I don't think I have 5 cards waiting in my "worth $50 to grade" pile anymore

Bob Ross · 02-22-2022, 12:13 PM

I was 1000ish today and it just said full when it got down to 500, so they clearly gave everyone 50 and most of us got screwed.

The Accountant · 02-22-2022, 12:14 PM

Frustrating. Barely missed thanks to the screw up.

Boostedwrx · 02-22-2022, 12:15 PM

I was 700 and didn’t get in. I assume from these 50 allocations?

epatmythes · 02-22-2022, 12:15 PM

Full, didn't see where it was when it ended...

Oh well... try again on Thursday!

rngrdanny22 · 02-22-2022, 12:16 PM

I got my 50 submissions. I was like #800 and got in.

zworykin · 02-22-2022, 12:16 PM

Yeah, got a feeling there are a LOT of angry Tweets incoming...

nepd · 02-22-2022, 12:17 PM

1500ish... queue stopped at about 800 left for me.

Knowing that all the people won't use their 50 cards, have to wonder if it was a sneaky way to catch up

PSA2Pac · 02-22-2022, 12:17 PM

Lollll no way they meant to send out 50 packs

zeus22 · 02-22-2022, 12:17 PM

That's gotta be a data entry error. Not sure how you go from 5 to 50?

STLtoMN · 02-22-2022, 12:19 PM

every single event ive been 5K+... this is pretty frustrating

I was at 1400 easy allocation and I got the dreaded event full at 800??? What’s up with that?!

Read the thread. Folks got 50 subs each and ate up all the allocation

Woodsy074 · 02-22-2022, 12:52 PM

Sounds like someone messed up a mundane detail and put the decimal point in the wrong spot or something...

montej1695 · 02-22-2022, 12:58 PM

Well i struck out last few events, and now i get a 50 allocation this time???

So typical, lol.

rngrdanny22 · 02-22-2022, 01:01 PM

I'd bet the 50 allocations weren't a mistake.

1. It will possibly allow them to catch up and/or stay on time with these. They know most people that got the 50 card allocation won't use the whole thing.

2. Those that got the 50 card allocation today aren't supposed to qualify for any more until they've used the whole thing. If they are out of the running, that should improve your odds on the next drawing. It could be a way for them to try and get more people allocated over a period of time.

pachyderm · 02-22-2022, 01:07 PM

I wish they would have had allocations of 50 from the start. I would have saved a lot on return shipping if I combined my orders. It is $46 to send 5 cards back to Canada.

Agreed. I think they're trying to figure out how many cards are actually out there at $50/per that are waiting to get slabbed, and seeing the % of these 50 card allocations that actually get filled will probably help with that.

There's no strategy here right? Like you're just waiting for the countdown to hit 0 and then it automatically sticks you somewhere in the line?

I've gotten in all but one, and I pull up the website right at, or shortly after, 11:00 AM. I just figured the first ones in are the first in line.

PepperDean · 02-22-2022, 01:29 PM

Does anyone know if you can use your allocation for multiple subs? like 30 regular grading and 20 dual service? the system isnt letting me make multple, but maybe it will after I hit submit on the first?
