Just got the results of my first submission, 10 free with membership. sub # 4086164 zip 10013. First don’t get to excited I’m mostly a non-sports collector, some hockey, but these are all non-sport cards.


1 40346637 1962 MARS ATTACKS 9 THE HUMAN TORCH N/A 6
2 40346638 1962 MARS ATTACKS 25 CAPTURING A MARTIAN N/A Not Holdered, Miscut
3 40346639 1966 LOST IN SPACE 3 READY FOR TAKE-OFF N/A 8
4 40346640 1966 LOST IN SPACE 16 TWO IN DANGER N/A 8
5 40346641 1966 LOST IN SPACE 31 THE GROUND TREMBLES N/A 9
6 40346642 1966 LOST IN SPACE 33 SAFE FROM THE SUN N/A 8
7 40346643 1966 LOST IN SPACE 50 THE AWESOME MENACE N/A 8
8 40346644 1965 HOGAN'S HEROES 62 AND YOU DIDN'T THINK WE COULD MAKE... 8
9 40346645 1965 HOGAN'S HEROES 32 ARE YOU THE U.S.O. HOSTESS? 8
10 40346646 1965 HOGAN'S HEROES 57 HAIL, HAIL, THE GANG'S ALL HERE! BUT... 8


I figured before I sent them off that 8 of them would come back 8’s and 2 9’s. I ended up with 1- psa9, 7 psa8’s and one psa6 (I can’t believe I missed something on this one!!! Argh!! surface wrinkle?) and one (Not Holdered, Miscut) Overall for my first time I’m pretty happy. My question is what makes a causes a card to get a Not Holdered, Miscut? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Also If anyone has any Hogan's Heroes in 8 or better I'm your buyer...

    << <i>My question is what makes a causes a card to get a Not Holdered, Miscut? Any info would be greatly appreciated. >>


    Good question. In my most recent submission, I got a 1969 Topps Mike Shannon graded a PSA 7 with a qualifier of MC (miscut). Prior to this, they returned all miscut cards as "not holdered, miscut." Color ME confused too.

    This card was very well centered aprox 45/55 so it wasn't a miscut qualifier??? I thinking some how it must be the size or something?

    Generally with "miscuts" it is too small to fit in the holder. For a first submission, those are really good grades.

    if the card was centered like u say then i assume it may have had what we call bat ears


    edited to say: great job though!
    Good for you.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. And Packcollector for the scan, most helpful. when I get it back if I can't figure out what's wrong with it, i'll post a pic here.

    Yikes!!! A handful of non-sports collectors!!! (Bob, Mike) Welcome to the forum!!

    I am not sure that anything I type is going to get to the boards...this is my first post after 7 years of reading!!! I am a tiny non-sport collector. Lost in Space is my favorite set!! I couldn't help but notice how well you did on the LIS cards you submitted.

    I may have some ungraded Hogan's Heroes that you might be interested in. If you want to part with some LIS to help build your other sets, email me at chenette3@aol.com

    Congrats on your first submission!

    It's great to see some other non-sports guys here... I know there are a few other besides us three... like mintstate. Anyway, I'm trying to build my own LIS set. I have the whole set raw, and will be sending in the rest soon, Overall The condition is the same thru the entire set except for a few that have light touches that will end up 7's and a few OC's. Hopefully i'll get them sent in to get graded in the next few mounths. I'll post the grades when I get them.

    I think that's great that you non-sports guys are lurking out there. Post on the boards and educate some of us about your sets. I think you would be surprised at the response. I'm waiting for the next non-sports special so I can start working on my first non-sports set (the 1st Marvel Masterpiece set by Joe Jusko).
    I would love to do an older set (U.S. President set from mid 70's maybe), but don't know enough about pricing, availablity, etc.
    Start some threads and watch the response you'll get. I'll be watchingimage

    Frank,

    Thanks for the kind words welcoming us aboard. I'm happy to finally have a "small" voice in here among the giants! Non-sport collecting is a very small subset of the card collecting market. But I think it follows much of the same patterns as sport collecting, just on a much smaller scale.

