mikeschmidt · February 3, 2006 5:23AM

Dang, that is a boatload of 10s. Congrats on the super case break and submission

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:25AM

I knew going in the Clemens and Mcgwires' would probably grade 8 or 9's, But honestly I thought every other card had a reasonable chance of being a 10. I was very surprised to get three Puckett's in 10! And I though for sure one of the Mattingly's would have been a 10. But I am very happy with the way it turned out.

zef204 · February 3, 2006 5:25AM

Awesome grades! Did they just pop?

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:28AM

Yep, I have been checking all day and finally got the hit !

zef204 · February 3, 2006 5:28AM

When were they recieved?

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:30AM

Are you really sure you want to know ???

zef204 · February 3, 2006 5:31AM

Yeah, I haven't been waiting long on mine, but I have the paitence of a 4 year old

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:33AM

Ok Zef, you asked for it --

zef204 · February 3, 2006 5:37AM

That is awesome! I have had that the last few times I submitted so I kinda expected it this time. Not so much. Mine logged on 1/26 and I have a feeling it is going to be a while. I had 30 Mexicans in there and I think they may be holding it up.

That last statement looks really bad if you don't know what I am talking about.

ldferg · February 3, 2006 5:37AM

oh my gosh...what a turnaround and excellent grades to boot.

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:40AM

Anybody know how much puckett goes for in a 10 on E-bay ? I have a feeling I may actually get my money back from this case, of course I will probably buy another case but that is another story.

That's all you could hope for.

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 5:47AM

I still have a boatload of commons and some minor stars to send in, I just wanted to send in most of the high dollar cards first, along with some I knew couldnt miss. I will probably sell the Clemens and Mcgwires and try for 10's of those in my next case. lol

<< That is awesome! I have had that the last few times I submitted so I kinda expected it this time. Not so much. Mine logged on 1/26 and I have a feeling it is going to be a while. I had 50 Puerto Ricans in there and I think they may be holding it up.

do you think graders grade some cards w/ a finer tooth comb versus other cards? you can probably guess the cards i am referring to, but i have to ask the question?

Julen

oh yea... nice friggin grades!!!!

lawnmowerman · February 3, 2006 7:18AM

Wow! Great job on the grades. I wonder if I should be worried? My sub was logged in on 1-10-06 and still no grades.

Matt

MarkLee · February 3, 2006 7:23AM

Hi tennesseebanker,

I am looking for a few PSA 9s from 1985. Specifically I need:

352 Joe Morgan
515 Dave Concepcion
670 Tom Seaver

If you have any of these from your box break that you feel confident would get 9s I would be willing to pay you $5 apiece plus grading fees plus shipping if you wanted to send them in on your next submission. I'll take the risk and but them anyway if they don't come back as 9s. Thanks.

Mark

Yes I do. I know they aren't supposed to, but I really do believe that no matter how hard they try not to look, they do see it is a Clemens Rookie.

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 7:45AM

Mark, I will be looking but I cant promise you I would find some. I have still got about 1000 to go through that i havent even got into card savers yet because I ran out, but I will keep an eye out for them.

bri2327 · February 3, 2006 8:38AM

tennesseebanker,

Are you interested in selling any of the Mattingly's you got back ? I would be interested in any Guidry, Nettles, or Gossage you have with a shot at getting a 9 or 10.

Real nice grades too, congrats !!

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 9:40AM

YEah sure I would be willing to sell two of the three nine's. PM me if interested

larryallen73 · February 3, 2006 11:21AM

Bravo on the grades! I am impressed. That is a high percentage of 10's!

tennesseebanker · February 3, 2006 11:34AM

Thanks Larry, A 10x loupe and small halogen lamp can do wonders !

jackstraw · February 3, 2006 11:33PM

Are the Ryan's perfectly centered? I have yet to see a copy of one with perfect centering? I would be interested in one of your 9's if thats the case?

John

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 12:38AM

Both were very close to perfect centering if I remember correctly. But I have already traded one and I have to keep the other. I beleive I have one ungraded that looks pretty good if you want to see it.

jackstraw · February 4, 2006 1:20AM

Sure....... I would be interested in a Ryan RB same way.

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 1:28AM

I dont have a Ryan Rb the case I opened was very strange with the record breakers and all star cards. Hardly any of them were nicely centered. I think I saw a Ryan RB on E-bay if I am not mistaken you may want to check it out.

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 1:53AM

Jackstraw, I found the 85 Ryan. But it is very rough cut across the top. probably not psa 9 material

jmbkb4 · February 4, 2006 2:31AM

How much for one of the Puckett 10's? Send me a PM and I'd like to buy one if you're interested.

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 2:36AM

pm sent

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 2:45AM

GUys, I have several boxes of cards leftover. I was just looking through some and saw two more puckett rookies centered about 60/40 amoungst alot of other stars. Most of the stars I have left will probably be a little off center, although some may have good shots at 9's. If anyone wants to see a scan of anyone let me know. I am still looking for a lot of your requests so far, sorry but I have a lot of stuff to go through, The stars are easily accesible though. I did find four Ryan Record Breakers all were pretty off center though. Thanks !

JackWESQ · February 4, 2006 7:13AM

Tennessee Banker,
Would you be interested in selling the 1985 Topps Mark McGwire PSA 9 SN 31462377. Thank you.

RedHeart54 · February 4, 2006 7:48AM

<< Jackstraw, I found the 85 Ryan. But it is very rough cut across the top. probably not psa 9 material >>

Just submit it as an OPC.

tennesseebanker · February 4, 2006 8:42AM

Jack, turn on your pm. And yes anything that I have more than one of is for sale. The mcgwires and clemens are all for sale, because I am going to try for a ten in these for my reg set.
