April $5 Special--Anyone still waiting?

jpvintagesports · May 23, 2011 6:32AM

Hi guys. My order was logged in on April 14, I know it hasn't been 45 days but it hasn't taken this long in years. Anyone else still waiting on the April special? Thanks.

those have always taken longer for me.

I had a 100 card April $5 CC Special logged 4/28, popped 3/17. It was a mix of mostly Topps 1955/1956, nothing unusual.

Afternoon,

I have one from early April, The CBT Group Sub from early April, one from 5/2, and a 7 day turn around that's been waiting forever to get even logged in!!

WOW that was quick. WARP speed! I guess it popped 05/17.

I'm with Neil in the CBT group sub ... still waiting.

Yep....so much for the great service that I recently complemented PSA on (where 45 day specials were popping after only 2 to 3 days). I recently renewed my membership and sent in my 6 free gradings. These fall under 7 day grading periods and today is day 7 with nothing popped yep. Not a good sign for those who have sent in 45 days specials.....you guys could be looking at the full 45 days. If I knew this to be the case, I might not have renewed my membership.

The annoying thing is that there doesn't seem to be any sense of order. I piggybacked half a dozen cards to help a friend fill his 50 card sub. Logged in April 21, popped April 28. Not cool!!

Yes, 5/17. Sorry about that. I was just starting to get worried about a 2 month wait after the horror stories I was reading on this board, then it popped. No rhyme or reason, I consider myself supremely lucky. Do you think the quanitity and/or content of the sub make a difference? I've heard that anything non-"mainstream company sets" can throw a wrench in the works. I was also extremely careful to make sure no errors were made in the submission, I know that can screw it up.

Currently waiting on a sub logged in from Apr 4th. Not quite 45 days, but getting there.

well i my bulk subs logged in either 3/31 or 4/1. i have gotten two of them back already. hope i get one more this week so i can add some more cards to my sets before the deadline. still waiting on my tall boy bulk from the same time. my patch bulk popped a few weeks back as well as another smaller bulk sub. so not sure how backed up they really are, or if larger bulk subs get pushed to the head of the line on the long turn around lists.
