Grades Yet from Latest Special?

TurbosHockey · November 14, 2005 3:10AM

So I was wondering if anyone has had their grades posted yet? I kno wit is early, but I am catching myself checking 3 times a day already at least. (Man I need a life)

Cheers,
Darren

Still waiting on submission from last month's special...

In PSA's defense, it was a 5 card submission, so I can understand why it's taking so long.

I guess I'm just spoiled. I've submitted about 2 dozen times over the last year under various specials, and every single one was posted and in the mail back to me within 7 business days.

My submission was received 11/04 and I am checking a lot more than 3 times a day. I check at least once an hour at work and check at home until 10:00 at night (west coast time is 6:00). I figure if nothing by 10:00, then nothing until the following day.

Guys,

I know the feeling. My last submission was a vintage common 45 business day special and it took them 43 business days, over two months. I began checking after about two weeks and thought it would never get done. I have another on a 45 business day special and it has been 41 business days as of today. I was spoiled too, using this level for a number of submissions the past two years and almost always getting the cards back in 3 to 4 weeks. I can't complain though. They are still making their deadline. If I wanted it faster, I could always pay for the quicker service.

Still checking and waiting daily.

Hey November submitters!

Don't get too excited about quick turnarounds! I have a 33 card submission from 10/10 and a 12 card submission from 10/12 that have not been posted yet!! Things seem to be "slow" all of a sudden considering my last 5 submissions have all taken less than a week. Plus, I sent another submission on 10/18 and it was graded on 10/22.. Go figure!! It's there and back but the two sent in a week earlier are still not done!!! I really wonder what the pecking order is for grading???

There appears to be no pecking order. They seem to throw them in a pile, shuffle them, then take whatever happens to end up on the top. I think they do that with everyday's new submissions.

I sent a 20 card submission on 11/01/05, then a 25 card submission went out in yesterdays mail. I expect a slow turnaround. Most likely I will have a few "presents" to open on christmas morning.

paleocards · November 15, 2005 7:31AM

Not as bad as MorrellMan and glossycrazy, but I too am still waiting on my October '70s Special (11 Topps cards submitted: 10 baseball HOFers from 1970-1974 and a '71 Bradshaw rookie):

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what gets posted when: big, small, one sport, mixed sports...doesn't seem to matter...

Oh well, I'll keep checking every day after 2pm (EST). Does anyone know if PSA posts grades ONLY ~11am PST or periodically throughout the day AFTER 11am PST?

Here is a 10 day submission, that got done in 6 business days. Not patient enough to do a $5/open turnaround submission on such a small submission. Nice little 7 point gain on the Payton Master set (should go to 9.31 GPA).

Paleo,

I have seen grades post as early as 11:00 EST and as late as 7:00 EST.

Kurtman9 · November 16, 2005 1:48AM

Ok I feel better now that I know I'm not the only one waiting...

Morrellman is still in the lead for having to wait the longest for his submission (10/3) and still not posted ... Anyone else still waiting on grades from early October???

My 1950's sub. dated 11/2 just popped. I had both a 1954 and a 1955 Bobby Adams crack and resubmit downgraded to 6's from 7's when I thought they should be 8's. Do they have something against the guy?

smallstocks , submission number?

smallstocks · November 16, 2005 6:17AM

sub. # 582321
zip 10606

Not one of the better subs. I think G.O.D. got this one. Got a '54 Turley upgrade from 7 to 8 and 3 lower level upgrades but also those two killer downgrades. And the brutally tough '54 Buster Mills Evid of trimming

. I also got "evid of trimming" from a cracked GAI 8.5. The other two had gone from GAI 8 to GAI 8 with no problem. Hmmmm.
