Getting high blood pressure from waiting for grades to pop

I really haven't seen to many posts of people's cards that popped. My last sub was the largest sub i have ever sent in all at once on one submission form.
294 cards Was logged in Oct. 18
I know people have been waiting much longer and even myself have waited almost 3 months but this was the 6.00 dollar bulk special.
Thing is most of these cards are only from 2 different years !! Plus they are all hockey.
I sent in 166 cards from 1970 Topps hockey and i think it was 123 cards from 1967 Topps hockey and the rest were from various years.
So whoever posted that if you send in cards close to the same year your grades seem to get done faster. Well not the case.
At least i believe they should be done before Christmas. If i calculated it correctly my 45 day guaranteed time ends Dec. 21
Well once i see that the grades posted i'm sure my blood pressure will go even higher in anticipation to see if 1800.00 dollars was worth spending or did i just lose 1800.00 dollars in grading fees. Been a crapshoot from what little posts i've seen of grades posted.
All of these were very high grade. I will be disappointed with anything less then 3 percent in PSA 10, 60 percent 9's, 30 percent 8's and the rest 7's or the good old i missed something card.
With this being my biggest sub ever the wait is killing me !!!
Anybody else get this excited waiting for grades ??

    Given the grades that you have pulled in the past, I'm would assume that they will be worth the wait. Now get off your butt and find multiples of #13, 92, 124, 143 from the 1976 Topps hoop set, in PSA 9 or 10.
