It is (calendar) day 75 of my submission of routine stuff-regular issue cards from the 60s and 70s. I know it will pop today. Please please please.

    Best of luck to you on that one. I'm still waiting for my April sub to pop.

    April! I guess I need to continue to be patient for at least two more weeks.

    April order popped last night. Shipped April 25, arrived April 27, logged May 6, popped August 19. Out of 68 items, I found 9 mech errors. Hopefully I can have them pause the order and correct the mistakes before it ships to save some time & trouble later.

    Good luck with that as it's already packed up and really they just don't have interest in saving you time as you can tell from the length of your order. Were the grade fulfilling at least?...or did they stick you there too?

    I'm hoping if I call right when they open, I might be able to get the order fixed, since I remember reading that Tom (tsalem) has pulled that off w/ success before.

    Typical order results in that most were as expected, a couple nice surprises, a couple a little lower than expected, but also a few more N9's than I thought I might get too.

    I called in time before it shipped. Mech. errors to be addressed before shipment. image

    I hate to be a downer, but this frequently means that it's going to be another 2-3 weeks before your order actually ships. Sometimes they fix the mech. errors that day, but sometimes your order gets shelved until someone decides to take some initiative and fix it.

    Figured as much, but I don't really mind since I'd rather they just arrived correct on the first go instead of having to ship them back again.

    Happy to report that the errors have already been fixed on the grading report and they called to say it was shipping. I'm very impressed that it only took a couple days to fix these mistakes even though the order took so long to be processed in the first place. Glad I took the time to really review the list carefully as soon as it popped instead of just focusing on the grades rather than how the items were labeled.


    Just found one in another order I received back in the mail already that had a card placed in the holder upside down, not top vs. bottom but front vs. back. Now that's the kind of mech. error that doesn't show up on the grading report and you need in hand to catch image
