A New TPG

Anybody ever been to Slab City?

I haven't but my bat sheet crazy former neighbors went there for a couple months 2 or 3 years ago. They said the place was way too crazy for them and that is saying a lot. There was a guy who would burn down your place if you would get into an argument with him and they said he would pick fights with anybody he could. New people would get their stuff stolen. Sounded like the typical bum camp to me.

Three posts into this thread and the unverified rumor mill has already started.

At least it sounds authentic, although your stay might be trimmed.

I just sent them a group of raw cards to be graded. I'll let you know how I did when I get them back.

They said turnaround time is about a year and a half, as they are already incredibly backlogged. Hope it's worth the wait.

It’s their donkey that’s backlogged. The Post Office is 87 miles away.

I heard that the reason they're backlogged is their set registry has really taken off.

Their set registry did take off, but was promptly intercepted by a hostile PSA drone.

Have we cracked the code? Is this really PSA's new HQ?
