Verb1 & Tallmer - PMs sent. Can you please let me know if you are still planning on participating or not?

Thanks!
Derrick

raiderguy10 · June 28, 2014 7:33AM

Alifaxwa2 - package received. You are ready

Hockeycrazy- package received. You are ready

1966cuda - package received. You are ready.

Thank you to all who have participated. There are a handful of small packages that have yet to arrive....but they've all been shipped and they should all be here Monday. If everything goes well I hope to have the package to PSA Wednesday morning.

We SHATTERED my all time high. Looks like we are slated to have 708 items in this submission. That is absolutely great - hopefully it means that PSA will allow us to do another one around the January timeframe. I appreciate you all participating in the submission. I'll post when the package is officially off to PSA. Good luck to everyone. In the past we've swung at about 90% success rate. Here's to hoping we get similar numbers this round.

Derrick

PMKAY · June 28, 2014 7:37AM

Thank you again for doing this.

raiderguy10 · June 30, 2014 8:02AM

EASPORTS - ITEMS/Payment received. You are ready for the submission

AutosforAlex - Items received. You are ready for the submission.

Looks like we have 2 to go. Hopefully they come tomorrow and I can get the box to PSA on Wednesday.

raiderguy10 · July 1, 2014 7:46AM

No packages today.

Allen/Meteoriteguy - PM sent for tracking #s. They were mailed on the 25th - they should have been here by now

raiderguy10 · July 2, 2014 4:47AM

I have everything I need for the bulk submission. Everything is packed up and ready to go. I'll finish the paperwork tonight and the package will be off to PSA tomorrow.

I'll post again when I have confirmation PSA has the package in their hands. I'm sending directly to Veronica for her to sign off on it - so I'll ask that she email me when she signs off.

Good luck to all. Also please subscribe to this thread. Any time there is an update I'll change the title so you can see in the email a brief summary of the update. And please keep an eye out for the next couple weeks - if there are items they deem to valuable to be allowed under the submission I'll need to get input from the respective member if they want to pay the higher price or decline to have the item authenticated (we ran into this for the first time last round). So please watch the title of the thread closely in the following weeks.

Thanks again for your help in getting enough items to qualify.

mschwade · July 2, 2014 6:47AM

Thanks as always Derrick! Happy 4th!

i joined this forum.... joshua961203 from blowout.. can u email me, if u need anything .. JoshuaKimWBC@Gmail.com

i got banned from bo forever... LOL

raiderguy10 · July 12, 2014 1:12AM

Sorry for the long wait between posts. Registered mail takes a bit longer to get there

I have confirmed psa has the package in hand. Will post when we officially log in the system and if we have any items that won't qualify

raiderguy10 · July 20, 2014 6:49AM

Just another quick note. Got an email from Veronica Friday (just checked emails), and she said to expect the subs to log early this week. Here's to hoping

churchiscool · July 20, 2014 7:46AM

i guess no 3 week turnaround this time, everybody stand down

. i expect a longer time frame with the national right in the middle of our sub and business will certainly peak afterward.

raiderguy10 · July 20, 2014 9:21AM

We definitely had record time last go round. As you mentioned with the National I'm expecting it to be longer. My goal was to get logged in before the national, hopefully that'll happen

raiderguy10 · July 24, 2014 10:05AM

I got another update today from PSA. I spoke to Veronica, and it doesn't sound like we will be logged before the National. They've had the package now for 12 days - but she said they are backlogged, and their resources right now are concentrating on next week. She also mentioned they are sorting out what will qualify and what won't - or what they'll need additional pricing on.

Going forward we may need to consider the timing of this second submission. Apparently sneaking in before the National isn't working any more. The timing of the January one really goes well so I think we will keep that. But I'm kind of unsure how to handle the second one and would be open to suggestions. Do we wait until after the National next time? Just stick to one a year in the January timeframe? I'm kind of torn - but like to do 2 a year because one just seems to long in between. So I'd be open to ideas if anyone has some.

churchiscool · July 24, 2014 11:16AM

i say move back a month, january and june?

charrigan · July 24, 2014 11:19AM

Yeah, I'd err toward a shorter winter-summer break than fighting the National.

raiderguy10 · July 24, 2014 11:22AM

<< <i>i say move back a month, january and june? >>

I thought about that too - but typical times we'd get the first sub back towards the end of April....that'd be putting together another one basically a month after the first. Which would be fine with me, but I want to make sure we can hit the 500 mark each time.

basketballcollector · July 24, 2014 12:54PM

If you want to do 2 a year, then I think January and maybe AFTER the National - say mid to late August.

alifaxwa2 · July 25, 2014 12:06AM

I'd say do March and September. What works smoothly in Jan, will work fine in March.

