Grades Popped, My Best Vintage Sub Ever

I just had my grades pop today in lightening fast time. Though I did receive the inevitable stinker grades on a few items (that always happens; you just have to accept it), I am overall very pleased. With the exception of those few stinkers, everything else came in about where I expected. Showing how "small potatoes" I am, this is the best vintage sub I have ever hit:

Some may ask, "why grade some of those cards that came in at 4, 5 and 6?" Most of those cards were part of my grandfather's collection and they are very dear to me. I want to keep them well preserved and give them the "home" they deserve. There are a lot of memories there.

Enjoy!

    Not bad, but where are the KISS Donruss cards??image

    Ha, funny you mention about the KISS Donruss cards. I have a stack of 'em I could grade but since I am pretty much just at the upgrading stage of that set, and there is otherwise no market for the cards, I could not see paying $6.00 a piece for those cards. I do know it is a bit "rare" for me to grade anything but those cards. image
