    Will do. If anyone's interested, many of these will be for sale. Just PM me with your interest.

    This marked the end of trying to grade low pop cards. Nick wondered a few months ago if PSA knows which cards are hard. I don't know if they do, but getting miscuts and 7's on sharp cards that happen to be tougher just don't make it worth it anymore. Yeah, I scored with the Javier but I really wanted some of the 63's for my set. I'll just leave em raw instead of submit again.

    Oh, and again the turnaround time was fantastic. PSA has been great all year long with that, much much improved over last year.

    Could that be because the graders have alot less to do nowadays?

    Congrats on those grades Ron.

    Ron, what would you attribute the turnaround time too? less submissions? more graders?

    I think it's a combination of two things: better commitment to customer service and a slow economy.

    I did not wonder from being naive, I phrased it as a question for emphasis. Sort of like asking "Does anyone still want to deal with ArnyVee?" after seeing him continually run into problems.

    After waiting 2 1/2 months to get my last submission back I haven't even considered sending in more cards, but you guys keep talking about the great service??? I waited all that time and they even made a mistake on the labeling. Then I emailed customer service about fixing the label and didn't hear back from them for another 2 weeks. I don't get the "customer service"
