Another submission question

The January specials read "must be postmarked between 1/1/09 and 1/31/09."

I am going to call PSA tomorrow to be 100% sure, but my question is can I mail the cards tomorrow (the postmark will be 12/31/08)?

I was going to wait until after 5 PM tomorrow to print a stamps.com label because after 5 PM it would ask me if I want to change the date to the next day mail is collected (which would be 1/2/09) and then I would bring it to the PO before 7 PM (thats when they close) with a postmark within the guidelines of the special. Unfortunately that plan went out the window because my PO is closing at 1PM tomorrow.

    I doubt that anyone in receiving is checking the postmarks for current specials, especially since it will arrive within the dates for the special. Heck, I know that they've accepted specials postmarked a day or two late, so I seriously doubt they'll decline a submission during a special because it was mailed a "year" early... Just make sure to Etch-a-Sketch the correct special on the box... image

    Thanks Scott, I wont yell at you like Matt did.
  • Nick,

    I'd just call PSA tomorrow like you said and I'm sure you'll be okay.

    I would mark "JANUARY COLLECTORS SPECIAL" on the top of your forms and also outside of the package just to be safe.

    Why not? Join the club -- the more the merrier. Actually, don't. I enjoy our conversations and your PMs. Otherwise, I'll have to start "talking down" to you, too...

    No. Why? Are you high? image

    Unlike some of the dealers I see at shows, at least I'm taller than I am wide... Although Publius still insists I have a mohawk and am laden with tattoos from head to toe.
  • This seems appropriate about now.

    Randy:

    No mohawk here, either (although there is some ink - not on the head, though). At best, I could probably manage an inverted mohawk... image

    Sorry I'm running a little later than promised with my update.

    I just got off the phone with PSA, and the representative said that because they posted the special earlier than usual she didn't think that it would get kicked back to me for having a 1 day early postmark.

    On a much more interesting note, PSA will be closed Friday January 2nd.
