Sorry if I slowed the sub up. Bobby did PM me when I sent it to him and said it might be over the limit. Anyhow, I paidbthe $12 upcharge a few weeks ago. Doesn't seem like it should have added this much time to the process.

No need to apologize. I should've used the smiley faces or more sarcastic language. I was just busting your chops! I'm glad the card far exceeded your expectations. I suspect the holiday break is what is slowing this submission group down - not two upcharges.

They said that Shipping and Receiving was backed up. And I would go along with that. Except for the fact I had a much smaller order whiz right on past this one while having been previously behind this one.

Is it the modern one that whizzed right buy it, hopefully.

It was a $15 per card order that I had zero to add to. Cause PSA moved the goalposts mid-stream.

Did PSA finally get rid of the "What If?" loophole when an order is sitting in QA2?

A shipping and receiving issues implies that everything is completed except PSA mailing the cards back. If true, why haven't the grades popped? If the cards were merely sitting in a box just waiting for postage, why do we still not have the grades?

I'm not in a hurry to receive the cards, but the shipping and receiving excuse just doesn't make sense to me. I could be wrong.

They won't give us the grades until they have payment, which is automatic when they ship the cards. Obviously they know the grades. The only two grades I know were the ones that got hit with upcharges. That's all I know.

I don't understand this business model at all. SGC requires payment before the submitter ever mails the cards. Then, if there are any upcharges, SGC holds the cards until it receives the upcharge payment.

SGC receiving the funds before the submitter ever mails the cards allows it to use the funds for business purposes. Heck, it could just put the funds in a 4% interest-bearing account and make money. PSA not receiving payment until the end just doesn't make sense to me. Just think of all the lost interest it could earn.

It makes no sense to me either and a lot of people got screwed because of it not long ago with large group submitters.

I'm different than other guys though....I don't spend the money people pay. I hold it in escrow. It's not my money...it's PSA's money. Those other guys are terrible at money management and were spending the money like it was theirs.
