The Swinging Sixties - Piggyback Special. Any Interest? GRADES POSTED!!!

[Tyruscobb]

A little bitter sweet. Sweet because I haven’t seen these cards since January 2021, and I’m ready to get them back. Bitter because it’s the last outstanding PSA submissions I have, and will probably have for a while. I refuse to pay $50.00 a card. Also, probably the last group submission Bobby will do for us. Thanks, Bobby.

I am hoping that PSA will eventually open back up. I am 100% in the same boat as you. My raw card collection has EXPLODED. If ever comes the day when PSA runs a special for 1963 Topps with yellow backgrounds, I am ready. I refuse to pay $50 per card. I wonder if we will ever see specials below $10 ever again?

Yea!! Thanks for letting us know. I am looking forward to the 4th of July when we may have these back.

So much for the July 4th prediction. Is Labor Day too much to ask for at this point?

I was cleaning out a desk drawer today and came across this postal receipt. I mailed Bobby my cards on 1/12/21 - 550 days ago.

PSA logged the cards into the system more than 438 days ago.

Meanwhile, more important PSA customers (i.e. those willing to pay more money, such as $50.00 a card), who have only recently submitted their cards, have already received them back.

In mid-April 2022, I submitted a few cards with Bobby, at the $50.00 level, and received them back in mid-June 2022.

This is getting beyond ridiculous at this point.

When PSA received this sub, Alaska and Hawaii weren't yet a part of the Union.

PSA was just a twinkle in Herbert Hoover's eye.

I guess Labor Day was a bridge too far! Anyone taking bets on or before Halloween?

Some people around here take their bets pretty seriously, so I’ll pass on that action.

But my guess would be early to mid November. No promises!

I would think before Thanksgiving is a safe bet. Shoot, I think before Halloween would also be good. We shall see.

QA Check #2!

[Vegas Cards]

Thank you for the update Bobby.

That's a pretty quick move from grading to assembly to QA2, all things considered. Glad to see they're making progress on this one.

I don't think it's just mine. I think they are trying to clear up all of the backlog. This is simply the caboose coming through the tunnel.

[cubman1941]

Thanks for the update, Bobby. My last response mentioned 4th of July but forgot to post the year. Maybe I will still be right.

[Casey2296]

I have 50 cards in that sub that I've nearly forgotten about, its going to be like receiving a 50 card HOF auction lot when they arrive. Thanks for sticking with it Bobby, appreciate it.

[bobbyw8469]

The grades popped during the middle of the night. As soon as my gf wakes up and can put them in a spreadsheet form (minus the certs, thanks to some donkey's butt), I will post them in the thread. Stay tuned.

Only took a year and a half. As usual, if you want to be surprised, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK!!!

"They went up a little in price from the Goudey/T206 Special last quarter, from $8.50 to $9.00"
Taken from Bobby's 1st post.

Ahh those were the days, grading fees below $10
Wonder if they will ever go back to that?

[bobbyw8469]

I see one of two that might cause an issue.

You waited a year and a half for 266 cards to come back to you?

Uhhhh.......I have no idea how to answer this?? Can someone else help?? Maybe he lived in Belize or something.

Anything for a deal. Yes it was a year and a half wait, but we paid $9/card for grading.

We paid it before the shutdown. Back when everything was normal. Before PSA got innundated with a million Pokemon cards. We had no idea it was going to take a year and a half. To be frank, we will probably never get to pay below $10 per card for grading ever again.

Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense. I only submit to SGC so I have no experience with PSA's turnaround times.

1) It was a serious question.

2) Belize is a beautiful country. You should visit. Try the chocolate.

I have visited Belize. That is why I mentioned it.

[bobbyw8469]

Guys....I sure hope this isn't the case, and I am not trying to jinx us, but PSA gave me a tracking number with no activity on it.
