PCGS submissions are a sickness

seanqseanq Posts: 8,735 ✭✭✭✭✭
I had two orders, one economy and one modern, hit PCGS last week, they showed up as received on my order history list on the 19th. Today is the 24th, and I've already checked the status three times. I'll probably check it again one last time before I go to bed tonight. It really is a sickness.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I usually start checking the day I mail it registered. image
  • It's like a college football player (need to specify, a non all American..just an average player/student) taking his final exam, and having to sweat it out just to find out if he can play next semester, or if he's on academic probation for failing that exam, and not able to play. Sickness, no...sickening, yes. (The WAIT is sickening).

    I have heard that one can hyperventilate from overchecking one's submission status.image

    Today is Day 9 and all week I've been compulsively checking for results every hour from 12PM EST until I leave work, then I check a couple more times when I get home for good measure.

    PCGS would probaby save a bundle in bandwidth if they would just move my submissions to the top of the pile. Maybe I'll call customer service and suggest that.... image

    I've got a 6/4, 6/4, 6/5 and a 6/12. So you know I have been checking and nothing so far!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    A watched submission will never grade.

    Usually the sickness ends with a fever spike and a good puke.
