Anyone else getting their May/June sub in at last minute?

yankeeno7 · June 28, 2006 2:53PM

I just sent my May/June special in today. Anyone else waiting until the very end? I saw one person that got their submission entered and shipped in one week. Any chance the graders have caught up and making the quick turn around?

What's your best guess? Will I be pleasantly surprised or killing myself with anticipation?

Elemenopeo · June 28, 2006 8:00PM

I always procrastinate until the very last day... and usually get a pretty quick turnaround. I'd guess that you'll get your cards back within two weeks.

thenarcissus01 · June 28, 2006 8:13PM

Yes, I will be sending one in the last day of the month.

onlyanumber · June 28, 2006 9:15PM

I have one on its way back from PSA and I figure I'll squeeze another in tomorrow.

1966CUDA · June 28, 2006 9:18PM

I've got one for 110 cards to go out but have been waiting for a previous one. I sent a 60 card order out May 31 thinking it was only a May special and it still hasn't been graded..uugghh!!

tennesseebanker · June 28, 2006 9:22PM

Ive got one in, Entered 6/12, Sent in another yesterday, and may send in another tommorrow.

JVette · June 29, 2006 1:48PM

Just finished wrapping up my subission of 65 Topps Baseball. Will be at the post office tomorrow morning.

WeekendHacker · June 29, 2006 2:26PM

I am working on a 100 card submission as I type this. 1970 Topps, 1978 Topps and some stars from the 80's (not for a registry set). This will be my 7th or 8th sub since May 1st - about 1 a week - somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 cards total. The quickest turn-around once logged at PSA was 2 business days, the longest was 9 business days. Funny part, not all of the subs were graded in the order they were received - it was very random.

5STAT · June 29, 2006 2:34PM

writing out stickers as I read this....only 80 cards..in the mail in the am..

Also sending a bulk 1000 card order tomorrow too...let's see how THAT turnaround is...lol

metalmike20 · June 29, 2006 10:10PM

I've been up since 4:00 am preparing submissions plus I spent all day yesterday busting open boxes. Nothing like waiting till the last minute!!

Mike

ralstonpurina · June 29, 2006 10:16PM

I sent two in yesterday, most of the stuff for my sets - 84 fleer update, 84 and 85 donruss, some oddball stuff (80 Burger King, 81 Coke), and some 81 topps just because they looked nice

RedRomad275 · June 29, 2006 10:58PM

I sent two in on 7 June. One was a 12 card order for renewing my membership. Received that back this past week. The other was under the $5 special wasn't logged in until the following week. Still Nothing. Send a third one in on the 23rd logged in the 26th. Both $5 specials were 40 cards each. I also have read of the quick turn around time and am hoping for the same. I think with the end of the special today there will be a glut of last minute submissions so turn around will be slower.

envoy98 · June 30, 2006 4:32AM

I sent in on Tuesday, received yesterday...I see they just charged my CC but it's not entered yet. Hopefully I get the quick turnaround as well. I'll have anoter sub getting ready tomorrow for the July special if it's really the $10 1954-71 special I've heard about.

pandrews · June 30, 2006 5:18AM

yeah i mailed one off today..

ldferg · June 30, 2006 5:23AM

sent one yesterday around lunch

yankeeno7 · June 30, 2006 5:30AM

Thanks guys...you are all going to delay my submission turn around!

Good luck to everyone on their submission!

mikeschmidt · June 30, 2006 5:45AM

sent some in today

MorrellMan · June 30, 2006 6:06AM

sent mine today; I had to wait to get my 85 Donruss box that came in the mail Wednesday.

NewJerseyMeatHook · June 30, 2006 6:17AM

OK, anyone ever sent one in a day late!?

Results, or just a problem submission?

I've been on vacation and would like to send one out. Saturday morning (July 1). Is this advised, or am I screwed?

Input appreciated. May save me some work tonight!

Thanks, Fellas!

jimq112 · June 30, 2006 6:30AM

I sent in my first ever sub today, started with almost 500 cards I wanted to send, scanned them all at 600 dpi, narrowed it down to about 200, scanned again at 1200 and sent in 45.

Hoping for some decent grades, but nervous.

yankeeno7 · June 30, 2006 6:44AM

NJM
Sorry, I have never tried it...but go for it! I dont think they would turn down the biz!

Jim
Good Luck on your first sub! Ive seen people get discouraged on their first, but dont. It's definately a learning curve. I hope your eye is as good as you think!

Barry

digicat · June 30, 2006 6:46AM

Heh. Just got back from the post office. 50 card sub. Keeping the ol' fingers crossed!

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope the eyes are better than I think, I thought I had nice cards till I scanned em real big.

You should invest in a 10x jewelers loupe. You can snag one for under $10 on Ebay. That'll save you the time and hassle of scanning all those cards.

Carew29 · June 30, 2006 10:42AM

I sent in a group of 50 today. Mostly Carew's for upgrades. I did add some "cherry" 75' and 78' baseball OPC cards ( stars) that should grade very well. I looped de loop the heck out of them.

yankeeno7 · June 30, 2006 11:15AM

Happy to report my order was recieved in TWO days from NY to CA!! Now the anticipation begins....

gregm13 · June 30, 2006 11:35AM

I may qualify for sending out one of the last orders!! I made it to the post office at 6:27 p.m. this evening to drop off my submissions (with 3 minutes to spare)!! May the grading gods smile down upon me (and hopefully GOD is on vacation the next several weeks).

Regards,

Greg M.

Bosox1976 · June 30, 2006 11:48AM

Mine went out at 5:53 pm.