    I guess that explains why I've read for so many years before posting...I'll call it my getting up to speed period!!! All of the information shared on this message board is so valuable to those of us that still have a lot to learn or are just starting out. Kudos to all of you who have made such an effort for the sake of other collectors! My guess is that it has proved very valuable; maybe to people like myself who you never heard from!!!

    As far as sharing some non-sport perspective, I will do a little bit of that going forward. I would be interested in your persective on some of the non-sport topics. Thanks for the formal invitation to do so.

    And I couldn't help but notice that your passion is football. My re-entry into card collecting began in 1994 when a freind of mine invited me to go to a local card show. He was trying to finish some of the older basketball sets that he had started throughout the 80's.

    I spent a couple of hours there and was instantly hooked. I decided to sart my first set...the 1994 Upper Deck Football Electric Gold set!! He joined me for the first year or so at all of the card shows in the Connecticut area trying to help me, but at about 160 of the 330 card set he told me to "GIVE IT UP"...cuz I would never finish it. And he had had it with me arguing with every dealer that had one card that I needed whether or not the player was a star, semi-star or common which (as I am sure you recall the multipliers....) made about a $30 difference for what I would have to pay to get it!!!!

    Well I moved down to the Philly area in 1995 and continued my search! Obviously the Philly Sport Show was a great help, but a year or 2 out from the set year it was getting tougher and tougher as virtually no one I ever met was even remotely interested in this set!!! I had gotten up to about 300 of the 330.

    My wife had had it with me by then, and absolutely forbid me to spend another $ on any other set until I FINISHED this one!!! (A rule which until this writing she thinks I kept!!!)

    My big break came when I got a computer in 1998, and soon found EBAY, and lo and behold about the year 2000 I finally pecked my way to my final card...card #134 Jeff Hostetler. (If the guy I bought it from had only known I would have paid a king's ransom for that $2 card!!!)

    I could not wait to email my friend and rub his nose in my big accomplishment!!! All 330 electric golds. Yeee-Haaa!!!! To this day, I haven't had any card collecting encounters as rewarding as my six-year endeavor. Along the way, I sure learned alot about what it means to collect. And the most important wisdom I learned was actually given to me by the friend that started it all...and has been reiterated a thousand times on these very message boards...collect what you LOVE!!!...and if you enjoy it, then the value of the set will always be what it means to you and you alone. What it's worth will always be secondary.

    Having been on the "collecting path" since 1994, and with that wisdom, I started my 1966 Topps Lost in Space set. That was the set I played with as a kid. And like everyone else that figured out what the PSA registry was, I thought I would put together as good a set as I could. It is currently the #1 set on the Non-sport registry (with picture scans) but it has a few other non-sport collectors just waiting to snag that title. (Mike with his 8's and 9's for example!!!)

    Anyway...I'm happy to be aboard.

    Peter

    PS My wife wants to know if anyone wants to buy 330 Electric Golds football cards...she'll let them go "cheap"...just what I paid....about $8,000 from her perspective!!!!

    Threeofsix- Great Post! I guarantee you, if you post or start threads of this quality you will be quite popular on this board. I also believe there are others like me you would like to test the "non-sports" waters, but would prefer more knowledge before diving in.
    I remember those Electric Gold cards. I had sooo many have them (probably still do), but never ventured to make the whole set. I was trying to finish a Black Diamond Football set and am still looking for some of the Triple Black Diamond cards.

    collect what you LOVE!!!...and if you enjoy it, then the value of the set will always be what it means to you and you alone.

    This line was scary from your post, because whenever someone asks me what they should collect, this is EXACTLY what I tell them.

    I'm going to start I new thread with your post. I think it's a great story and exemplifies what collecting is all about.
