I need 1 upgrade for a solid PR69DCAM set! I thought that would just be so cool! So I ship the coins (the coins cost $25 each!) and they are received 6/20 on a 5 day express order! I really wanted these for the set. So today DAY 5 I call CS and get the great news! There is an EVENT and there is a Blackout Period: June 27-29, 2005.

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS!!! So I pay the big bucks to get a 5 day order, my coins are still in grading, and the gaurentee goes out the window! I can't get over they have a black out days before the registry closes! and what is worse is that I was a big enough dip chit to not see it when I filled out the submission form!

OK, my rant is done and I feel better now!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Uh, Marty, the blackout period has been listed on the page for about three weeks.

    You'll still be top banana, though.

    Call them and see if they'll cancel or change the order.

    I did a $100 walk through and even sent it express mail just to get there the day a event started. I didn't bother to check the blackout days either. Too bad you're not a newbie, then you wouldn't have to feel like a dip chit. It's great being a newbie. Oh, I got a Body Bag out of the deal.

    That's not right - what TIME was it received. If early, then five days would be last Friday - and they are late. I would call them and tell them to send coins now or downgrade order or cancel it.

    Marty,

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how about calling on 6/30 and getting the grades???

    Will they not have them ready???

    They might also expedite the order if you tell them what it is for?
