From the PSA Set Registry home page:

Set Registry - 70s Card Grading Special
The Ultimate way to see how your cards stack up against some of the world's finest collections.

Register your set today free and take advantage of this month's special offer. Submit 25 or more of your 70s sportscards for just $6 a card - and they will be returned to you within 30 business days.

Start hanging out with the cool crowd at the PSA Set Registry. You'll see how popularity really pays off.

I love that last paragraph. We are just toooooo cool here, and the popularity dividends really pay off.

P.S. The exception for the grading special is the 1972 Topps set for obvious security reasons.

Z,

And I was just starting to disbelieve half the things Castaldi was saying about you... Then you start pokin fun at the 72 set again... I don't know if I can enjoy the weekend now...

Wish this special included the 65 set too

69topps8 · February 8, 2002 11:19AM

Does this special include the star cards as well or just commons? I'm putting together another submission and will consolidate those with the commons.

Thanks for the heads up

OK,

I'm looking at the Registry home page, but, call me blind, I don't see the special... yes I refreshed the page!!

I don't see it either. Where in the heck are the Pop-Up Ads when you need them?

thegemmintman · February 8, 2002 12:22PM

What can I tell you guys? The pop up ad smacked me in the head about ten times and it was on the Registry home page. They probably took it down to "correct" it. Aren't you glad I copied and pasted it so we can lock in the best deal?

mcastaldi · February 8, 2002 11:12PM

Was there for me earlier in the day yesterday and then in the evening I couldn't find it either.
Thought it was just me.

I hope the offer's still good because I just sent a package out yesterday with "70's Registry Special" on it and submitted payment at $6.00 per card. Once I saw it in the afternoon I finished filling out my invoices and ran (actually I drove) to the POST OFFICE before they closed.

Where are you guys finding 72 topps to submit to PSA? Are they ones that you collected and are sending in as funds become available, off ebay, or do you go to local card shops and go through the cards?

Just wondering.

Dale

Is this special good for all of February?

dalew · February 9, 2002 2:48AM

By the way, what do the 72'ers do for a living, cause I can't keep up with the funding of this nasty habit.

Dale

If someone posts their job, so will I.

Dale,

What do you mean "jobs"? This word is strange to me. Hold on... left my mint julip on the verranda. There thats better... As for me, I just have the butler pack up the cards and he has the accountant send a check and poof! More graded cards. Just have your butler do the same.

carkim · February 9, 2002 3:10AM

Dale,

I just sent in the last of my raw 1972 cards, and I picked through most of the cards around here. I have to wait for the National in Chicago before I stock up again (I already put in for my vacation time at work). Speaking of work I'm a Quality Systems Coordinator for a Thermo-Set Composites factory in NE Ohio. However, funding for my cards came from the money I put away while I played professional Basketball overseas. To tell you the truth that nest egg is just about gone.

Dale> Actually, I'm sort of in the same boat as Carlos in that I just recently submitted the last of my gradeable 72s. Order for 114 72s (and 45 1975s) rec'd on 2/6. I may go to a local dealer and search through his 72s. I've already been through them 3 or 4 times, but you never know. Otherwise, I'm just waiting for the Sun-Times show in March (and then National) to reload my 72s. In the mean time I may pick up a vending box of 79s and submit them to get in on the special.

As for what I do. . .I'm a Macintosh (computer) technician/consultant in the Chicagoland area.

I have been trying to find information about the Chicago show in March but can't find anything. Does anybody have a website with information on the show? I'm a realtor in Evansville, IN and I'm not sure what a butler or a varanda is.

Hey Mike,

Good luck with you web site launch this week.
I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Also, if you has info on the National post that on this thread as well.

Carlos

mcastaldi · February 9, 2002 7:19AM

Chicago will host four major shows in 2002. All events will be at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center. Located in Rosemont, the facility is only about 15 minutes from O'Hare.

1 - The spring Sun-Times show is March 23-25.
2 - SportsFest will be June 13-16
3 - National will be August 7-11
4 - The fall Sun-Times show will be November 15-17

This information can be found by viewing PSA's "Show Schedule" and selecting the appropriate state.

I'm sitting on a complete set of mostly NM-MT/Mint 1972's that I obtained by purchasing about 7 or 8 high grade sets and cherry picking the best cards each time. I also had purchased a series 3 wax box a few years back and opened a handful of packs which yielded some nice cards (and some OC as well). As for work, I'm a technical marketing manager for a Bay Area high tech company.

By the way, I'm still hoping someone can confirm if the '70's $6 grading special includes star cards or is it only valid for commons?

thegemmintman · February 11, 2002 8:02AM

I just received this in an email -

How many times can we use this?? I would rather spread the fees over the next few weeks, then just submit a whole ton at once. Anyone know? thanks for your help.
