Live PSA break coming tonight 4/24

Well it seems though I really am master of my domain! I have resisted urges to view my submission results and just picked up 3 boxes from the PO that were shipped from PSA! Unfortunately I am stuck at work all day while these sit at home but I plan to do a live break of the larger sub which is all vintage and just show a few highlights (if there are any) from the other. The 3rd box is just a reholder order so nothing too exciting there.
I am normally a 3 sub a year guy but happened to send in 3 orders earlier this year and got two of them back in the same day and the strange part is I am still waiting on the oldest of the 3 to pop. The two I received were;
Bulk Service level approx 130 cards received 3/25 and sent 4/16
Set Registry Special of approx 50 cards received 4/15 and sent 4/18 !!!
Those are the two boxes I received today along with the reholder order
Strangely I had another Bulk Service order received 2/20 and that hasn't popped yet??
So, the 130 card order will be opened live on the forums for any that care to peek in once in awhile as it will be a slow "rip" as I'll try to add some scans along the way, etc.. I don't want to "oversell" this as I don't expect anything super great and there will be alot of 7's and 8's (if I'm lucky) along with a share of 6's and 5's as well but it's always fun to actually get the box back especially not knowing the results inside. I also set up the sub with the intention of having a fun rip so I mixed up all sports, years, brands, etc. so I wouldn't know what to expect next. There are some cracks and resubs in there too so I'll be curious to see if any bumps were achieved. There's all 4 sports along with some Boxing, Golf, Tennis, Tobacco...and just a wide mix of everything so I'm looking forward to seeing some of these slabbed. Alot of these were raw Ebay purchases and I also wrote down the sellers advertised grade so I'll see how far off these were which will be interesting to me as well. I'm sure at least a grade lower on average but probably more on others but I'll try to throw those details in the break as well. Can you tell I'm excited? I haven't had a PSA shipment since September so I'm due!

1957 Topps #65 Art Donovan PSA 8 ------------- (listed NM-MT)
I once read Art Donovan's book "Football When Men Were Really Men". Highly recommended.

<< <i>What is the dark mark on the top left corner of each of those 54 Bowmans or is that just from the scan. >>
They look like water stains. May have lucked out on the grades for those?
I recommend Art Donovan's book "Fatso" ... lmoa
<< <i>What is the dark mark on the top left corner of each of those 54 Bowmans or is that just from the scan. >>
Yeah, it's a stain on the cards so I'm a bit surprised they didn't grade lower. It's on all of them (I bought a lot of 12) but lighter on some than others.

<< <i>Those Churchman's boxing are great! >>
I agree - extremely underrated set. I have the #2 SGC Registry - will be #1 as soon as I get the dough for a submission. I have the only Schmeling in a 9 (SGC 96) in existence. I highly recommend people put this set together. Extremely easy to find for a 70 year old set. I love this live break. Needs to happen more often - but who wants to wait?!?!?
Are any of those 57 Football available?

<< <i>Just 3 T218's? >>
I know...I actually bought a lot of 12 on the Bay awhile back and they arrived in a plain white envelope - get this -- wrapped very tightly in a rubber band! Not many survived so I just picked the 3 best to see what they would grade.
Lee, you could definitely kick his arse.

Lee, I would hope so, he has to be well over a hundred years old.
