Gauging interest in a piggyback sub!!! GRADES POSTED 1 YEAR LATER!!!

[bobbyw8469]

In light of the new PSA quarterly specials going on, I am testing the waters on a 1959 and older sub. I hate having this many orders out there at the same time there, but if it is going to the 6 months for them to grade cards, then I want to do SOMETHING. Is any of you interested?? The special is $7.50 per card plus the usual $1 for shipping to and from Cali. They MUST be standard size cards and 1959 or older.

Would you be opposed to a obscure free submission?

I like that. Main issues only and no variations. This way it pops before the next millennium.

POP POP POP POP POP POP

I can always find something

[kmac32]

Have a few 20’s cards that could use a slab as SGC will not gradea few cards that I have and PSA has in the past.

[bobbyw8469]

Good deal...we are on, as I got 25 by myself....let's set a deadline, say, end of month???

[NonSportDaniel]

Sports only or is non-sports okay?

[bobbyw8469]

Non sports is OK....as long as they arent too big...

[NonSportDaniel]

I’d Likely be in for thirty cards. Regular non-sports. R cards.

[toledo_mudhen]

getting 30ish together - will mail next week

[MatthewN]

I have 7 cards going in the mail in the next day or two. I'm a first time participant and I appreciate you organizing this!

Hey Bobby - Any updates on the 1959 (and older) submission?

Thanks

[bobbyw8469]

They picked up the package. Still not logged in. Just getting logged in is taking around a month or so (or so I hear).

[bobbyw8469]

Still waiting to get logged in.....man this is taking awhile!!!!

[cubman1941]

Appreciate the update.

[bobbyw8469]

We are officially logged in.,

[cubman1941]

Yea, maybe by Christmas!!!

LOL......seems a little soon all things considering.

[tab]

Any update with this one?

[bobbyw8469]

Still languishing in Research and ID.

[Farm_kid]

Hey Bobby, how are things? I saw were you said you have a handful of submissions out currently with PSA. Just wondering if there was any updates on this one?

I missed out getting in on your most recent grouping. I have some T206. So instead of grading what I had, I bought some more T206 (from some Net54 members also) for the next group submission. Thanks.

By the sounds of it we will be lucky if it's Easter.

Who knows....I got all paperwork filed away in a folder.....when it pops, it pops........I have long learned to have the patience of Job in dealings with PSA.

[BuzzD]

Alright! Tick Tock....

Thanks again, Bobby

[bobbyw8469]

I have ZERO news to report....we are still in R&I. Just didn't want this to get buried TOO much!

[Tyruscobb]

I noticed the value limit was $100.00 for this particular submission special, when it was sent in, back in June 2020. I have recently participated in two submission groups (Bobby’s pre-war one, and the recent swinging 60s one).

Each special has its own value limit. When is the value calculated? Is it at the time the company accepts the money and order, or is it at the time the actual grading occurs?

If it’s when the grading actually occurs, then I imagine a lot of cards will exceed the limit, considering the long delays and the fact prices just keep going up. I hope the grading companies calculate the card’s value on the date the order and money is accepted.

$100 Willie Mays and Hank Aaron cards from May/June 2020 are now going for $300.00. I would not be happy if a card was under the threshold amount when I submitted it, and due to the long delays and crazy market prices, increases to over the value limit and the grading company, more than 9 months after sitting on it, refuses to grade the card because its value now exceeds the threshold.

Anyone know the answer or have any experience with this? Thanks.

And just another query on the 1959 Sub - Been logged in right at 4 months now

[bobbyw8469]

Research and ID.....4 months is nothing, as they are taking 2 months just to log stuff in......the last group sub took 9 months if that is any indicator, and they are even more backed up NOW than they are then.

Jumped to Aug 9th today.

I'm not even in this sub but I always check out of interest when checking on my express submission through date.

Good luck, getting close

I saw that as well. This in unbeleivable.

[toledo_mudhen]

and 1 week later still holding steady at Aug 9, 2020 - FFS (they cant even gain 1 day in a week?)

[Pat R]

I think the backlog excuse is bs when you look at the progress since they
stopped all submissions except the top two services. I think it's something
like they can't get enough holders and for whatever reason they don't want
to say that.

The sub is STILL sitting in grading. It is one month shy from being a year.

Not even a single day of movement of these since 5/13/2020 - WTF!

And to make matters worse Lonnie, two of my biggest cards that enjoyed huge appreciation while they were sitting around collecting dust over at PSA got graded recently. "Min Size Rqd". I feel like I got kicked in the stomach. These are legitimate cards. It is almost like PSA is turning into slot machine in Vegas. They are choosing whether they want to give you a big win or not.

[toledo_mudhen]

Yea - it' totally like a crapshoot anymore.

Remember when we were hopin to have them back by Christmas??

Oddly enough I seem to be getting the itch to send in another 25 or so - to someone - just not sure who atm. Even CSG is saying 4 months turnaround now.

I don't think the graded card market will will be the same ever again. And that saddens me. What a roller coaster the hobby has been on.

[bobbyw8469]

I will be going on vacation soon. I really hope these pop while I am gone.

[toledo_mudhen]

I will be retiring in 18 months and really hoping that these come back before then.
