    Depends how busy they are. Usually a week or two though on the freebies.

    this month might have the quickest turnaround time ever for the 6 freebies, wouldn't you all agree?

    Back in November I got my free subs graded within a week. Normally it goes fast if you send in similar cards - for example all football cards from the same era.

    Why would the sport and era matter when it comes to turnaround times? Different graders grade different cards? I thought one grader did all of the grading for a submission.

    Lately, most subs. have been graded within two weeks.

    Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports

    You should have your cards back in your hands within 3 weeks from the day you mailed them out.

    They usually get those subs done and out rather fast.


    Good luck and welcome!

    I've noticed when I sub modern Jordan stuff for my registry set with 70's football for example it takes longer.

    No, different graders can grade different parts of a submission.

    Note to the OP:

    When using the freebies try and send in cards of higher value, do not waste your 6 free subs on
    lower valued cards if you can.
