...Don't have the answers and not sure I want to know.

But were you subbing already established cards that had already been graded, or were you subbing unique cards that will be pop 1 of 1's??

My 1962 Mars Attacks set popped in 2 weeks. But every single card was Mars Attacks. I find when the sub is pretty much standard it is easier. When the sub bounces around all over the place with unique cards that they have to add specs for is when it takes awhile.

I would say both. I had one 300+ loaded with
annoying 90s inserts and it was shipped out
2 weeks later. I agree that stuff bogs down an
order so I was totally surprised.

When we do a bulk sub like yours, I try to keep
it plain jane. The weirdo items go in with my
personal orders.

This sounds more like PSA are a bunch of newbies who have no idea how to handle oddball cards or bulk submissions.

Seems to me, if they can't handle oddball cards in a timely manner, then don't allow them in the bulk sub. Although they can pass trimmed cards at a rapid fashion !

Give me any card and I can find the set in a few hours. Are these guys outsourcing to little kids in India? WTF?

Had I known they dragged their feet to double the time, I wouldn't have submitted.

But what's done is done. (I put no blame on our host submitter)

My understanding is that there are less graders who do oddball. If
the intake employee sees anything but plain topps and bowman, it goes
to a more specialized grader. There’s only so many oddball graders to go
around so that causes a backup.

What’s the over/under on these popping before the national?

My experience is that GRADING is the longest of the stages of the submittal process. I would say it ain't no way that the sub makes it back in time, but I am rooting for ya!!!

You'll have these for National 2020. National 2019 will be the Moser Fiasco.

I am aware there is no way they will be physically available
by the national. I was referring to the grades popping online.
