Live Break - Bulk PSA order just arrived in-hand.

Charlie9 · May 9, 2008 2:41AM

I did this a couple weeks ago when I received one of my two bulk orders from PSA and I just got the other one from the Post Office this morning so I'll do a live break. I haven't looked at the results on-line so this should be fun (I hope). I mixed up the sub to include all sports and years so I wouldn't know what to expect next. This will be a slow break however as I'll add some scans as I go if I think they may be worthy of it. Peek in from time to time if you get a chance. All is available for a bit under VCP prices. I'll start after I get the box open (should be about 130 cards total I think.

joeknowscards · May 9, 2008 4:02AM

Nice stuff, I can't tell from the scan but was PSA a little harsh to give you a 5 on that boxing card from 1935? Good centering on the front of that card.

Well that's it. Really all over the place but I expected that. Very happy about some like the 61F PSA 10 and the bump to the 68T Namath but was hoping for a bump on the 67T Namath and better grades on the Bradshaw RC and the Mantle Decals. Some will be sent back for another try but most are probably off to the Bay unless someone sees something they need. Either way thanks for peeking in!
