If anyone wants to do sub with new PSA special, I can do SMALL one! Ad Adendum!

So which one is the April Fool's joke? That PSA already graded the cards or that they're lost? Or both?

That they graded higher than expected.

I got a call yesterday they destroyed one of my cards taking it out of the holdver, so anything is possible

Both were jokes. Grading is not complete. Package was not lost.

Now I'm disappointed and relieved. Well done! I'll go back to hoping we'll get them by the summer.

There is a bit of unintended tranquility in that April Fools' prank. (Well done, Bobby!!)

Everyone's visceral reaction of, "NO EFFIN' WAY!!!!!!!! THEY LOST MY FRICKIN' CARDS?????????!!!!!!!!!!!", will now be replaced by a feeling of being extremely fortunate that nothing went wrong. The end result? When the cards do finally come back with waaaaay lower numbers than they should've gotten, we will all be able to accept it more easily, as we'll just be happy that they didn't lose our stuff. A little pre-easing of our pain, if I may 'Field of Dreams' it.

I just had fed ex lose a package, first time for everything! The say I signed for it, meanwhile I was out front at the specified time. Never had issues with usps.


We have an over/under yet on poppage?

Before June.

From what I'm hearing, PSA is going over on their turn around estimates for vintage subs by about 2 months. I seem to recall that these were quoted with a 65 day turnaround (which translates to 3 months as they only count business days). So maybe 5 ish months total if they're keeping up that pace? Hopefully it's sooner, but that puts these at late July if accurate.

Still in grading. I predict July as well.

One thing I am noticing is that submissions seem to linger for longer at some of the late stages. My previous experience is that QA1 and QA2 used to go pretty quick. Maybe a couple of days, or a week at most.

The last couple of large(ish) vintage submissions that I submitted have lingered for multiple weeks at each of those stages. Maybe there was something that went wrong with my submissions that was unique to just my pieces, and they had to fix it. Or maybe those processes are just a bigger bottleneck now.
