For 3rd year in a row I've let my Platinum Membership expire without using the free submissions. GR

Last year a board member asked if I'd submit some coins for him, and I gladly said yes. So I renewed the Platinum membership I swore I'd never buy again because I didn't use it for 2 years. Well, after me bugging him a few times, and him never getting his things together, I let it go - I'm not begging anyone when they're the one wanting the favor. I had a couple raw coins I'd like slabbed and figured I'd send in his along with them, but we see how well that went. DO NOT DO FAVORS FOR PEOPLE UNTIL THINGS ARE LINED UP IN YOUR OWN FAVOR. I'm learning slowly.
Now I have 3 things I could send in and could scrape up 5 more if need be, called PCGS, but since it expired in June, I couldn't beg an extention from them. And I will NOT be renewing. Not for anyone ever again. I've wasted so much money, could've bought a little gold with that and had something to show for it.
If anyone has the Platinum service but not enough coins to submit, and could send 3 in for me, please let me know. I'm fairly trusting, but it would have to be someone I've dealt with before, or someone in "The Circle"! I also have a Sacagawea Goodacre in the original ICG holder I'd like crossed if you'd like to piggyback one using that service.
Sorry for the vent. This is my own fault, I should've had the other coins in-hand before sending payment. Then should've dealt with this sooner instead of procrastinating. I knew it expired this summer but didn't know when. And just WHERE did this summer go??? Wow, it was just May, wasn't it?!?

one of four different memberships so I can then send more cash in to have coins graded? Just wondering.
<< <i>Next time you feel the need to send some money somewhere and expect nothing in return, just PM me.
Thanks for your generous offer - your check is in the mail!
<< <i>Can someone explain the reason behind having to go through a PCGS authorized dealer or buy

Without looking it up right now because I'm feeling lazy (honest, aren't I?) I'm 99% sure the Platinum membership is $199. With that you get 8 "free" submissions. Regular submissions are $30 each, so it is a savings (yes, if you USE IT!)
I know I'm not the only one who's done this, but do I break any records by doing it 3 times?!

I came close once. Very close.
But........I've always used those free submissions.
BTW, if ANYBODY is having ANY kind of difficulty in using their free submission vouchers, just forward them to me and I'll make the most of them.
The name is LEE!

Seriously Lee, I'd have rather given them away to be used than let them go to waste.
