First time submitters question

tnfan67

When submitting cards for grading should I put the card in penny sleeve and place it in the card saver? I realize that the PSA instruction sheet does not say to do this. However, I would appreciate knowing the methods used by veteran submitters. Thanks.

I always inlcude a penny sleeve if I'm not using a card saver. The other rigid holders allow for too much movement.
Shouldn't need one if using a card saver.

I use only a card saver. Using a penny sleeve is unnecessary and creates an opportunity to damage the card. Never had a problem.

i use a penny sleeve, and i've never had a problem..

Penny sleeve all the way. Also, if it's modern foil or high gloss cards that are susceptible to
chipping, then definitely put it in a penny sleeve first otherwise the foil may get stuck
to the card saver when they try to take it out. Remember to use Card Saver 1 also.
Not the Card Saver II.

Thanks for all the good advice. I will be sending the order out on Thursday. I hope I don't get the famous "Darth Grader" that I have read about on these boards. Again, thanks.

If you are sending in any modern cards that have a glossy finish, metallic sprakly surfaces, etc. use a penny sleeve. These surfaces tend to stcik to the inside of the Cardsaver and chip off when the card is removed. For older cards, the Cardsaver alone is good enough.

Thanks, again. I am sending off 6 vintage cards. I did not use a penny sleeve with these cards. I am looking forward to getting them back soon.
