Sayin goodbye 2 cards 4 my registry sets & begins 65 days long days

Bishtw

Im working on completing 3 sets right now.

Sammy Baughs Basic
Redskins HOF's
56 Topps Super Set.

Last week i sent off a bulk sub of 398 cards but they had to be valued under $100 so these few weren't included with that sub and I'm just now sending them out.

Im usually a patient person but when my cards are out for grading is the exception lol.
So i wouldn't miss them as much i took a picture of them before i packaged them up.
Hopefully these ones do better than my last submission.

Good luck on your submission. My suggestion to you would be to carry over your patience to your subs. You're definitely going to need it haha

Bishtw

Lol, Spinach, I hear ya and you're definitely right, I'm gonna need it.
I don't know if its the extreme curiosity of not knowing and hoping for high grades or excitement for adding new grades to the registry and nearing the completion of a set but either way it causes the time to drag..

PopeyesSpinach

For me, I believe the time drag is because of how much I have invested in my cards. I'm not referring to the money I spend on them. I'm referring to the time spent searching for that hard to find card or searching for gems in a condition sensitive issue. The cards pretty much become part of me and when they're gone, it's tough waiting for them to return.

Bishtw

Well, I guess it serves me right to complain about waiting 65 days before they even logged (which took almost 2 weeks to log after FedEx confirmed delivery). Here it is almost half a year later and I'm still waiting. 😞

Best of luck Troy.

Turns out we share a player - I'm in the process of working on a few FB player displays - one is Slingin' Sammy.

I'll give ya the whole deal when complete - here's what I have so far:

I can't find the program to put in the background - but it'll turn up.

Love Sammy, and his Bowman’s are some of the best looking football cards of all time, period!

Bishtw

Sammy Baugh is simply the best all round football player of all time. I am a die hard, extremely bias and unapologetic Redskins fan so it maybe just the view through my burgundy and gold tinted sunglasses but I'll argue against that as well. HTTR!!

I been traveling since Thursday and haven't checked the status until I got back today. Finally the peg has moved!!!

Good luck on the Sub!! I’m a huge Bintage Football guy, Slingin’ Sammy has some awesome cards

Grades are in. Nothing super great but I'm happy with the 56T William's and Clemente. Not so happy about the Wayne Millner and Dudley.

Surprised on the Dale Mitchell grade, from your picture it looked the nicest if the ‘56 Topps.

Looks really good in the slab too.
