Attachment 362608

Should I do it? Obviously, the only reason I would is because I want the card to be more 'valuable' due to the lack of a qualifier, but I would be annoyed if it came back as a lower grade (which is always a possibility) and/or possibly graded with an OC qualifier instead, because I just realized it is somewhat uncomfortably close to the bottom (and left) border.
Yes do it

I'd consider it, but SGC just ran a special on our page. And the wait time is just shorter.

But thanks. Maybe next time.

Knock on wood. I decided to crack it out and it literally took one swipe of the panty hose to eliminate the dreaded "STAIN." PSA really has to re-establish their official stain guidelines. Gum residue on the glossy surface of a card (especially if it's very small) isn't a stain. Spilling root beer on my 1984 Topps Don Mattingly is a frickin' stain.

SGC gets nowhere near the money PSA does. Period. I wish they did. But they don't.

We are up to 350.

Maybe we should call psa and get us a discount.

LOL...yea right.......already tried.....not happening.....350 isn't enough to warrant a discount. If we had 350,000...then yes...maybe.

Didn't you contact the member on here that has been called out several times on BO in the trimming scandal? What did he say? I think he still posts on here saying he can get discounts at PSA.

I don't know who you refer to? I do remember one guy saying he got discounts. But I never saw how that was possible. Because they just DO NOT give discounts. That would be like Disney saying you can get in the park for $20. It just ain't happening.

I'm in with 9 cards, hockey and baseball. Thanks for all your updates for past cards

Huck 09-14-2019 09:59 AM
Bobby,

12 cards coming your way. The package should be there on Monday. That is what the postmaster claimed.

Thank you for undertaking this effort.

Has it been extended?

The due date was posted a while back, and if not changed, everyone has had ample time to get their cards in

Agreed....there as always stragglers........

I will admit I got mine sent off later than I had hoped. They arrived today. Thanks for your understanding and for putting this together Bobby.

Just scanned the last few posts quickly to save time, but I think I got the gist of it...Bobby...really nice...huge butt... :eek:

1880nonsports 09-21-2019 10:46 AM
well
 
thanks again for doing this. As for the cutoff - that would all be on you. Think there was plenty of time to effectuate the deal but hey I'm happy however it goes. While an SGC or ungraded guy I'm an OCD guy too - locked into my Tip Top Space set in PSA - no other real way for me to get it done.

The cutoff has come and gone...I just don't want to pull the ship off the dock if some people had a long layover. You get my drift?

nsaddict 09-26-2019 08:58 AM
Have cards been shipped off to PSA yet? I’m already in, was curious as nothing has been mentioned?

Becuase I am waiting on stragglers.....nothing has changed....it is like this EVERY TIME....especially even more so when the order is huge. This one is over 500 cards (biggest one yet).

teza11 10-07-2019 05:39 PM
Hi Bobby,

Can we get an update on this submission? The cut-off date was more than 3 weeks ago.

Thanks,
Jeff

cubman1941 10-10-2019 06:58 PM
Bobby,

Did the ship leave the dock?? Just wondering.

swarmee 10-10-2019 07:24 PM
Send him a PM; maybe he's on vacation. Hasn't logged into Net54 since Oct 4.

cubman1941 10-10-2019 07:29 PM
He probably needed a vacation after this one!!

teza11 10-10-2019 10:02 PM
After no response I did send Bobby an email. He replied that he's on vacation with limited access. Will look for an update upon his return.

Jeff

cubman1941 10-11-2019 04:21 AM
Jeff,
Thanks. It is a well deserved one after this latest one with over 500 cards!!

Jim

bobbyw8469 10-14-2019 06:59 AM
Now I need a vacation from my vacation. Went to Disney during the "off-season". Still a zoo. The cards are in PSA's possesion. NOT logged in yet.

cubman1941 10-14-2019 08:12 AM
I hear that - Disney is always crazy. Thanks for the update.

T_Hamilton 10-14-2019 08:32 AM
Just curious as this is my first ever PSA sub... when should we expect the grades to hit? a week? month? decade?

thanks!

Sounds about right. It was pretty eclectic (as usual), so I'll take the OVER for $5.

You picked the wrong time to go. I was there last week as well. Very crowded, but not surprising. Arizona schools get a two week Fall Break in early October (and have a shortened summer due to the blazing heat and not much to do).
My 1st grader was off from school, so I got to enjoy the busiest, I mean the most expensive...I mean, the happiest place on earth. The past two weeks were literally the worst time to try to go to Disney but it was still worth it!

Anyway, welcome back. I'd like to get in on the next bulk sub you do.

Sure thing!! You are welcome anytime!! I'm constantly buying raw....and we have one Canadian submitter whose cards came in the day I mailed the package out....so there is already cards for the next sub,

As far as Disney, I thought Monday-Thursday wasn't too bad. Friday at Universal was a nightmare, and Saturday at Disney was pretty bad.

I actually forgot about this one. Maybe I will be surprised with a decent grade or two as well. Thanks again for putting this together.

Thanks Bobby.

Psa
 
PSA announced yesterday that their backlog is over one million cards. They are receiving an average of 68,000 cards per week and the backlog is growing.

In Dennis Purdy's article in VCBC , from 1996, he complained about PSA taking 43 days to process a 10-15 day submission.

This is going to get much worse before it gets better.

Wow, that volume is just insane. It makes me wonder about how much time is spent grading each card. If memory serves, in the beginning PSA touted that each card would be graded blind by three different people and then the final grade determined. I question if that is still the case for each card.

wondo 02-17-2020 10:46 AM

My guess is it’s determined by declared value. I highly doubt they’re putting $20 cards in front of 3 sets of eyeballs, if they ever did at all.

We have entered the "grading" phase.....I did have to report a couple of errors PSA seems to have made.

bobbyw8469 03-06-2020 08:18 AM
Either our guys got is right or PSA guys fixed our guys mistakes. I'm voting that our guys got it right. One was an OBVIOUS PSA error, as they called a Sports Car a 400 when it clearly says 404. The other error involves calling the card the right type due to the back (A coupon card - similar to a T206).

What does "in the grading phase mean" from a time persepctive? first time PSA submission for me... so just want to know if I should expect to see grades pop soon or we still have a long time to go.
