Got an email with tracking yeasteday and it looks like mine are coming USPS and left at 6 am this morning. Can't wait for the package to arrive. Just like a little kid at Christmas........oops this is my Christmas present from my wife.

I paid for my winning bid last Monday and still have no card or no tracking number why does it take so long with these auction houses plus shipping is outrageous in the first place this is the first time I have bid with a large auction house is this normal?

Heritage has outstanding customer service. Just call their 800 number and speak to a friendly rep. Now, Im sure everyone has a different situation as the type of payment matters along with what the value of the order is. I tend to allow a little more time when a HUGe auction ends! There was over 5 thousand lots and over 1 thousand winning bidders! That has to be a logistic nightmare for their shipping department!

I called them to let give permission for them to break up my order by size. I won some panoramics and sport cards. This should make it easierfor them to package and ship.

HA's last auction was a game changer IMO, and a clear shift as power to who is the new Big auction house is in the sports market. Sothebys only wants high end lots of 15k and higher amd HA is willing to take anything from 100.00 up to 100,000.00. Great hire by Chris Ivy when they snagged Derek Grady and Pete Calderon!!!

I met Derek at a show great guy I consigned my Cobb with him for there next auction

In my experience my first purchase at every auction house usually takes the longest. I'm not sure how you paid, but I've generally assumed it was to make sure the payment was completely kosher since they didn't have a history with me. Heritage also has minor Sunday auctions as well so I'm sure that doubles up their sports department. As for "the norm", sometimes I get auction winnings in three days. Sometimes three weeks. Payout is the same. As long as it arrives at my door step or bank account I'm cool. I know it's a process.

My E121-80 Frank Baker cards arrived today. Shipping and timing was about what I expected. Also got a nice collectibles book as a fift from Heritage. My collection is hard to add to as it is so specialized but if Heritage had something I wanted, I would bid again. As someone said before, their only drawback is the sales tax thing but guess that is the price we pay for living in a civilized country.
