FCB Group BGS Submission March 2013 - Post Lists Here

[mredsox89]

Phil's usually pretty quick. To be on the conservative side, I'd give it a week after they pop to get to Phil then to you

I thought about you today when I saw JBJ made the team. We got hammered on the February 20-day sub, hope March goes better. I only have one card, but it's a nice one

Yea, at this point even if they don't gem, I won't be too upset since they've gone up 30%+ since I sent them out. Hoping he gets out of the gate hot and his name stays in the public eye. Advantage of being with the Sox as opposed to a small market team is that he should hopefully stay popular.

I'd pay more to get them graded sooner, haha. Debated just doing a 10 day sub on my own and getting them out a few days earlier, but went against the added cost. Should have gone with my gut

Phil, when do you expect 10-20 day poppage?

Thanks.

I will have dates this week

 

[mredsox89]

I will have dates this week

Great. Hopefully they pop by Friday! I can hope

I hope you're right, but seems a little too optimistic. I'd sure like to have my Bryce Harper Blue Ref back right now. I don't have a ton of confidence in getting a 9.5 based on how we got hammered on February's 20-day sub.

Yea, it would mean that they entered the BGS system by 3/25 which probably isn't the case

Any word [MENTION=1848]masonphillip[/MENTION] on a pop date?

Any word @masonphillip on a pop date?

I'm guessing that's a no.

 

[burke23]

I'm guessing that's a no.

He likely doesn't have it. If history is an indicator, 10 days will be middle of next week, and 20 day will be 2 weeks to the day after that.

Yea, I saw that some month's its been as early as the 6th/7th, and others almost a week later. I was holding hope to at least have the grades before the weekend so I could get stuff listed as either graded or raw, but I don't see that happening unfortunately

I think it partly depends on what day of the week the 20th is. If it's later in the week, I think there is a better chance it logs earlier (less than a week from the 20th). If its earlier in the week, I think there is a better chance it logs a week later (accounting for Phil's time to put the cards and order form together, and mail it off to bgs).

 

[Keyser Soze]

If history is a good indicator, I think it's highly unlikely that they pop this week

 

[RipitRipken]

I hate waiting.....but I also sent in two Almora's so until he's off the IL (which hopefully is soon) I can't sell anything yet anyways.

 

[mredsox89]

Maybe today's the day??? Would mean they got into bgs' system on 3/25 which I think could have happened

 

[Keyser Soze]

[MENTION=1848]masonphillip[/MENTION] -- can you let us know a pop date? Much appreciated

 

[burke23]

That would mean Phil would have had to get the stuff in the mail a day or two after receipt...possible, but that's pretty quick. Fingers crossed you are right

Do they not upload the pop date to your account on their site once they process the order anymore? It's been years since I sent with a regular submission

not with large orders like this...it works differently than submitting an individual order

i emailed my contact today...nothing yet but I would anticipate it is in the not too distant future.

Thanks. That's what I figured cause that's what they usually do with the orders I'm in. But those don't even have a guaranteed pop date, so wasn't sure if it would be different for 10 day, albeit large orders

right - we have our guarantee but the input process is different (I don't have to fill out a sub form...which would be awful)
