Hey Steve

Got mine to the PO this morning.

Boopotts · June 30, 2007 3:37AM

Sent two out today. I found some blazing '64's at a card show yesterday, so I figured I'd get those in. I also had a bunch of oddball stuff kicking around that in a moment of weakness I threw in as well.

Looking forward to getting these cards back just in time for a Labor Day listing special on Ebay.

cardbender · June 30, 2007 4:09AM

Sending in my third order for the month too in about 40 minutes. 363 cards. Took all night getting it ready.

Sent another 25 today...couldn't resist...Peyton Manning Rookies, a couple of Randy Moss's, a few McGwires, '88 Leaf BB, just some odds and ends....

gregm13 · June 30, 2007 9:21AM

I arrived at my post office at 11:50 a.m. this morning - 10 minutes before closing to mail off my order!! I wonder if I won the award for waiting until the last second! I send in 1 order under the June special, 1 order under the July special, 1 order of mechanical errors and 1 order combined of free gradings and vouchers.

Regards,

Greg M.

CDsNuts · June 30, 2007 10:55AM

I just sent in a variety of things- Some mid-80s Star basketball, some blankbacks, some rack packs. I even found some cool high grade Broder cards from the 80s. I can't wait to get my grades. I hope my sub doesn't end up on the problem shelf.......

Lee

yankeeno7 · June 30, 2007 11:25AM

I had a 35 card mixed sub that went out Wednesday. I hope all mine beats yours there!

1966CUDA · June 30, 2007 12:23PM

Greg- I got you beat!! It is 10:21 pm NY time right now and I am heading off to the post office to send out an order. I am going to use the automated system and drop it in the bin in about a half hour!!! Nuthin' like waiting til the last minute!

ProspectorKing · June 30, 2007 12:33PM

lol still putting mine together...love the automated postal machines open 24/7

if it's anything like the march special (which i just got back), my procrastination will be suited to the long wait i'll endure for grades. maybe labor day? hahaha

1966CUDA · June 30, 2007 2:36PM

Yeah, I'm sure mine will take forever to get graded!! UPDATE: just got back from the post office, recipt says 11:37 pm.....DANG, I still had 23 minutes to spare!!

cardbender · June 30, 2007 5:41PM

I didn't know you could send out registered mail packages with the automated postal machines. How does the packaged get stamped around the seams and edges of the tape?

1966CUDA · July 1, 2007 12:39AM

Yiou can't use the machine for registered. I sent it insured with delivery confirmation....it was a smaller order and I only insured for $400. Put in in a smaller Priority box and taped the heck out of it with Priority tape. I've done it a couple times and never had a problem.

flatfoot816 · July 2, 2007 3:03AM

any idea on response time yet? the special said based upon demand--anyone hear anything?

brion8 · July 2, 2007 3:16AM

I sent in one order about a week ago, and then Friday night thought, ah what the hell, and put together another submission. Sent in all oddball stuff for player sets. Sent mine via FedEx. I always feel nervous sending them in.... like I know I'm doing something wrong. Anyone else have that feeling when they hand over their package(s)?

FavreFan1971 · July 2, 2007 3:32AM

Yeah, I got hosed. I had all of my cards lined up. 140 Favre's about 20 HOF Rookies and nearly half of the Packer HOF set. I get a call at 8:00 Saturday morning as I am typing up the forms and dreading the labels my brother "surprises" me by showing up from out of state. Needless to say, that cards are still at my house.

CDsNuts · July 2, 2007 3:34AM

Tell your brother owes you $160.

jradke4 · July 2, 2007 3:43AM

So at the 24/7 PO automated stations you really get a postmark on the package for date and time??

troy you should have put him to work helping you finish.

roastedcat · July 2, 2007 4:45AM

Yeah, I dropped mine off on PSA Friday last week, looking forward to getting my 63 cards back shortly.

jimq112 · July 2, 2007 5:09AM

I guess if you worked at the post office and you were running late with your sub.....

fandango · July 2, 2007 1:51PM

got my 3 of 3 order in friday....one order is a Chick Gandil photo sent to psa/dna for inspection....another order for $5 special, another for 13$ special that includes 1914 cracker jack and 1916 Famous and barr....im wishing me luck...

Boopotts · July 2, 2007 1:54PM

Every board has a comedian.

Did you just fly in from Toledo? Are your wings sore?

roastedcat · July 2, 2007 2:15PM

boopotts- You probley a newbie and live in the great plains or out in the dessert somewhere, If you live in California, like me. I'm 10 minutes away. You can drop off cards for grading at PSA on schedualed PSA Fridays. The next schedual PSA Friday is July 27th from 10am to 4pm. What ever you drop off on PSA Friday you pick up the next PSA Friday simple as that! This way you save on the shipping, handeling and insurance. If you don't believe me check for yourself!.

PSA Public Fridays: Next one July 27th.

cardbender · July 2, 2007 2:41PM

Hi Roastedcat,
Wow, that's great for you guys that live in So. Cal. Very cool of PSA to allow that too. I'd be dropping off cards once a month if I lived out there.

The shipping increase was just brutal on my last package to PSA.
The cost to mail to PSA was $44.05 for 363 cards. Return shipping will be $91.22! Ouch!!

That averages out to 37 cents per card just for shipping. Before the postal increase I use to average around 30 cents a card for a similar size order. A seven cents increase might not sound like much but times the number of cards sent in, it's over a $25 increase. I guess that's just the price of doing business.

Of course I forgot to put 'no qualifiers' on the invoices. Damn@!

I don't see where it says that all orders dropped off on the designated Friday and guaranteed to be ready by the next designated Friday. Maybe I missed something.

But you are right-- I am a newbie. Just submitted my first 9 cards last Tuesday. Boy, am I STOKED! Wish me luck. Hopefully my learning curve won't be too flat.

CDsNuts · July 2, 2007 3:00PM

Boo, I hope you get a 10 on that 87 Donruss Nolan Ryan. It's only a little off center and has a touched corner, but I think it could slide into a 10 slab.

roastedcat · July 2, 2007 3:06PM

Boo- it doesn't say it, but they always have it ready for pick up by the next PSA Friday, I think they have other graders work on the PSA Friday lot and keep them seperate from the outgoing lot. I've never had a problem with dropping off and picking up bulk orders!.

Cardbender- yeah shipping does suck!!! I only drop off card when psa does a great special I can't afford to miss out on. I hold out for $5. specials..

Boopotts · July 2, 2007 3:21PM

<< Boo, I hope you get a 10 on that 87 Donruss Nolan Ryan. It's only a little off center and has a touched corner, but I think it could slide into a 10 slab. >>

I considered submitting that '87 Ryan, but in the end I decided against it. It's a special card to me, since I pulled it from the pack myself, and I do want to get it slabbed eventually, but I figured I'd put that into a future sub. It'll give me a reason to get the next one out

These nine cards were all 1982 Donruss-- no big stars, but nice cards nontheless. None are 'picture perfect', but I think at least seven of them should grade an 8; or maybe a 9 if I catch the right grader

hill33 · July 2, 2007 3:24PM

Next time you guys feel hard done by on the shipping rates, just check out the Pacific Rim rates for shipping that I have to cough up for every time I send in a submission. Ouch just doesn't do it justice.

So, how many people got in a last minute submission this morning.
