Anyone working on their sub right now?

I am. I hope to have it ready to go tomorrow. I am going to submit about 100 Emmitts and a few other selected stars. This will be my biggest sub and wont be my best. I am throwing a bunch of Emmitts in that will most likely pull 10's 9's and 8's to use them as set fillers. I think I am going to put them in order as to which I think will grade the highest to lowest. Does anyone else do it this way or do you slip cards in here and there that you think will get 10's?

I often wonder if this has any bearing on how the grader looks at your cards.

  • Matt:

    I always place the cards I think will grade lower in front. Figure it will make my gems look better. My last sub was frighteningly close.

    Not a sermon, just a thought!

    Good luck!

    Hmmm, thats a thought. But then I was thinking the grader might think "this guy doesnt know what he doing" and would be tougher on the rest. Hmmm, I dunno

    I've heard many different theories how to place cards this way or that way
    on a submission. Some (as stated prior) say to but the more beat up cards first
    others say put them at the end and so on.
    I just put everything in yearly order, then numerical order of said year...jay

    That's what I do. Unless I'm trying to "sneak" some 59's in a 60's sub. Then I'll stick them somewhere in the middle.

    I have however, put in a lower example of the same card that I otherwise wouldn't have submitted to make the higher grade card look better. I think it's worked a few times, and against me a few times.image
