New Poster - Files Failed to Upload

Hello everyone. I just discovered this board and was hoping to get some advice on whether to have some of my cards graded. When I try to attach the files, it says they are failing to upload. I’m trying to do it with pictures on my iPhone. If anyone has any recommendations, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    I just uploaded some pics from my iPhone for the first time a few weeks ago and it worked ok. Maybe you are trying too many at a time. See if you can get just one.

    I tried with one, and it still didn’t work. Thank you for your help though

  • The only other thing I did was crop the photo first. Maybe give that a shot.

    Do you have a scanner? Phone images are often not the best when trying to determine a grade.

    Are you clicking on the rightmost icon entitled “insert an image?” If so, you should be able to just click on “choose files,” select photo library, select the pics you want, and the code will be automatically generated in your post to display them.

  • I just tried to upload a picture on the coin forum and it failed also. Maybe try again tomorrow.

  • Thank you all very much for your help. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow

  • My second attempt on the coin forum loaded the picture. Maybe just try a couple more times.

    This seem like a new forum problem and I have opened a ticket with the developers.

  • I was able to get them on this morning. Thank you for those of you that helped. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate it.

    First suggestion is get the UD Griffey (carefully) out of the brick.

  • Okay, will do. Thank you

    Buy a scanner. LOL

    Get them ALL out of screw downs and into CardSavers!

    All the cards look pretty nice. U.D. Griffey might be a bit off center and the Emmitt card has some chipping that could hold it back.

    The Bonds and Jackson cards aren't perfectly centered but look amazing.

    Nice looking bunch of cards.

  • Great to hear, I just ordered the card savers now.

    Aikman has a corner issue on the back and I see a white spec on the front on the top right.

  • Thank you for the evaluation

    Examine the corners on the 89 UD Griffey under a strong light and at different angles to see if the screw down changed the surface texture by compacting the paper. The card stock was pretty thin that year so you might not be able to discern any damage by looking at the edge alone, but differences in the surface texture under light and at differing angles should bring any damage to light if it's there. That type of defect can get you an N-5 altered stock designation and therefore no assigned grade.

  • I’ve heard that back hologram missing/damage is an automatic deduction on upper deck. Can anyone confirm that?
