*****Official PSA Boards Pack Grading Group Special!!! Details inside!*****

miconelegacy

So we have confirmation that if we gather together 100 Packs we can get them graded for just $10 per pack versus the normal $14. This will be for packs from 1970 to present.

I will be organizing it, but want to finish this group rip first. More details to follow.

Thanks,

Please also reply with any comments, idea's, or discussion, and if your interested.

Interesting, do you have references?

daverat

good lord you are a busy man but, I have a feeling Steve Hart is going pass you on that one soon! thx for putting all this together

nendee

Does this include cello?

miconelegacy

I will have to find out on that, but I assume. I know cpamike just had a bunch of them graded, and believe all packs are the same. I have some 77 cello I want to get graded as well.

I will get confirmation for us and anyone else interested.

grote15

Cello and wax are same cost 1972 to present.

jswieton

I would be in for getting 5 or 6 packs graded.

jeffcbay

I will have a few cellos to toss on the pile. I'll be watching for the go ahead!

i might be in but have to buy the packs first. is there anyway to buy the packs from bbce and have them keep them and grade them and then ship them to psa to slab and send back to me. seems dumb to pay for shipping from bbce to me and then me to psa and then psa to bbce, bbce back to psa and then psa to me.

nendee

In for 5 then. Thx!

miconelegacy

I am good for 25 or 30. So that puts us about half way there.


I've subbed a few thousand cards, but never packs. They have to go to PSA before heading to Steve at BBCE.

I will be ready to submit mine next week after I receive packs from this box break.

Let's make sure we have enough interest, and then I'll put out details etc.

As far as references, I talk with Rick Probstein weekly and have sent him 13 or 14 different shipments of cards since February to sell for me. I've seen all issues the past few years with group card subs. The only one I took part in was a couple years back with Gumbyfan. That one went great, and would do another if he was running it. I don't mind sharing whatever info you may want to feel secure.

I've had a lot more time on my hands especially since I having been working from home, and have been increasing my buying and selling of cards.

My wife Michelle has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer to the bone. She was diagnosed in April of 2008 and keeps fighting every day. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. So being home I can care for her and my 3 children, and not have it all done by our part time nanny or my mother.

My plan is to get this cardboard to replace my income, so if and when there is a life altering situation with my wife, my children have me there, and financially we will have no worries, whether I'm working or not. I am currently a 40 percent owner of a retirement planning corporation, and serve as VP and branch manager of our Charleston office. I was born in Waltham Mass, and moved to NH when I was 7. Lived there 20 years, and have lived in SC for 6 years in August.

I was born in 77, so I have a few dozen packs from different rips on here. This Box break going on now is pretty much done, and I enjoy doing them, this being my third in 4 months. It keeps me busy, helps build relationships, and knowledge.

So I could go on and in, but if you need anything specific to feel comfortable please let me know.

Thanks,

Mike

At $10 a pack, I'd be willing to add a few packs. The problem, though, is if you have people sending in multiple packs from the same years, how will we avoid getting mixed up?

nendee

Micon is one of the best guys on this board. I haven't done a group sub before but feel he's as good as it gets.

miconelegacy

I already thought of that and a have a couple ideas.

I'm going to find out if we could all fill out our own submissions with packs on them. So I get yours here, you've already wrapped them good, and your submission form is filled out b

I can fill out my own, and then one master submission with everyones packs on it. Once we know who is doing it, nendee we call you number 1, I'm number 2, etc. Everyone would need to right their number on the outside of you wrapped packs.

So we pack up 10 of 15 different wrapped packs with a number on the outside. To separate who's are who's.

The sub form will show 1 of 15, 2 of 15 so forth and so on. I need to make sure they will accept that.

If they don't, then when your packs come come here, I will catalogue them 1 by 1. Wrap each pack and put a sticker on the outside. So Nendee you have packs 1 through 5, I have 6 through 30, etc etc.

I will fond out from Steve and contact Joe to find out the best way. But if all they need is 100 packs, they shouldn't care if there are 10 or 15 different orders.

jeffcbay

Luckily mine are all cellos so I won't have a problem identifying them, but I see your point with the wax packs. Hopefully PSA keeps them all in order as they are on the submission sheet.

Mike,

Just send you a PM about the my conversation with Joe and setting this up as previously discussed. I'm good for 8 packs in the sub.

Thanks!

Sorry I've missed the party. My son won his dek hockey championship for the second straight time and they had a party at the coach's house afterwards last night.

I have 5 packs already pulled aside to be graded and I can add at least another 5 to that. Let us know if Joe and PSA had any additional guidance. Thanks for getting this rolling Mike.

EchoCanyon

I'm in for 8-10 packs

grote15

I'm in for 6-8 packs.

miconelegacy

Great so we can get it done. I will get sone final details out on Sunday for this.

I don't want to do much more than 100. Artistlost made contact with Joe Orlando for this rate. Even at 1,000 it's still $10 per card.

So do we keep this open for anyone or just those who have participated in the last 2 box breaks??? Just wondering what you thought. I don't care really, I just don't want to be dealing with 50 different packages. No offense.

I put a lot of time into the box breaks, and trust me I do it out of love, and will do the same for 100 packs or so.

Look for more info on Sunday eve.

BPorter26

I have 3 packs I would love to get graded. Two cellos and one pack

Sethro

I'm in for three:

79 wax pack.
77 cello (which one to choose!)
77 wax pack in a GAI holder that I would rather have in a PSA holder, so I think I am going to take it out.

miconelegacy

If you took all the money from the last two PSA group breaks, the money that has, or will be spent on grading, it's probably close to 30k!! Lol what's wrong with us??

Sethro

30,000 bucks? Wow!


Clearly compulsion can be as strong as addiction!

artistlost

bump...is this moving forward?

thanks

mathew

leathtech

I'd be willing to toss in 3 to 4 packs.

miconelegacy

Been busy with my family, my wife is very sick as you know. I'm moving my mother down from NH to SC, helping my step father find a teaching job, looking options for living, 2 separate houses, or one big with an in law apt. Went away for the 4th, then to wife's mothers in Raleigh, then my mom was down for the last week, now I can breathe.... Only for a minute though. I want to confirm a couple things with PSA on Monday, then will post an "Official thread".

Would like to get all packages in by Saturday the latest, separate them out, then out to PSA the following Monday. I want to keep it around 100 packs. I have at least 25 of that number.

Talk to you soon,

Charlie9

Mike you can count me in for 5 packs or so. Thanks!