Just 25 cards - mostly 1975 from racks.

digicat · July 6, 2006 11:52PM

Just got the "Thank you for your PSA order" email. Cards recieved: 7/6. If turnarounds are as good as a few folks have been posting, I might be seeing my grades post by next week. No unusual cards that would slow things down... unless the grader has never seen 80s Mothers Cookies cards before.

yankeeno7 · July 6, 2006 11:57PM

Mine were received on 6/30/06...so of course I have the happy fingers checking 10x a day hoping they are done in a week to 10 days...yes, may be a big dream....but I only dream big!

zef204 · July 6, 2006 11:58PM

I got the e-mail yesterday too. I hope for the quick turnaround time too and hopefully they will LOVE my 67 Philly's and 76 Topps bb's.

ldferg · July 7, 2006 12:16AM

mailed 6/30 received 7/3....checking about 10x a day minimum like yankeeno7...haha.

BigRedMachine · July 7, 2006 12:42AM

My 30 card submission was received JUNE 6th, and I've got nothing on the special.

Seems if you aren't lucky enough to get grades in a week, you get put back 10 to 12 weeks.

Yuk!

shawn

1966CUDA · July 7, 2006 12:48AM

BigREd---I know the feeling. I got an order in the 1st week of May and grades were posted in ONE week. I sent a 2nd order the 5th of June and grades posted July 5th one MONTH later......guess you never know. I just sent a 119 card order in on June 30...hopefully they grade quicker!!

Well, the "no holder available" is a 1984 Topps Nestle Mattingly!!!

I had NO idea they didnt do these! I thought for sure I had seen them before on ebay. That one I expected a 9 and maybe even a 10!!

Wow, 1981's are tough. I thought if I got enough 9's on the Drakes I would have tried for a set of 9's. I think I will give up on those. I really expected much better on those. They are the sweetest graded 1981 Topps product in an 8 that you will ever see!

Overall, Im fairly satisfied. I normally am closer to guessing my grades but I guess my eye wasnt quite as sharp this time.

mcholke · July 7, 2006 6:07AM

Nice group of cards and great turn around. I concur with the get it turned around real quick or it gets stuck in the back of the line. My first order in June popped in 5 days now I have one from middle of month not back and I have another I mailed on June 28th that has not been received yet. Customer service told me they received 300 orders after July 4th holiday related to the June special. I just hope my order gets logged in soon.

5STAT · July 7, 2006 6:23AM

I'm with you...a 100 card order went out the last day of the month..as did an 1100 card order...neither has been logged yet....

mcholke · July 7, 2006 7:12AM

No sooner did I post my message and leave a message for customer service, my order now shows as received. I always get nervous that the package could be lost until it is received so at least I can relax and starting the waiting game. 5Stat hopefully you have the same luck today. That is a couple of big orders.

PlayBall · July 7, 2006 8:02AM

Sent an 60+ card order on the 30th. Doesn't show as received yet. I was also dumb enough to forget to write the type of submission on the outside of the package. This has been the biggest reason for slow entry into the system in my experience. I assume PSA pushs us knuckleheads to the back of the line. No hurry though. It's a quirky mix of modern shiny stuff, so the turnaround will likely be slow anyway.

NewJerseyMeatHook · July 7, 2006 8:35AM

I submitted around 100 items on . . . JULY 3! Never done this before. Wonder if the good folks at PSA will let this slide. Probably headed for the PROBLEM SUBMISSION room!

Oh well, it's only time.

80sJunkie · July 7, 2006 3:00PM

Put my 250 card sub in the mail today. Was waiting on some boxes to show up to rip. But i printed out the postage on june 30 so technically it was postmarked by june 30th according to the postage. I hope this slides in it worked on tha last special shhhh!

RobBobGolf · July 7, 2006 9:32PM

Sent 2 different subs for the May/June special on the 30th. A 50 card lot and a 75 card lot. Both recieved 7/5/06, but not logged yet.

Just an FYI...I had a submission voucher for 5 cards that I attached, well I had no idea these things had an expiration date. PSA was quick to contact me though. So, if you have any vouchers, be sure to keep an eye on the Exp date.

RobBob

5STAT · July 7, 2006 11:18PM

My smaller order posted last night...the big one still in limbo, although it is there.

As for the vouchers, yup..a pain for sure..especially when you get one or two vouchers at a a time. You want to save them up and send all in one box...but you can't forget them sitting in yet another pile on the desk. lol

Going back to an old thread....I'm back up to many many a pile stcaked up...over 40 to be exact. A custoemr came in with his young son the other day. The little boy looks up at me and asked "does the messy monster live here?"....."he comes to my room too!!"

I had to laugh...

>>

I usually use the vouchers for credit on my subs, you don't need to send them separately. not sure if everyone knows this. makes a lot more sense than paying $12 shipping for 2 cards at $5 submissions

5STAT · July 7, 2006 11:49PM

You learn something new everyday!!!

Thanks....

Mefer · July 8, 2006 12:12AM

I sent in a hodge podge order on June 29th that just recently posted as received. The order includes some 78 Donruss KISS cards for my registry set. I mention that because everytime I include 78 Donruss KISS cards, PSA takes 35 years to grade my order. A number of 78 Donruss KISS have been graded now; I don't know why it still takes so long for them. I expect a long, long wait.

thenarcissus01 · July 8, 2006 6:02AM

Must be a lot of subs going in at the last minute. Mine was there on the 3rd but not logged in until the 7th. Could be a while before this one comes back.

Anyone else getting their May/June sub in at last minute?
