Thanks, Bobby. Does mid-July sound about right?

I sent in a vintage order of 70 cards for this same special on Feb 27th. It moved to 'Grading' yesterday. Will follow along in this thread to see how things are moving, and if I get any updates, I'll try to remember to post them here as well.

I'm hoping sooner but who knows anymore.

Seems like the good folks at PSA have slowed down of late. Modern stuff flies right through. But my vintage pieces are languishing. For example, my submission from October just recently landed at the assembly phase. I’m guessing I still have another month or two. So 6+ months seems like it could be par for the course for vintage pieces at the bulk submission level.

I have heard this from other submitters as well. It begs the question if PSA is using different graders for different eras......

My experience suggests that they are indeed. And they staffed up heavily to handle the huge volume on the modern side over the last couple of years. Now that modern submissions have dropped dramatically, modern submissions seem to be moving quickly.

For example, I had a modern submission at the economy level that was about a month door to door. Just sent it in January, so it’s pretty recent history.

Every time this post get bumped I get excited, then I get disappointed.

Also, popping onto websites at 3am on April Fools day leads to shame and disappointment.

I'm being straight up emotionally whipped by this thread.

A little bit tin foil hat on my part, but nonetheless...

SGC has been making a huge move on later 2022 and recent 2023 releases to take advantage of PSA backlog and establish themselves more firmly in the ultra-modern market.

SGC has run some really consumer-friendly promos on the newer stuff lately. Their 2022 Bowman Chrome special was a huge run for $9/card.

PSA is still king of volume by a lot, but SGC wants a bigger piece.
