Matt,

On June 13, Spence will be at Beckett in Dallas. His company usually comes down a few times a year. Additionally, if you have items for slabbing, they will be ready the same day if it's someone common in their database, sometimes takes longer for some items. If your items are not for slabbing, you'll get your items back the same day, and your results (LOA's or LOR's) will come in the mail usually two to three weeks later (you'll know that day your results (some items take longer), but your letters won't be printed then, you'll get them in the mail).

You can get cards done by Beckett as well the same day. Feel free to come up and join in. It's fun sitting around talking hobby, and a couple of us will go share a meal while we wait for our stuff. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Anything I want slabbed, I usually just save it up for these visits now. I don't like sending items in to either company via the mail. It's not because I'm afraid to lose it as I used to use Registered Mail via USPS when I did and never had an issue, it's just because I'm impatient and don't like the wait times.

Mike
