2 items, 20 business day, submission

Subbed, in person to PSA, 45 days ago

Logged, finally by PSA, 35 days ago

Today is Business Day #21... still no poppage

Last Friday, and today, I'm addicted to the "Your Account" page... and often have found myself going back and looking at past submission results just to remind myself what poppage looks like!

Happy Friggin New Year

    I so do this... I have a problem.

    I have a ticket sub (20-day) and a pack sub (45-day) out right now. Logged on 12/7. Not even close to being overdue yet, but still check on the hour... even if that hour is midnight. image

    I tend to do this also.

    I have 6 subs in right now, but after reading this post I checked again...one popped! haha

    I'm guilty of this too. Even on days I know they are closed I check for some sick reason. I know now not to sub between oct and jan1. I think we are around day 42 for the group oct special. I don't even have anything valuable in the sub the suspense is killing me

    I have seriously considered making the My Account page my home page when I have subs in. Never actually done it, but I am sure I will get to that at some point.

    Logged 11/7/11 and still nothing for me under the 45 day CC special in November. I think the longest I have waited is two and a half months so I still have a few weeks before any personal records are broken. This sub should put me over the top with a number one registry as the current best set is retired. I think that is what has made me especially impatient with this one.

    EDITED:
    Two months and ten days is the longest I have waited although I rarely sub more than 50 cards with the most ever being 75. I am two weeks away from tying this dubious record wait.

    I'm always curious to know what's in a submission that takes this long. I know group subs often take forever, and I maintain it's due to a wide variety of issues in the sub. My subs tend to be fairly homogeneous - a small range of years and only BB or FB - and they always pop fast. The one exception was a sub I accepted piggybackers on, and it contained both vintage and modern.

    When it comes to subs, I don't think size matters.

    The latest one that popped for me was logged on 12/22. This is one of 6 I have going right now, but this one popped two days ago.

    It was just a bunch of 1952 Bowman (35ish) under the #2 special for December. I believe that the easier the cards are to get past the spec/verification department, the faster the process might go. Since all if these were the same year, I'm sure that helped with paperwork, etc. I may be wrong, but that explaination seems logical.

    The rest of my submissions that I'm waiting on are a very mixed bag and were received a month prior to this one.

    I have four in process with the oldest being a Oct. CC special logged in 11/1 (55 cards). Taking into account holidays, shows, and weekends...I'm on day 44. If I add back in the week of 12/26 then I'm only on day 40.

    I only check about three times a day...

    These are all modern 1985-1995. Not sure why it takes so long but I've had similar subs pop in a week or two? Seems once a year I get lucky and the rest pop between 40-50 days.

    I agree. A known thief should be banned.

    You must have forgot for a second what you did, to show up posting here. Wow.

    Mine are pretty cut and dry...41 of the 55 are from the same company and year.... another five are from the same company but the next year...... I purposely did not send in obscure issues in hopes of pushing this through a bit quicker (I was wrong).

    Yeah, this is torture. I'm waiting on:

    Total Items: 100

    Total Items: 116

    Last time I had to wait this long, the results were really strong. I'm hoping for more of the same.

    PSA... you're killing me now! 20-Day submission, no poppage yesterday so now we're on to Business Day #24! Tried to check my sub about a dozen times already since they opened almost an hour ago, but this is all I keep seeing...

    Error
    Could not display orders.

    I've got a 45 day sub in as well from the November special... prior to my last 45 day sub (which took 48 business days to pop), I had roughly a dozen 45 day subs pop in 21 business days or less... so I'm expecting the trend to continue with that one popping somewhere around business day 60 image
