Submission Timing

clackamas · August 2, 2002 4:10AM

It seems as though I always submit right before some big show and all the graders take off. It never fails, this time ANA. How many shows a year to the graders go to? Its too many.

They go to every major show I belive.

I never considered this when planning submissions before. Is this still relevant?

I've noticed a 'frustrating' turn around time when the big shows are going on. Graders out trying to drum up business I suppose. Just another tick we have to live with.

How on earth did Clackamas get banned?

It's not really "drumming up business". The marketing people are separate from the graders. They do walk-through grading at the big shows.

He's probably just using the photo as a logo.

He was last logged on in 2013 according to his profile. He was a hunter of registry-quality moderns, not someone I would expect would get banned.

Interesting. Of course, if we didn't notice he's been missing for 5 years...

Connecticoin · October 23, 2018 6:21AM

lol I think the only ones we would notice missing would be Laura and TDN, maybe RogerB too

I think we need a graveyard page... Then we could check on all departed members - be they banned, or not posted for two years (arbitrary period)....Then if they returned, active status restored....Just a convenient page to check member status when looking for someone. Maybe not... Cheers, RickO

silverpop · October 23, 2018 7:22AM

he is banned , seems he got the notice of the mods which is not a good idea to do

Only if you know the type of coins that the show graders like.

Forget the turnaround time on submissions, the turnaround time on this thread was 16 years!!!

Fear the Walking Thread.... Once it bites you, you have no chance.

I’m guessing @Aspie_Rocco accidentally went to the last page on the forum and started replying to the threads as if they were all new.

Posted through AOL so that's about right

Yeah, lol, I was just looking for “fresh” topics poking through page 5,000 something last night.
They even said in that Monte Python movie
“Bring out your thread... bring out your thread”

Aspie_Rocco · October 23, 2018 1:56PM

I apologize for bringing up old threads everyone! I never saw a rule against this activity. I was not trolling.
I was honestly getting tired of the multiple member popularity and related threads clogging the front page. I respect all the members here and I am happy they are back. Multiple threads were locked for similar topics and more kept coming up. So I looked in the past and brought out old chestnuts. I AM SORRY. PLEASE STOP MAKING COMPLAINTS about me to moderators! I will try to learn and write down all the unwritten rules some of you folks have.

I was going to say that there are no rules against it and if there is an old gem that can be dusted off and replayed, why not? But complaints?? Maybe I need the list of unwritten rules, also.

How many times do people advise posters to use the search function to look through old threads. And what if they have a follow-up question?
