Is anyone waiting longer than me for a sub to pop?

Not complaining, just curious. This is the longest I've ever had to wait.

    Believe me, I would never want to start trouble but I would LOVE to know how they decide what submissions get graded first. I am sure those who pay premium for a faster service get the bump, obviously. But lets say 500 submissions for that month's special comes in. How is it decided what gets done first? It cant be by date received.

    Just curiosity, nothing more!

    Please give me lots of 10s! image

    Good question but I doubt we'll get an answer. Ive seen multiple submissions pop that were entered after mine. I do have some oddball cards in my submission, so maybe that takes a little longer? Who knows......

    I think the simpler the sub, the quicker its graded.

    If you send in 100 1976 baseball cards, that sub will be graded before a mishmash sub.

    Dave...
    I'm waiting on one from that same date-range. These $5 monthly specials are great, but typically can take a month and a half or two to pop... especially if you've sent in a mixture of sports or a mish-mash of card companies/years. Don't forget the holidays will throw everything off at least a week or so. I've been lucky enough to experience the quick turn-around (3-day turn-around) once! ... but for the most part, ya just have to wait. I've also see too many (lucky) quick turnaround result in less-than-desirable results. I'd be happy with waiting if the grades are worth it! Best of luck... waiting blows, but it's part of the game.

    My package went out 12/18/06 for 6 free subs. Got an email from them yesterday evening saying to check my order status:

    Your shipment was entered on 12/27/2006. Further processing is pending.

    My submission is not a mish-mosh and I am waiting since 11/16. I spoke to a rep. who basically said that if the sub. is not selected immediately, it goes on a shelf with similar cards. Ultimately, the sub. can simply be pushed further and further back on the shelf until the system alerts them that you are getting close to 45 business days, regardless if there is a guaranteed time frame or not.

    Basically that confirmed what we have all believed for a long time - it is nothing more than potluck as to what sub. goes when. Generally if you don't get picked quickly, you will have to wait quite a long time.

    Interesting, as that basically confirms my own experience. Either it pops in four days or so, or it takes six weeks.
