Anyone else still waiting on their Tall Boy special

from last month? I think I was getting spoiled with their quick turnaround time. There may only be one guy on staff who can grade these.
EAMUS CATULI!

  • Mine was finally posted earlier today. The turnaround on these was way too SLOW - 36 business days!

  • I wonder if the delays have anything to do with the difficulty of graders coming up with final mark where there are differences of opinion. Or maybe size of order is an issue in some cases.
    Mine was mailed 8/31, listed as received 9/10 and grades posted 9/19. I received 25-card order last week.

    My tallboys took forever to grade and then to make matters worse, they were graded by G.O.D. Ugh!

    Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
  • I sent in 2 orders at the same time for the August grading special. They were both received on 9/7, the 72 - 92 August special was posted and shipped on 9/13. The tall boys are lost in limbo land. I've been spoiled from my previous submissions. Expectations were set previously so I'm a little disappointed but anxiously awaiting the grades

    I've been waiting since 9/7 - it's only been 3 weeks. I think they are behind because of the 50's and tall boy specials. I sent in a 72 to 92 order at the same time and it still hasn't been graded. The past 4 or 5 submissions (of 72 to 92) were graded in less than 2 weeks. We have been spoiled lately and we are reverting back to the traditional wait times of the past couple of years (for bulk submissions).

  • I was waiting for the "Tall-boy" special... unfortunately I had all HOFer's and stars waiting to be submitted, not commons. So Wilt, Walt, Willis, and West from the '70 Topps basketball issue will just have to hibernate for a while longer beneath my bed... all are 9's (imo) except for the Willis Reed... I am a very patient man.

  • I've noticed several stars and hofer's listed in recent tall boy special grades. Was this not only for commons, or was there another special?
  • Fensfan - The special was for commons only. I submitted what I considered commons even though some of them are HOF's. I'm sure they would have returned the cards upngraded if I submitted an major star.
  • eddiev, nice get on the murphy 9!!
    My question wasn't specific to you, as others took the same approach as you did. There obviously are some issues, however, with PSA's definition of a "star" that should be clarified for future specials.
    Anytime you can get HOFer rc's graded at common prices, more power to you.
    In my case, however, I kept out some playoff series cards because they pictured stars, as well as some individual cards that would fall under the strict definition of a star.
    This confusion also may be one of the reasons for slow turnarounds in some cases.
