Today I rummaged through files, visited my PSA Set Registry account, and found many (but not all) of my old PSA submission forms. (PSA didn’t archive at least two of them.) Seeing as how we are all now facing 6-8 months (?) of wait time for regular and bulk submissions, it makes what I saw close to 20 years ago really seem to be “the good old days”. The number of days shown were calendar days from when PSA logged them in until cards were put back into the mail to me.
