<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1178668, member: 66&quot;]Except among us old timers who learned our patience years ago ordering proof sets in February and hoping they would arrive in time for Christmas.&nbsp; Orders from the mint had to be paid for in advance (and the Mint did cash the checks), you couldn&#039;t get updates on your order, and you couldn&#039;t cancel them.&nbsp; You could gripe to other collectors, which did no good, or you could learn patience and accept it.&nbsp; Same goes for waiting for your grades from the TPGers.&nbsp; Your squacking about a 36 day turnaround.&nbsp; Back in 86 to 88 turnarounds of three to four months were the norm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
