Considering driving over to Collect-a-Con Charlotte on June 4, mostly because I have some POP Figures I want to get encapsulated by PSA and I could drive them instead of having to ship them. PSA Website advertises a 3 hour rush service which I would be depending on so I can drive 3-4 hours back home in the same day.
Has anyone used this 3 hour encapsulation service with PSA at a convention? Is it actually 3 hours or does it balloon to 6? Do you have to be one of the first people there in the morning because they fill up? Or can you give them a submission at 1 PM and actually get it back at 4 PM?
Secondly, I was wondering about entry into Collect-a-Con, specifically the line to get in in the morning. I’ve been to some conventions that easily let all attendees in the doors, and some where attendees have to stand in line for hours to get in because of bag checks, etc. How has the line for entry into Collect-a-Con worked before? Would getting a VIP ticket substantially decrease the amount of time I would have to wait in line to get in the door in the morning?
