What do we want for an October grading special?

Hi-
I'm looking for a 70's special at $5 per card/coin. I have a bunch of 70-72 topps football and '71 topps coins waiting to go out if the right special pops up! What is everyone else hoping for?

    wax pack crossover special- jump start the new service!

    alternately, a $6 pre war common special- get all those mid grade cards slabbed.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    unfortunately both specials run for 2 months so doesn't look like we will be getting anything good
  • there waiting for december when everyone's strapped for cash to do the $5special in hopes it will deter everyone from sending in and they still look good for the offerimage
  • $5 non-sport. I am sitting on a ton of raw star wars cards.

  • LOL! Yeah and I'm sitting on a ton of old Mork and Mindy cards! If we did get a $5 special for 70's cards, I could finally make some progress on the 71 set!

    I have an extra $1200 or so kicking around, so I'd really like a $5 modern special, which would allow me to blow a grand or so getting cards slabbed that have no business being graded in the first place.

    That's why the $5 modern special will come right after tax time--this way there's more people with extra cash around here willing to part with it on grading cards that shouldn't be graded...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    I don't think you need a non sport special to send them in. I submit non sport cards all the time on any $5 special they run as long as it's within the years stated. Never had a problem.

    I'd like to see inventiveness in specials.
    Examples:
    "You call it" special - 50 or more cards from any 1960-present set at $5 each or 25 or more (1960-present) cards of any player at $5 each.
    "Rounding era" special - all cards with factory rounded corners (including coins, Slurpee discs, and pins) that don't require tall boy holders for $5.
    "Fan's choice" special - PSA members take part in a board survey to pick 10 sets eligible for the $5 per card special.

    I wouldn't mind a 'keep it in one set' special whereby you could send in 25 cards + from just one particular set at $5 a card. Your choice of set of course, provided they were all from just one set.

    How 'bout a "We'll Actually Get it Right the First Time" special? Every invoice not only graded with a high degree of accuracy and consistency but free of mechanical errors as well.
