in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I'll be sending these out on Monday for whatever service comes with the free submissions on sign-up (which I'm still attempting to figure out).

Contest ends noon CST on Monday and closest gets a goodie bag from yours truly image

You cannot edit your post and the tie-breaker, if needed, will determined later.

There are no creases or paper loss. However, the Koufax has a slight paper wrinkle on the back image (edited to add: crud, the Williams has an itsy-bitsy paper wrinkle on his tiny little nose image )

Now if I can just figure out how to do this paper work image

Good luck!
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    May you have more karma than you know what to do with it image

    So I'm trying to figure out how to fill out the form and have a couple of questions image

    I have 6 free submissions but the value has to be under $500 per card; however, the SMR isn't coming for another 6 - 8 weeks. Would I put the price I paid or just guess how much it could go for?

    Also, I know that I have to pay for return shipping, so I guess I can only do regular ("any card with a declared value under $500 must be submitted at his service level or higher"). However, sending them out, what service should I use (ie FedEx, UPS, USPS) and what about insurance? Which leads back into how I perceive the "value" to be.. Edited to add: And how do I ask for no qualifiers? Can't seem to find that option on the submission form..

    And finally, were others this confused on their first submission or am I just that baked-out and confused image

    Thanks for playing and to those who guessed trimmed, they very well could be. Having said that, I've put them next to my father's '55s and they line up perfectly. Now my eyes aren't what they use to be, so they very well could be short. However, I'm going to remain optimistic and hope for the best image

    Here are the SMR vaules for your cards for PSA 5, 6, and 7.

    Aaron 160 - 230 - 350
    Robinson 160 - 230 - 350
    Koufax 325 - 475 - 750
    Mays 250 - 375 - 700
    Snider 215 - 365 - 700
    Williams 175 - 275 - 450

    You could use the guesses to determine what value to use for each card. The final
    decision ultimately is with you.
  • stownstown Posts: 11,321 ✭✭✭
    Cards went out today since I had a brain fart yesterday image

    Since a couple of people guessed "trimmed", the contest will have to be a right or wrong answer.

    In other words, no soup for you if you guessed a 5 and came back a 6. Total correct answers will be tabulated and whoever got the most right is the winner. Due to the number of contestants, I'm positive there will be a couple of ties. Most likely, it will come down to picking a number in which a fellow board member (who is not involved in said tie-breaker) will have confirmation of said number.

    Sure hope I filled out the forms right... image

    You guys have until Wednesday Jan 10th at 5:00 PM CST to answer the following question:

    How many Astro games did I attend this year? Keep in mind that I live about 10 minutes away from MMP and share season tickets. Sometimes I walked up, other times I had tickets, and sometimes I couldn't make it even though I had tickets image

    Closest without going over wins.

    I will PM someone who is a respected and honest (allegedly) member of these boards.

    Good luck image
