Submission Question: Tall Boys and Coins

ndleo

I have two questions:

1. Do Tall Boys and Salada Coins go on the same invoice? Or do they have to seperated?

2. For the Tall Boy Grading Special, it says "No star cards". What is considered a star? Anything over $500? Or is it player based?

Thanks

Coins have to go on a separate invoice, you're probably better off waiting for another special to submit them unless they are all Mantle's and such.

I think they are pretty lenient on star cards, as they should be, just don't send in a bunch of Namath rookies and you should be fine.

1. The rule is that if diffferent holder sizes are needed then you seperate subs based on that.

2. No HOFers period.

Also Carol made it clear that it is not limited to HOFer's when it says no stars. But I don't know who makes the final determination as it is kind of a gray area.

This whole star/non-star thing is extremely frustrating. I was wanting to send my 1964 Topps Giants set in for grading during the special. In PSA 8, Mays is $165, Mantle is $125, and Koufax is $120. Everything else is peanuts (including HOFers which are listed below).

Whitey Ford - $25
Jim Bunning - $18
Roberto Clemente - $60
Al Kaline - $25
Nellie Fox - $18
Frank Robinson - $25
Warren Spahn - $20
Juan Marichal - $20
Harmon Killebrew - $20
Luis Aparicio - $18
Bob Gibson - $40
Carl Yastrzemski - $30
Hank Aaron - $50
Brooks Robinson - $25
Billy Williams - $22
Orlando Cepeda - $20

Non-HOFers like Skowron ($50), Cisco ($40), Causey ($45), Stuart ($40), and Friend ($45) could be submitted, but not an $18 Aparicio? At the PSA Registry Luncheon Joe Orlando said that PSA was going to lose the common/non-common categories and go with a "less than $500 in PSA 8" vs. "$500 or more in PSA 8" breakdown. This makes much more sense because there is an increased liability in grading expensive cards (not in grading HOFers). I was hoping they'd make that change immediately, but I guess I'll have to wait some more.

One example of a Star Player but not a HOFer would be someone like Pete Rose. The definition is based on the player, value then comes in for the service level (ie: regular, express, walkthrough, etc.)

Here is the definition of a star player in the Lingo section on the website.

star card
A card featuring a star player. In vintage material, a star card is usually a Hall of Fame member, while in modern material it is the players who dominate sports media and national advertising campaigns.

Here is the definition of commons from the same area.

common
A term used to describe a card that is not a rookie, semi-star, or star card. These are usually the least expensive cards in a set. “Singles” has also become a widely acceptable term for commons

Thanks. So for the coins/tall boy submission, I will have to pay S&H for each shipment? I have a 1963 Salada Mantle and Clemente, which could pull a PSA 9, 1971 Topps Coin Rose and Clemente.
