Btw, the line froze while I was #47 in the queue and then refreshed that I had been awarded an allocation.

You can submit fewer than 5 cards, if you'd like. The allocation is for up to 5.

Curious if anyone NOT get an allocation.

Got mine. Not the smoothest experience, but I'm not going to complain. This seemed like their live test of the lottery. Hope they work out the kinks when Regular goes live next week.

This guy, but I also didn't jump in until 20 minutes ago.

Do you have a paid PSA membership?

Ah ok...I was testing it out just to see how it was and got the same message you got. Looks like they've reached the amount they wanted to give out at the $50 economy level.

Going forward, I can't see them doing this for bulk/value orders unless they are fine with opening all these small packages of 5 cards where the value to them is $100-125 (if at $20-25 level). Seems like a lot of processing work on the front end for the folks receiving packages at PSA. In the past, they seem to want to get away from small orders when they were pushing folks to go through group submitters.

Hoped in like with 1500 ahead of me an hour ago and got my 5 in. That's a win for the day.

f2tornado · 12-22-2021, 02:31 PM

I got my five. It got the not eligible message from my phone but it worked fine from Chrome. Looks like I gotta submit by 01/06/2022 09:00 PST.

49erRCCollector · 12-22-2021, 02:32 PM

I got my 5 spots but I jumped in line without reading the fine print. What's the price per card?

Economy (5 cards max) $50 per card, DV max $999, 3 months door to door.

hauntedcomputer · 12-22-2021, 03:04 PM

PSA hiring away HGA's lottery guy was a bold move.

pachyderm · 12-22-2021, 03:07 PM

I got my 5 card allocation. Now I have to look through my stack of 2020 basketball base cards to see what to submit.

Pretty f'n annoyed they used instagram to announce this instead of sending an email.

HalfNipponese · 12-22-2021, 03:16 PM

I took screen shots of the different stages. I'll post them in a separate thread so this one doesn't get cluttered up.

messier2 · 12-22-2021, 03:17 PM

I just randomly clicked on the link from twitter and they just allocated me 5 cards...no waiting on line?!

Ok, I'll take it!

I just happened to be on my card account when it popped up. Which 1991 Score Football cards should I send in.

Honestly, I'm not sure I have 5 cards to send it. 2 I can think of off the top of my head, but not 5.

BRob1 · 12-22-2021, 03:46 PM

i’d be curious to know how many cards they took (they obviously aren’t going to tell us). seemed pretty easy though on the second queue.

I entered the line, went outside for 15 min and talked to a roofer i have out (don’t ask) opened it back up and it rapid fire counted down to zero and gave me my allocation.

now the race is on to actually get them mailed in. i’ll be at the PO this afternoon

pfft.... need to be a paid member to get an allocation.

KhalDrogo · 12-22-2021, 03:58 PM

Already dropped mine off with FedEx. Should be there tomorrow morning. Threw two Express Crossovers in there to make sure the package gets opened quickly.

What cards are you sending in? I'm trying to pick my 5 and I just can't decide. The $1000 in declared value limit really opened things up for me.

Good lord. That was fast. I'm still in pondering mode.

I just ordered a raw card on eBay to submit. I hope it arrives by 1/6...
