    I like the holder, not much play.
    Would be pretty neat collecting a set of the panels...jay

    Looks like it's the size of holder they put Full Super Bowl Tickets in.

    That seller has several other panels including a '75 Yount, '75 Aaron, '75 Schmidt and a '77 Carlton. I was wondering about the holder also...haven't seen that size before.

    Very nice! And I just cut up my Drake's panels to submit the Ryans! Damn! It looks like it is the same slab they currently use for tickets with a different size place holder within. Definitely cool!

    A couple of questions:

    1) What service would that be under? Does it cost more?

    2) How much space should be left outside of the dotted lines? As little as practicable? If you left an inch, it wouldnt fit in the holder I wouldnt think.

    Any thoughts would be appreciate. I have quite a few panels that I almost cut. I like this method better.


    Thanks for your help.

    Dang, I wish I'd known this before I hand-cut Johnny Bench out of a '76 panel and did a poor job of it.

    i would imagine that cardmerchant has/had a few of these and just took them to a printer?? cutting a line that long that straight is a pretty tough almost impossible task for human hands?it would make sense to do such a thing if you had 50 or more panels?i gotta give psa credit here for one uping the comp(if they have any) again? i would imagine 4 card box bottoms are next once they bring down the price of the t3 holder?i have often thought that signed 8x10's will find their way into psa holders someday?

    i recently picked up 2 uncut '75 hostess boxes, a ryan and yount. i was wondering how i was going to cut them .
    it seems like it will be much easier to just cut the panel rather than individual cards.
    i figured i'd keep the cards for a while then sell them but the idea of collecting the set as slabbed panels is very appealing. i think they look great.

    Were Hostess panels random, or were the same three cards on every panel? If they were random, think of the variations! You could slab panels that have your favorite player on the left, center or right of each panel, or with different players. It's a potential goldmine for PSA.

    They were not random.

    Other issues, although not random, lend themselves to a couple of variations/different combinations. 1981 Topps Scratch-Offs is one example. 1988 and 1989 Topps Stickers/Stickercards is another.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Interesting. I bought a small box full of these from a collector about 12 years ago and paid $15 for them. I guess I'll have to dig them up and see how good the cuts and conditions are.

    It's nice to have to hear this from a member here who came across an auction on ebay! image

    Why can't PSA let everyone know about this via message boards, website, or email? I fork out the membership fee every year, send in 100s, sometimes 1000s of cards per year to PSA for grading, but I still can't get simple questions answered? image

    Once again, I'd love to see a complete list of what PSA will currently grade, and what PSA will currently not grade. It can't be that hard to produce such a list. I'll even offer to keep it updated if PSA will provide me with this information.

    I have been sending in submissions to PSA for years and I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing every time I send a package off to Newport Beach. I just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

    Hopefully PSA will enlighten us some day. I hate vouchers!
