[Dx-qsl] Via Buro

That is a fantastic pile of bureau cards. I'll bet your bureau sorter had a much fun stuffing those into your envelope as you did pulling them out.
Did you do bureau requests for those? Were they unsollicited QSLs? Did you do email requests?
Looks like the turn time on those ranges from 12 months to three years on averge.
As a relatively new bureau sorter, that seems to match what I've seen. Some bureaus which are active and dispatch cards with regularity will often process DXpedition bureau cards 12 months after the DXpedition ends - yielding a 12 to 15 month one-way trip time on bureau requests.
Other bureaus ship out once a year or once every two years - the SP bureau is one that comes to mind.
Ahh....Proof that the classic card system is alive and well.
