Tempted to try 2 day - jarmll - 10-14-2012
I am SOOOO tempted to see if a 2 or 5 day submission could beat my current 10 and 20 day submissions back to me. Problem is I don't really have a card that would justify such an expense. Waiting on my first two submissions is playing with my mind a bit though.
I sent 13 cards in for the 20 day service on Sep 29, they were received according to USPS on Oct 2, and I am projecting a Trick or Treat on Halloween. I sent in 7 more cards that I had not anticipated buying but found a few on eBay and got a Topps replacement back that I wanted to send the first time had the cards not been so bent up from the factory. I shipped them last week and anticipate them getting back within a day or two of the second shipment because I used the 10 day special this month.
I must say I have learned my lesson. I HATE the anticipation. If it was a week or 10 calendar days I could get through it better but this being my first submissions I wake up thinking about it and check the mail box several times a day even after the mail has gone. I keep thinking the FedEx guy will stop at my house, but he just keeps on rollin down the road right past me every single day.
I sent in some 1970s cards in the 10 day submission and the wait for those and a 5/5 Finest card I pulled are the WORST! Besides those few cards I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what I sent in. I can't wait to get them back though. This is a LONG wait. Thank GOD I did not opt for the 45 day service.

Haha yeah, I think my first 1 or 2 submissions were 45 days and it killed me each time. Now I'm down to 10 days and getting a little impatient with that as well lol.
It's a lot more bearable though if you have multiple orders out at once and set yourself up to always have things incoming a week or so apart.

I don't have enough money to do that in addition to buying any cards. I wish I did though.
