PACK EIGHT (More of the same...)



I'll tell you, I wouldn't submit any cards that I've opened so far. Horrible centering issues and rough cuts galore!

PACK NINE (Holy mackerol...can it get worse? I think that box #2 might be worth starting now)

start box 2....

Arny,
Your endeavors are certainly a labor of love - my god, that old Donruss stock is bad.
I think they used reject stock from Hefty Paper Towels.

ArnyVee

Well, although I never kept rippin', I did make a contact with someone that got me to nearly 80% complete on the set!

Check it out! ArnyVee's Elvis Presley Set!

Just added my first PSA 10!

That brings me to only 5 cards left to complete in PSA 9 or better!

ArnyVee

Well, I submitted 4 of the 5 cards that I need, so hopefully all of them come back at least 9s.

I need cards 12, 28, 36, 57 & 64.

I submitted 3 of #12, 2 of #28, 2 of #57 & 1 of #64. I didn't find any #36s in my cards that were worth submitting. It'd be nice if I pulled a 10 out of one or two of these, but I'd be happy with at least a 9 for each of them.

....at least I scored a 9 on 1/2 of the ones I needed. And pulled an 8.5 on another. Oh well, I'll keep trying to finish this thing!

The KISS cards from the same year are the same way. The same stock as the Elvis cards. The Elvis and KISS cards are downright tough to pull a 10. Those are really good grades Arny; congrats.

ArnyVee

Thanks guys. Yeah, these are TOUGH because of that horrible quality control and atrocious stock used.

I had to go through quite a few cards just to get these few. Anyways, the search to complete continues.

Mefer, you sending in any KISS cards in the near future?

Mefer

Hey Arny--

I have a small pile of singles from the KISS set I would like to send in but need to renew my membership first. They would have already been sent in were it not for that detail. I don't know then when they will make it in but they will eventually.

Great looking set Arny! I was checking your registry set to see your PSA 10, but could not find it. Did I overlook it? You are almost to the finishline-I bet it feels nice!
