Dud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius
(singer: “Real Men of Genius”)
Today we salute you, Mr. Unprotected Expensive Graded Card Mailer Guy
(singer: “Mr. Unprotected Expensive Graded Card Mailer Guy”)
Most people think that grading companies encapsulate a card in a thin, plastic holder so
that the card will be identified with the assigned grade. But you know the real reason.
They made the holder to protect the card when it’s mailed.
(singer: You’re buyin’ the card, not the holder!“”)
Of course you’ve been tempted to just put a mailing label and some stamps on the holder
itself and mail it off, but you respect the privacy of your clients and that’s why you go that
extra mile and mail that expensive card in a plain paper envelope.
(singer: “Mailin’ a large graded set wrapped only in cellophane!”)
Sure, a lot people who mail their sportscards tend be nervous if the people standing in line
behind them at the post office are mailing bowling balls or large pottery, but that doesn’t faze
you in the least.
(singer: “Did I hear a Snap, Crackle, Pop?”)
So crack open an ice-cold Dud Light, you minimalist of merchandise mailing, because while some
environmentalists are protecting the whales or the wilderness, you are a leader in conserving the
cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and styrofoam peanuts of this world.

- Slowly (Very Slowly) Working On A 1952 Topps Raw Set (Lower Grade)
BTW- I bought the CD on Ebay with all 56 tracks. Best $5 I've ever spent.
Fabfrank - You were fortunate to get one. I was going to get one myself and they been banned on eBay (probably for copyright issues). It's no big deal since they can be loaded down from the web and now I have them in MP3 format on my PC. I bet they'll have a new TV commercial for the Super Bowl.
Maybe someone else can find a word or two more suitable for
This Yestersay/PSA conversion
PSA,I just got all my grades back yesterday
Now it looks as if they're all 9s. No way!
Oh, I believe in PSA.
Suddenly,half way down the invoice I see,
It's a PSA 10 McCovey.
Oh,PSA came suddenly.
Well, they have to go I don't know I just can't say.
I did something wrong, but I thank you PSA.
PSA, cards were such an easy game to play.
Now I need to place them all on ebay.
Oh, I believe in PSA.
Mm mm mm mm mm.

I filed an ansurance claim (the seller didn't want to) and after six weeks it came back denied by the USPS. In appealing the denial, I sent them a letter with a 1973 PSA-graded common in exactly the same type of cheapo bubble mailer the seller used. In my cover letter I said something like "the fact that you are holding this card undamaged should be proof enough of the extraordinary damage it endured in the 'normal course of shipping'..."
Wonder of wonders, miracles, if the USPS paid the claim in only a week after receiving my letter! I guess my little show and tell did the trick.
I considered myself lucky that this was - and is - my only problem with a damaged card. It broke my heart however the day I got it to see a PSA 9 Rose card in such bad shape, all because some nimrod seller wouldn't slab it in a couple of pieces of cardboard (of course, I'm assuming that would have been enough protection...)
Saturday I take my SCDA 9 Lake to Lake Schoendienst in to PSA for crossover grading, where I get to see whether the badly cracked holder (mailed between 2 pieces of cardboard in a plain white envelope) means the card was damaged too.
