From the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat!

Im waiting on three subs received 11/22. Of course I've been checking them multiple times everydayimage Well I checked a few minutes ago and my grades popped up! As I looked at the grades and cards I thought, I've seen these before.

I have a habit of leaving old sub numbers and not deleting them. I didnt realize I clicked on one of my old subs image

Going from the high of getting my grades to the low of realizing I didnt, really freaked me out. Way too much stress for one niteimage

    You should do what I do (actually, now that I thought of it this won't work for you, since you only submit Emmitts).

    Get a whole pile of cards together and send them off in different subs. Then make sure you a) don't insure the cards OR get delivery confirmation, and b) don't keep a record of the sub numbers. This way you never know if the cards have ever actually made it to Newport Beach (which believe me is a thrill in and of itself), and you also don't have any idea what cards are on a sub. So, eventually you get an email saying 'your order has been received, sub number blah blah blah', but you don't have the faintest clue what's on that sub. When you get the email saying it's done you go check out your grades without having the foggiest notion what you're going to find.

    Trust me- it's big excitement. But nothing beats the 'no insurance-no delivery confirmation' gig for a pure adrenaline high. I've got two or three subs out there which, as we speak, are lost in the ether. Are they at Newport Beach? I have no idea. If they're not there yet I can only hope they show up at some point image

    Are you trying to kill me? I would flip out doing that. I know because I actually did that once by mistake image

    Ugh, not to one-up you, but I just got the long awaited email from PSA...



    << <i>The grades on your recent submission have been finalized. You may view them by clicking on the link below. >>



    Whoo hoo! With excitement mixed with a little fear, I click the link and enter my sub...




    << <i>Your shipment was entered on 11/30/2006. Further processing is pending. >>



    Aragh! What the heck! I guess the guy who sends out the emails was working a little faster than the guy who updates the website!
