One of these days I will chronicle all the issues with this sub. You could play yackety smacks as the background music. Its a comical tale of miscommunication and back logs. Next june sub is cancelled.

How are you guys seeing what has popped and what hasn't? What am I missing? I wouldn't mind checking to see if any of my cards have shown up.
It only works if you send in cards that are not frequently submitted and note down before hand what is in the BGS pop. report for that card. Then around the time your grades should be ready, revisit the pop report and the "new" grade for that card could be yours.
Not necessarily. If you have a graded card serial number from the sub (found using your method) then you can tinker with that number in "graded card lookup" to see all the cards graded around it. Stuff is kind of mixed up from the sub but I was able to find most of my 10 and 20 day grades this way. Here is the graded serial number for one of my cards: 7806660. Poke around with the last two or three digits and you might find your stuff. I think I found 37 of 40 cards from my collective 10 and 20 subs. I have not found my Topps Ripken rookie yet. Probably a 9 but shout if you see one. It was kinda cool to see a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth graded right after one of my cards. The owner should be happy it was slabbed with a 1.5.
I understand Chris that the overall time may be out of your hands. But this isn't going any better than when MP was doing it and I was hoping to see improvement to get involved. My frustration just from the sideline in previous months and what I think used for those who have been involved in this or previous months is communication. That could just be an update of "haven't heard back, working on it" or something like that 1-2 times daily. There have been days-week where I have seen no response an people hanging. That's where I was hoping there would be improvement when you took over. I do however think it has been annoying for you and would think BGS owes you more than what you have gotten also

You should understand that Chris, and his predecessor Mason, both do this for FREE. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. They don't get any monetary compensation for running the group sub process every month. Therefore, Chris DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU!... Furthermore, it is incredibly naïve to think that because our group subs a couple hundred cards every month that a company like BGS which goes through tens of thousands of cards every month is going to make ours the [URL=http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] priority and that the [URL=http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] priority in Chris' day is to check on the status of our cards....
THEN SUBMIT YOUR CARDS ON YOUR OWN AND QUIT WHINING ABOUT A PROCESS YOU'RE NOT A PARTICIPANT IN. You should understand that Chris, and his predecessor Mason, both do this for FREE. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. They don't get any monetary compensation for running the group sub process every month. Therefore, Chris DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU! Want to XXXXX and whine about communication? Try submitting your own cards and dealing with Beckett, let us know how that works out for you. This may come as a surprise, but Chris doesn't have time to post in this forum 1-2 times a day to say "you're not going to believe this, but I haven't heard anything from Beckett, even though it's a Sunday. Those lazy so-n-sos!!!" Don't like the way BGS works? Then submit your cards to PSA or *** or don't get them graded all together. Furthermore, it is incredibly naïve to think that because our group subs a couple hundred cards every month that a company like BGS which goes through tens of thousands of cards every month is going to make ours the #1 priority and that the #1 priority in Chris' day is to check on the status of our cards. I'm going to venture a wild guess here and say that Chris has other things going on in his life, many of which take prescience and are more important than what BGS is doing with our cards. Would we have liked this month's sub to go better? Heck yeah! But complaining about Chris' PERCEIVED lack of communication is like complaining about the weather man when he tells you it's going to be hot tomorrow. We all made the choice to submit our cards, just like you made the choice to post in this thread when you have zero investment nor involvement and are just acting like a troll. Go get some cheese for your whine and leave the submitting to people who are appreciative of the work that Chris (and Mason in the past) puts in to get our cards graded at an awesome price.
I hope that made you feel big and strong. There is a "perceived" lack of communication and no responses for days throughout these submissions. That is the simplest thing to change to help those who submit frustrations. I think you and most people differ on the opinion that yes, a person running a sub, should make the time, I don't care if its a Sunday or any other day, to drop in and take the 15 seconds to post something, even of its no real details, at least it's showing that aren't ignoring the members. No one is saying they aren't appreciative that the sub is available, however that doesn't mean they are appreciative of that "perceived" lack of communication. I'm glad you beat your chest and protected Chris, of which he doesn't need your help. If Chris had a real problem w/my post he would have let me know. He answered it, and we both moved on w/out issue. We didn't need you to get involved, thanks. If you want to post more, that's fine, there will no response. Thanks for your time

I hope the sub pops soon!!! Sounds liek a bunch of you are getting 9.5s already
So far I have all 9.5 and even a couple 10 but couldn't track down my Ripken yet where a 9.5 would be a gift. Monday is a holiday so I'm guessing the 10 and 20 day stuff all pops at once on Tuesday since it appears most, if not all, cards are now in the pop report.

I thought I read Chris say he does make a little off of this. Maybe indirectly. @cgilmo Do you?
I know for sure that Mason did not and am under the impression that it is the same case with Chris, though I could be wrong.
