    This is the first time I've sent in a submission for a monthly special and not sent it in on the last day. Got it to the post office this afternoon. Quite an improvement.

    I am also working late. Got to get to the PO early tomorrow to beat the weather.

    Here in St. Louis we will go from 75 degrees today to a winter storm warning tomorrow.

    Two 50 card subs for me. Everytime I send off the 100 card bonanza I get stuck with the G.O.D., so I'm going to try something different.

    56 carder. Not expecting great things, though.

    G.O.D. is your friend, Boo!

    I look at G.O.D. the way Zef looks at cigarettes.

    I am one bad submission from financial ruin!
  • five7teenfive7teen Posts: 325
    Two subs of about 40-45 cards each in the mail today - hoping (against hope) to have a handful of those great little PSA boxes to open by Christmas...

    I mailed a 62 card sub in today. I just hope mine beats all of yours on the conveyer belt! image

    LOL! It's not the financial ruin I worry about so much as it the utterly depressing prospect of having to find a home for 200 (or more) PSA graded cards with a collective value of about $550. Although I will be the first to admit that spending $600 on grading fees, and getting $200 worth of cards back, is a high hard one right up the ol' jockey shorts.

    Also, LOL at Yankeeno7's conveyor belt line, which suggests that there's a 'FIFO' policy at PSA. Don't make me laugh so hard next time, Yank-- I'm getting older, and my bladder's no longer made of cast iron. And the chair I'm sitting in is upholstered in cloth.

    After I mail these next two tomorrow I will have 7 subs waiting at PSA. Hopefully by Christmas I'll have something back as well!

    LOL Boo..If I can just cut the checking status 60 times a day for just one day, I'll take it! But I do know that FIFO doesnt exist...but its a comforting thought! Party on!! image (Even if you do have a weak bladder!)
  • JVetteJVette Posts: 206 ✭
    Mailed mine in today. Looking forward to seeing what the Dec specials will be.
  • yankeeno7yankeeno7 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭
    Speaking of that JVette...

    I have a couple other things going on besides the holiday shopping and was going to take the chance they would extend this special in December. I just couldnt chance it. I borrowed money out of one of my "do not touch" funds OUCH!! Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!

    No, Virginia, FIFO DOES exist.

    In all seriousness, best of luck on your sub.

    And good luck on yours also, Boopotts! image

    Mailed mine on 11/27 to avoid the last minute rush
  • zef204zef204 Posts: 4,742 ✭✭
    I wasn't planning on it, but I just realized this was a good opportunity to get in my 50's cards.

    Looks like I'll be up!

    I have learned a very important lesson by reading this thread.

    Don't bother sending in a submission the first week of a month right after a special has ended. They're going to spend all of next week opening your packages!

    I assume you're all doing your Christmas shopping on December 24th? *grin*

    It looks like this special has been extended. I guess I know where I'll be on Dec. 29th.
