Contest: Guess When PSA Will Complete My Orders

dsprague12 · 06-10-2020, 07:34 PM

PSA is frustrating as hell, as I know it is for everyone, so I thought I'd at least try to make light of things. I have two bulk orders that have been sitting at PSA since January. One order is 153 cards and has been with them since 1/9/20 per their system and has been in Stage 3 - Research and ID for months. The other order is 435 cards and has been with them since 1/14/20 per their system and has been in Stage 3 - Research and ID for months.

So here's the contest:

The smaller bulk order has multiple Prizm Draft Zion Williamson Base #1s (white jersey RC). Several of them should get 10s. These are currently going for around $100 on eBay. If someone correctly guesses the exact date PSA ships this smaller order back to me (as per what they list on their website), then I will give you a PSA 10 Prizm Draft Zion Williamson #1 (if none of them get 10s, which would be ridiculous, you will get a 9 instead).

The larger bulk order has multiple base 2019 Topps Heritage RCs of each of the Big 4 (Tatis, Vlad, Alonso, and Eloy). If someone correctly guesses the exact date PSA ships the larger order back to me (as per what they list on their website), then I will give you a combination of PSA 9s and 10s (one card of each of the Big 4) that adds up close to $100 in value based on going market rate at the time.

There are no gimmicks or catches. All you have to do is guess -- and then wait along several more months with me. However, there will only be one winner for each order, so if there are duplicate guesses for the same date, I will award the prize only to the first person that correctly guessed that date. To avoid this, I would recommend just not guessing the same date as someone else. If one person were to somehow guess both dates correctly, that's OK, the same person can win both prizes.

Haha... fun.

You don't have to give me a card if I happen to win, but I'll guess anyway...

Great idea to make light of the situation and have fun. I will play along.

Smaller Order: 7/21/2020
Larger Order: 8/19/2020

jscotta1989 · 06-10-2020, 10:47 PM

Smaller 8/13
Larger 8/27

Southpaw21 · 06-10-2020, 11:09 PM

And it was written that on Saturday. 7-11 of the two-thousandth and twentieth year dsprague12 would receive both of his bulk submissions.

tgblackw · 06-10-2020, 11:20 PM

Small order: 7/30
Larger order: 8/7

Thanks for the game.

kidfan9 · 06-11-2020, 12:33 AM

Small order- 7/22/20
Large order- 8/4/20

Thanks for the try

waxxius · 06-11-2020, 06:53 AM

8/31 on both

lbailey · 06-11-2020, 09:51 AM

Small - July 15th
Large - July 30th

f2tornado · 06-11-2020, 01:14 PM

I'll guess small=7/17/2020; Large=7/22/2020.
Hopefully the pace can improve with this corona crap on the wane. I've kind of taken the send it and forget it approach. Some of the stuff has drastically increased in value since I've sent which isn't all bad provided those values hold.

Erikthredd · 06-11-2020, 01:42 PM

Smaller order: 6/26/2020
Larger order: 7/21/2020
If I win, card(s) will be sold and all proceeds donated to the Jimmy Fund.
Op,thanks for the contest and good luck with the grades!

dsprague12 · 07-06-2020, 07:24 PM

A non-update update... Nothing resembling any movement on either order. Both still in Research & ID. My personal guess is October at the earliest for both.

I like the guess of 'never'. They could get shut down, you never know!
