Will PSA grade these ?

I thought I had read that they would grade these with the new holders they are making. That set is a killer to complete. Just when you think you have a shot you are looking for some obscure cyclist or runner.

They will now. $15/card

I also thought these were cool cards to collect, especially the boxers. The photography on the vintage boxers like Johnson/Dempsey/Jeffries is really good imo. I know the boxers on e-bay are very affordable to collect.

Thanks for the confirmation MS. You can always be counted on for getting the skinny on things !

I came across a Thurman Munson on a site I was browsing and didnt want to pull the trigger on buying till I was certain they would slab it.

"Boy, what an upset!" ... click, and the TV goes off. There may have been a flag on the play, but dad and junior would never know, 'cuz dad turned off the set the very second the ball was caught. I would be like, "Turn the TV back on, you wacko!"

Hi Marc,

Does that 15$ per also hold for the 1980's Topps Supers?

Yup - also for some of the oversized Topps/Donruss cards from the 1980s [the 5x7 cards]

It's Dr Beeper from Caddyshack!!!

pjray55 · August 21, 2006 7:57PM

is there a source for priing on the sportscasters other than completed eBay auctions?

estang · August 21, 2006 11:02PM

Dr. Beeper from Caddyshack. I knew I recognized that guy.

Question....

When submitting these cards, or other oversize such as the 75 puzzle backs, how do you holder them for submission ? I have a few of the 75 puzzle backs I want to grade, and right now they are sitting in oversized top loaders. Are there card savers big enough to fit them ? Any help would be great, thanks.

Funny older commercial, but did anyone watch the "rip and pull" series of videos? A guy rippin' packs of cards. Good stuff.

beach64 · August 22, 2006 12:08AM

Arny
I saw that. He has the mentality of a 10 year old kid. Did you notice he didnt mention one card that was not an insert.

ArnyVee · August 22, 2006 12:32AM

Exactly.

I then started watching some guy that names himself the "doctor" and he's almost always playing "Sweet Home Alabama" in the background as they do some box breaks. There was a 1/1 Ruth & Dimaggio pull from a big portraits Topps product. Don't know if it was staged or not, but it was a cool item!

If that wasnt staged it was an amazing pull to capture live on video. Anyone know how much that product goes for ?

bri2327 · September 16, 2006 12:34PM

I have a few of these to submit....does anyone know if they will fit in card saver IV's ? If not, what is best to submit them in ?

Also, regarding the card saver IV's, are these the right ones for the oversized 80's cards like Donruss all stars ?

aro13 · September 16, 2006 12:42PM

Sportscasters do not fit in card saver IV's. I found some bigger holders but I am not certain where you can buy them.

bri2327 · September 16, 2006 12:55PM

Do you remember off what hand what the holders are called ?

RedRomad275 · September 16, 2006 11:47PM

I think those will fit in 6 X 9 top loaders. I have gotten CS 4's and 6 X 9's from columbiasportscards on EBay. They have the best prices I have found. Somebody on the boards refered me to them and I have bought a bunch of stuff.

Yeah I use columbiasportscards also. I have a couple of those large toploaders, but figured there may be something more similar to card savers since PSA prefers them for submission.
