I am from the Philippines. For us collectors here it was already expensive for me to send my cards through a middle man who consolidated other cards from other collectors. It used to take 2-3 months before our slabs arrived to us before and now we have to wait around 10 months to a year. I was lucky to have graded a few of my high end and base cards before the price increase. Now its just wait and see if things normalize but it seems the current situation we collectors are facing  is an new normal.
