"Tall Boy" submission question

Virtualizard

I have a lot of oddball cards to submit soon.

First question: Is the current "Tall Boy" slab that holds most discs (Isaly's, Crane, Buckmans, etc.) and 1970 & 1971 Topps Supers, the largest holder available right now? If I have cards too large to fit in this holder, does that mean that PSA does not currently grade these cards?

Second question: I know I have to submit these cards on a separate submission form, but do I need to pay separate s&h for 2 submissions if I do so. The instructions on the website and submission form are a little vague.

Here is what the current special states:

Submit any card through the Express service for only $10 per card during the month of October.

This is where I'm even more confused. Can I really submit any card, like it says, or do the tallboys still need to be separated.

Basically, if I have to pay separate s&h fees, I will wait until I have a large enough quantity of tallboy cards to submit.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have submitted tall boys along with regular sized cards on the same invoice many times with no problems.

On the question about the holders, I believe the tall boy holder is the biggest that PSA has right now, but Joe Orlando was talking about a larger holder at the Nationals. It was supposed to be coming along with the new and improved holder, but I have not seen or heard anything about these new holders as of yet.

The tall boy holder is also the largest holder that they will grade tickets for. That leaves a lot of tickets without a slab.

Is anybody out there?....hello.....can you hear me now?

cmcclelland,

Thanks for the response.

I just checked the online submission form and it has been updated since the last time I used it (about 2 weeks ago). Ticket grading has been added as well.

The note that stated "Tallboys available on each of the above services but must be submitted on separate invoice. Failure to separate may cause significant delays in processing your order." has been removed from the submission form.

I'm assuming this means combining cards will not be a problem.?.?

In your experience, did you see "significant delays", as the submission form stated, by submitting both regular cards and tallboys on the same invoice?

Thanks again.

At the last Ft Washington show a month ago, Joe showed me the sample Turkey Red slabs, those cards are 6 x 8", so I imagine anything bigger then a tall boy and smaller then a Turkey Red can be housed in those holders. Not sure when the Turkey Reds will be ready for grading, hopefully shortly....jay

They should be grading larger cards soon. Joe Orlando showed me the holer for T3's at the last Fort Washington show. I do not see any listed in the Pop report. He indicated that it would be very soon. I believe that was the story during the National also. He asked me if I would get my Peter's Meat set graded if they could figure out how to keep the cards from sliding, (that does not seem to bother them with other issues). I asked about the inserts that GA and SGC use. He told me that PSA does not like them because durning crossovers they have seen damage on the edges from the inserts.

I do have some cards that I'd like to get graded that are close to 5" x 7". Hopefully, these will be available soon.

I just measured the stops on the "disc holder" - they will accomodate a card of up to 3½" wide by 4" tall. I also measured a 1971 Topps Super, the true "tallboy holder" - these slabs will hold a card of up to about 3-5/8" by 5-19/32".

I have some that are real close to these limits and quite a few that are over. I'd love to get these graded. Hopefully, a new holder will be available soon.

JEB,

I have been waiting on these larger size formats. The new holder should be out in 10 days according to Joe. The Turkey Reds are 5 3/4 " by 8" so anything smaller would probably work in these holders. Hope this helps Jeff

JEB,

I have not noticed any delays from combined submissions. Just did one on the 5 day special and no problems.

As of Friday the biggest holder available was 5" x 3". The bigger holder are coming out in December...or so I was told by customer service.
