You have to be kidding me...

Check out my latest invoice, 743850. I thought a few had a shot at 9's, but certainally not did I expect 25 of them to receive 9s! Even the George Brett rookie I submitted thought barely had a chance at 6, but it pulled a 7. Sure I got 3 5's and two not holdered due to minimum size, but this is a nice submission I think, over under. The big card grader in the sky was with me on this submission image

    Ian:

    Congratulations on your submission -- you have to love it when you do a whole heck of a lot better than expected. By the way, how come there were no WWF cards in your submission....?


    I recently got slaughted on a 1955 Bowman submission -- which seems to be typically of everyone's experience....

    Marc,

    I am taking the plunge and submitted 125 1955 Bowman as part of a 2,400 card submission. At this point, I am hoping for 25% 8s
    given how I have fared with these in the past.

    Vic-

    You do realize you could:

    A) buy a nice 2002/3 imported compact car
    B) spend a month in Paris
    C) upgrade the entertainment center to Gem Mint
    D) help feed about 1,000 kids in Africa for a month or two

    with that submission fee? Just Kidding. Good luck.

    BobS,

    Excluding option D, I would rather have 2,400 new graded cards to add to my collection.

    Vic:

    You are going to have to keep me apprised of your Bowman submission -- you could probably make a great profit from me if you get some of those cards back in PSA 8! I think I ended up with around 30% PSA 8 -- but many of the cards were "leftovers" from the first round of submissions from a raw set -- so I am ultimately happy with the submission, just was hoping for a few more 8s -- and all the keys I needed came back as 7. Oh well.

    sjjs28:

    Congraluations -- anyone getting so many vintage 10s (especially from a tough year like 1967) deserves a special award!

    Ian,

    Nice job!!! Real quick turnaround also.I think that most of us wish we could have returns that good.
    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    1954--I think so if you are the guy that I am doing the batter-up/dan dee transaction with. will try to send out 2nd part tonight.

    SKINSFAN--Have been sending in 2000-2500 every 3 months for some time now but am through 1968 on baseball, 1963-5 on football and 1970-71 on basbetball.
    May be nearing the end for two reasons--although I have nrmt-mt ungraded sets through early 1990s in all sports it may not make a great deal of sense economically to grade and 2nd, I have close to 100 sets that I am working on and it is hard to keep up with trying to complete all of them. I can't imagine more.

    I have received a lot of offers to buy and sell cards from fellow board members since year-end. Keep them coming. All my sets are on the registry. I don't think there is anyone who would say I don't pay a fair price for 8s and 9s I need. However, probably many would say I am hard to buy cards from--you will overpay but if you just have to have that low pop 8 or those hard to find 9s I will sell them to you.

    I received a few 5's myself, I requested no qualifiers. I'm guessing those 5's were 7's, maybe 8's, that would have normally been qualified.

    Marc,

    No WWF cards this time around. Trying to just focus hard on the 1974's for now. If anyone has PSA 8 or 9 Rose or Ryan's, please let me know. Saw a nice 8 Ryan at the Fort back in September, but like the majority of Ryan stuff there, it was over priced. I had the Perry and the Brett lying around from a deal I purchased at a local card show. Bought a few 1975 commons and those were included. I didn't have a Brett rookie so I figured why not go for the package. So I sent it in, thinking "alright, this will be a 5 or a 6, but atleast it's graded". Sure enough, it comes back a 7. Also, an important note to me is the 2 Skip Jutze cards, my pick for funniest card ever, came back 9's!

    I actually sent this in through the set registry special. What suprises me even more is the post office got this to PSA's offices in, get this, one day! It was like overnight delivary without the $14.50 in base shipping costs, plus weight and other things.

    Kudos to PSA and the USPS on this one,

    Eagerly awaiting the package...
