Just wondering what the input delay for opening packages is right now I sent a package that was received last Wednesday. It contains a reholder order and a bulk submission, just wondering how long it will be before the reholder submission gets input and shows on my submissions

I would assume it would be whatever the lag on bulk is... so 12 days, give or take?

Why would it be the same lag on a substantially faster service as it is on bulk?The package contains 2 separate boxes one labelled reholder one labelled bulk with both submission numbers and customer # on the outside of the separate boxes. Each card inside is also labelled with each individual line # as well it should be a relatively easy input.

I would, again, assume that packages get opened as they are received. Once opened, they get grouped. Also, there might be a substantial lag on reholder service due to volume.

lmao why are you asking us? You do know we don't work there, right?

Call them yourself or tag Ryan from CSG here in the forums and ask him.

So what does that mean for this card. I had a minimum of 60/40 or I couldn’t get an 8. Obviously the rest of it is Gem Mint. So why would it cross over to the new label as just an 8 if all of the centering criteria has been revised?2BB20F54-5F5D-49FD-9734-77290D5F8D63.thumb.jpeg.4ed60dc14885ac2638a32a2dfe9755ab.jpeg

Can you show the back? Is it worse than 75/25?

Having the certification number on the front really helps now.

Honestly, I liked having the cert # on the back. It would force sellers to show the back of the card. A lot of times, on eBay, sellers will only show the front, but with the cert # on back, the seller would need to show the card back for SNAD protection.

A quick check on your Griffey using JRuler - The Left border measures 22 pixels and the right border measures 16 pixels which would put L/R Centering at 58/42 (22/38) - so just under 60/40
