Well some of the cards were as nice as I remembered. And some well I missed something on lol. As a 76 collector the Eck is a beauty to me. Hard to find one with this nice of centering and printing. Those dang rough edges bring it to an 8 but I will be keeping that in my 76 set. The others in the first picture I think are all strong 8’s. I can’t see why they gave me a 6 on my Rice rc. I think that was harsh. Looks like a 7 or 8 to me but oh well.

I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

Like that Eck
Nice hit on the Pops! The Eck looks great too. Looks like a successful submission. Congrats.
Some nice hits. Popped a 10 on Pops big-time congrats.
Nice sub! Ryan’s are sweet. Congrats.
dang t/b centering on the Sweetness rookie got ya, but still a very nice looking card...congrats
Dawson and Molitor/Trammell are both super sharp.
Yeah baby!!!
Nice pops for sure.
Really nice RC HOF cards that are dead centered.

Very nice assortment of studs!

Wow!
Thanks for the positive comments. Means a lot to know fellow collectors thought those cards were nice as well. Some times I think I overvalue my own cards. I think we all do a little. And when we don't get the grades we hoped for, it hurts the pride a little. Anyway, I got the grades I expected on all but the Rice rookie. I have no idea how that card isn't a 7 or 8, but oh well. It's only one card. The top 5 and the Payton will all be staying in my PC. I really like them all. The rest I probably will sell to recoup grading costs.

Beautiful cards, Jeff!

Jeff,
That Eck you got raw was posted raw in the pickup thread a while back? I remember thinking that card was incredible.
And that LT rookie is quite gorgeous. What a card!

You will love having LT in your collection ! I got it from a grocery rack pack from Steve in the last group break here. RIght on top !!! I never would've opened it, but the seem on one of the other cells split on delivery from bbce. I sure as heck wasn't gonna complain that I "had" to open it with a centered LT staring at me, haha.

Beauties!
“I may sell the others to pay for my grading fees”…
100% understand. I just wish that statement never had to be made.
Call me old-fashioned, but they just don't make cards the way they once did. Those are some beauties.
Awesome cards! The 10 on "Pops" is outstanding!
Me too and it seems like it's only going to get more difficult. This sub was 1400 worth of grading fees at $9 per card. I got lucky with this sub that I have a lot of options of what I can sell to pay off my grading fees and still keep the ones that mean the most to me. Once it's double that or more, if you aren't very good at picking the cards to get graded I could see needing to sell all of your best cards just to pay off the fees. At this point in the game it seems from a financial standpoint to be better to just buy the cards you want, but part of collecting is the excitement of searching for that perfect card, and I get more enjoyment out of being the one to find it and have it grade a 10. So the Pops will probably always be in my collection until I give it to my son.