raiderguy10 · July 25, 2014 12:12AM

While that is very true, I am a tax preparer so the Feb to April time-frame is hard for me to do something like this

Nascar360 · July 25, 2014 1:23AM

Will you do a Blue flip with auto grade?

raiderguy10 · July 25, 2014 1:27AM

I don't have any plans on adding the grading to the bulk submissions. They'd run more money as well.

raiderguy10 · July 25, 2014 11:30AM

Semi good/bad news. Sub #1 logged in today. Bad news is in receive hold status so I'm sure there are some items they are questioning. Maybe that's a good sign the others log Monday or Tuesday, fingers crossed

charrigan · July 25, 2014 11:36AM

Which one was Sub #1?

raiderguy10 · July 25, 2014 11:38AM

Sub 1 is half of the cards. Sub 2 is half the cards. Sub 3 is tall boy items like over size cards and index cards

EAsports · July 25, 2014 11:39AM

<< <i>Semi good/bad news. Sub #1 logged in today. Bad news is in receive hold status so I'm sure there are some items they are questioning. Maybe that's a good sign the others log Monday or Tuesday, fingers crossed >>

Probably my damned Alex Ferguson card.

raiderguy10 · July 25, 2014 11:42AM

Lol we will see next week

raiderguy10 · July 28, 2014 8:07AM

The second sub of cards logged today. They are also in receive hold status, but maybe we will be lucky to get the log days pre national yet

raiderguy10 · July 28, 2014 9:08AM

Last sub has logged - also in receive hold status. But All 3 are logged before the National - which is good. Next post will be which items they need further info on so watch for that in case you need to respond.

peafour · August 4, 2014 1:39AM

Have they gotten back to you with the cards they flagged, yet?

raiderguy10 · August 4, 2014 1:50AM

Not yet. Veronica told me it'd be after the national, so hopefully this week. But at least they are logged so our clock is starting regardless

peafour · August 4, 2014 1:53AM

Excellent, thanks! I wasn't sure if them having it started the clock, or if it would start after we knew what was holding it up.

raiderguy10 · August 4, 2014 4:25AM

My understanding from talking with Veronica is business days is started on the log date. It's too bad it wasn't received date as they had the items 13 days before logging them in

raiderguy10 · August 5, 2014 5:46AM

I just got an email from Veronica for items that need to be addressed. Here are the items they are questioning. Please understand I'm just the messenger and how they came up with some of these is beyond my control. But keep in mind that ever for these higher rates most of them are still discounted compared to the regular grading fee so it's still a good deal regardless. Below are the additional fees that would apply if you'd like your item authenticated. Please lmk ASAP so I can get back to PSA and we can keep moving forward.

I broke it out for individual items and then the total remaining due if you'd like all of them done.

churchiscool · August 5, 2014 6:37AM

how many days is the sub supposed to take? i just find it funny the clock is starting but if it's early or later than the eta we can't do anything anyway so doesn't matter to me when they log it in. my expectation has always been around 3 months for when i send the cards to derrick.

raiderguy10 · August 5, 2014 6:43AM

I'm guessing mid to late September. But that's purely a guess. I'm sure it depends how much they have on their plate from the National. But they technically have 60 business days (not including the National days or holidays) to process it.

churchiscool · August 5, 2014 6:54AM

60 business days...HALLOWEEN it is!

hopefully all treats and no tricks...

alifaxwa2 · August 5, 2014 7:08AM

I guess the trade off on the $10 rate was they started policing these over prices items more than they had in previous submissions.

raiderguy10 · August 5, 2014 7:23AM

Maybe. But the fee on most of my guys is $75, so I'll gladly pay $45 instead of that

$35 extra for Norm Ullman, minor star who is prolific and free TTM? Uh, sorry PSA.

DanBessette · August 5, 2014 9:36AM

Brandon, that's a crazy list of autos you've got there!

I thought it was 20 business days.

The last time I sent in 250 autos they got it done in 12 business days.

raiderguy10 · August 5, 2014 10:19AM

That's what they say is their estimated time. But with this many items that won't happen

hockeycrazy · August 5, 2014 9:44PM

Hi, No to all for Hockeycrazy. Thanks, Dave

raiderguy10 · August 5, 2014 10:29PM

charrigan · August 6, 2014 3:23AM

Perhaps it is me being grumpy guy, but I have been thinking that we might be better off by bulk-refusing PSA's requests for added money for minor stars. It seems like a clear money grab. If we decline, they get nothing; not the added fee or the original grading fee. I understand if they have the policy they do for Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby, etc., but some of these don't make much sense at all. None of this is meant to be a dig on Derrick, who absolutely does us all a service by running this, or really even PSA, who I understand to be running a business. I just think the proper "market response" might be to say no. What good will a $10 group sub be if they decide to up-charge for more and more folks?
