<< <i>I feel like PSA gets weird about certain cards >>
I totally agree with this. Maybe they got Seau "training" and are especially wary of fakes? I've been lucky to have a high batting percentage in my last year of PSA/DNA authentication, but ALL of my recent failures have been Vlad Konstantinov, which I still think are good but they disagree. I've seen it a LOT with Trout, too.

Happy enough with mine, the Lewis, Smith, Muller were all TTM that I were pretty confident in. The Gehringer was a crackout of an old GAI slab that I wasn't 100% on, and the Gretzky was an ebay purchase I also wasn't sure about. I'll be exploring a refund on the Gretzky, but it was in poor condition so I'm not out too much if the seller won't work with me.

I agree with Casey. Pretty much have the same reasoning.

Beads, why are you bumping the thread for this SUB? Also, that's the word you're looking for: SUB. Not "flip."
The participants in this SUB were perfectly happy to wait until John tells us the grades have popped. Bumping the thread only gets everybody's hopes up. Please don't treat this thread the way you treated the blue flip SUB thread.
I was hoping that we would have the grades for the second by now since the number grades always seem to pop a few days after the “Authentic” sub, but unfortunately we are still waiting for the second sub to pop. Here are the totals for each of the subs. I was planning on sorting all the cards once I had both subs back but since the second sub still hasn't posted yet I am going to start packing up every ones cards that only had "Authentic" sub cards and will get you a return shipping total early next week.
Authentic sub- 171 cards Sub with # grades- 615 cards Total- 786 cards
Guys, if you peek at John's post that's like five above this, he said he'll only be sending back those with ONLY Authentic slabs now and will wait to ship both together if you had cards in both subs.
There was no way it was going to happen yesterday or today. Almost their entire staff is at the Long Beach Expo. The best you could hope for was Monday (day 20) and I'm not even sure how likely that is. Patience is a virtue.
I sent in 22 '52 Topps along with a Sy Berger, which I thought would be a nice addition to the '52 set. I was very happy that I was 23 for 23.
Below are the two HI #s as well as the Sy Berger.
STAY HEALTHY!

7 vintage Yaz, a Gino, plus a '39 Doerr and Ortiz and Vinatieri?? A man after my own heart! You have GOT to post photos when you get those back! >>
Thanks Dan! I would have responded sooner but I am not on the board very much. I am working on a full run of signed Yaz regular Topps issues. I already had his RC and 61 so now I am at 9/24! I am psyched to get these back although I was a little surprised to see the Gino listed as a 67 Topps. I actually sent in his RC, a 62 Fleer. John thinks PSA must have mislabeled it.

That's a little crazy to mislabel it that badly. Can't wait to see a photo of that one! I'm a Gino super fan, if you didn't know. I've got 9 autos, including his 66, 68 and 69 Topps. And I just picked up a card (I don't actually get it until Father's Day) that will leave me one card short of completing his master set. I'll soon be #1 on that registry. I do have a PSA 7 of his RC, but not a signed one. Again, can't wait to see your cards!
Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the second sub to pop. I’m not exactly sure what day we are on for the sub because I believe it is 20 working business days. I am pretty sure they don’t count days where they are at a show as a business day. I know everyone is anxious, including myself. I will give them a call tomorrow and see if they can give me an idea of when the grades will pop.
Got my cards back last week, been so busy haven't had time to post. This one is my favorite, and I think it's awesome that the last 2 numbers of the cert number are 23! Thanks again John!
We are officially on day 26 of the 20 day sub. I spoke to PSA today and they said that large submissions can take up to an extra 10 days. They assured me the grades would pop in the next couple of days. I did have a small tallboy/oversized sub pop today that I sent with the group sub, so I am confident we will have our grades very soon.
i just want the next post to be john telling us our grades. i don't care about business days and rhyming. sick of these big subs... (until the next one )

Sweet Muller !!!
I know I have my reasons for either subbing with or with out a grade with the red label PSA/DNA and I've done both on previous send ins with John.
What are some of your reasonings for just going the authentic route?
