I want to....but I really don't wish to have 5 or 6 floating around out there. I'll have to buy some manilla envelopes and get more organized than I currently am. The old PSA....hell yea.......this new, slow as molasses PSA.......mehhhhh.

[lowpopper]

A bulk order I sent in around the same time just came in the mail...if that's any kind of useful reference.

[bobbyw8469]

I finally have the ability to review the order and I see the cert #'s. We are close!!!

[Golfcollector]

Wow 8 months time frame on a bulk order.....

It's gonna get worse. Next year we will be begging for 8 month return times.

[cubman1941]

Yup, we still have the May submission out there.

The May one JUST logged in after they sat on it for almost 3 months.

I have some cards I want to get graded but no way I want them gone that long

I have to renew my membership to do that too, I wonder if the free CC submissions are any quicker?

That would be quicker. Not super duper fast, but not thrown to the back of the line and treated like steerage.

Funny you say that. The Iron Man Joe McGinnity I sent in was a Christmas present for my oldest. I never actually saw the raw card as I had it sent directly to do the sub (thanks Bobby for fitting me in!). So, since Conner never saw it and probably forgot it was part of his Christmas, it will be like Christmas when it arrives. I'm trying to decide if I should just causally wait and include it in his Christmas '20 pile.

I really do appreciate the opportunity to be a part of these group submissions. I have a '48 Musial, a '54 Bowman Mantle, an autographed '54 Kaline, autographed '57 & '58 Brooks Robinson and a shiny Garritt Cole x/x autographed rookie that Conner wants to get graded but I think that they will exceed the value of the large submissions. If there is ever a higher dollar one that goes in, please let me know and I will jump on that opportunity.

[lowpopper]

Bobby,

If there is an issue with any of the cards, please don't report an error. That will cause a MAJOR delay due to the current state of affairs over there. PSA will fix anything for free after you get it.

[bobbyw8469]

Now is the chance to review your cards and make sure PSA got them right. I checked over them, but a second set of eyes never hurts.

[BruceinGa]

Mine look good.

[teza11]

Bobby,

Mine look fine, but I do see someone else's card noted with "report error". To Greg's above comment, is this going to further delay the pop date or can this be resolved by the card owner at a later date?

No card has an error reported....that was where the cursor was when the spreadsheet was created.

[bengineno9]

Mine are good.

[The-Cardfather]

Mine look okay, as well.

[mullings]

Remember the old movie Lassie Come Home? I looked at the spreadsheet and there were my cards at the top of the list. Lassies' coming home.
A huge thank you to to you Bobby!!

LOL....I was thinking more like Cast Away.......as far as time frame goes.....but apparently this is the new norm.

I don't agree with this statement. Yes, they will fix it for free, but why wait an additional 8 months to fix an incorrect label that is not the submitters fault? The extra time to fix the label isn't THAT long. Put yourself in another persons shoes. If it was YOUR card that the label was mucked up on, would you want to wait an extra 8 months, just to get the correct label on it?? You have already waited 8 months. In all honesty, the extra wait is HELPING your card's values, not hurting them. The card market is EXPLODING.

[BleedinBlue]

Mine look correct

I’m in those shoes daily. PSA will send a free shipping label for a mech error.
Turnaround time is quicker since it skips RID and grading. Hope there’s no errors anyway.

[Goudey77]

All good on my end. Thanks Robert!

[swarmee]

Yeah, the theory being that you're providing a service to 50 or so people. Delaying the 48 orders for the 2 that happen to have errors is a little overkill, especially since those two owners can get it corrected themselves for free. There is no expiration date for mechanical errors, and they get taken care of fairly easily.

By the way lowpopper, it looks like a former GAI grader has decided to put diamond certified stickers on high end cards. Is Purple Label still operating?

Maybe I think a little different. It is not THAT much of a delay.....maybe an extra week or two.....compared to someone being pissed off because there label is incorrect and having to wait 1 1/2 years to get it fixed.

[swarmee]

Well, I appreciated the time you did that correction request for two of mine in a group sub a couple of years ago.

[The-Cardfather]

Just thought that I would chime in......

I just got back a submission for a "mechanical error" (mislabel). It took about two and a half weeks from the day I sent it, to the day I got it back. Not too bad considering the state of things at PSA.

That's good news....at least it doesn't take 8 months like the grading.

[tab]

My cards look correct

Last call.

Looks good! Thanks Bobby

Yup we're all good 3 years strong. Is there a thread discussing the new sticker?

LOL.....is someone certifying the sticker? Can I be the guy that certifies HIM?

[lowpopper]

How are we looking? Lots of movement on my orders.

That's great, how many cards have you put one of your stickers on? I have never seen a single card with one of your stickers on it in the market for sale.

There should be somewhere around 1000 stickers out there. A 61 mantle just sold last week on ebay auction.

9 months! It's like adding a new member to the family. Overall I'm very pleased having no grading exceptions and over half of the 25 cards I submitted taking Top Pop or Tied Top Pop.

Thanks again Bobby for coordinating this.

It did seem like a pregnancy, didn't it??

[swarmee]

Some interesting cards in there. Both Tattoo Orbits were considered fake by PSA. Wonder where those came from, or if they're real and PSA just didn't know?

Haven't seen an N3: Evidence of Recoloring before. Very few overall ungraded cards due to alterations, so that's a positive.

[lowpopper]

Spoiler Alert: I won.

I think I got like 30 10's

Was that your Kobe rookie that got the 10???? And was he still alive when you sent it off??

[lowpopper]

Wow who got the 10 on the 1953 bowman??? That's impressive
