can someone help a brother out??

I am thinking about submitting a bulk order of modern baseball cards (80's-90's) and since i have not done this before i have questions:

1) i know PSA prefers a special card holder, like the ones i recieved when i joined. i have searched the webpage to get more and don't see it. where can i get more? or something similar and what is the terms for them? i only know "toploader", which is apprently a bad word to PSA.
2) any idea if and when they may run a special on pricing for baseball cards?
3) what other advice can i get?

thanks for your patience in dealing with a rookie

Columbia Sports Cards

You need card saver I's to submit.

Modern card specials come up about 2-3 times per year. 100 or more cards in a modern submission qualifies you for the bulk rate ($6), so no need to wait if you've got 100.

1) Card savers I's.

2) I would wait for a $5 special on modern baseball. It seems they usually have one in November as I usually submit cards at the Chicago Sun-Times show.

3) The PSA rules state that you should put a small sticker with the card info on the back of the Card Saver. My advice is to write on the sticker BEFORE it's on the card saver/card.

You can order CardSaver1s from PSA for about $10 per pack of 100 or you can order directly from the manufacturer. Type in "CardSaver1" on an eBay search. I've purchased some from Mead before and Columbia Sports.

Columbia sports is the way to go for Card Saver 1's. Best way to buy them is in bulk if you need that many. You can get 1000 for about $55 delivered ($5.50 per 100).

If you're submitting a lot of cards, I would recommend buying a pack of Avery 8167 Return address labels. Use a Microsoft word processor program and print those things out in bulk. I couldn't imagine sitting and writing the invoice number on several hundred labels.

If you type a submission sheet in excel, you can do a mail merge file to print the stickersto the avery labels. Killing 2 birds..I am sure that is what the guys here are doing
