Just want to say kudos to PSA for allowing free grading for those who reach 90% on a set registry, even if it's a team set. I am not an active PSA member, as I do not have many cards to submit, so the fact that they do this for non-members is pretty darn cool. Fairly quick poppage too (logged in on July 6). Have been sitting on these for a while. Grades are all as expected except where noted:
1 1 18725776 N1: EVIDENCE OF TRIMMING 1954 TOPPS 201 AL KALINE Card US (was N5: Altered Stock on it's first submission, raw mail purchase from SCD in pre-ebay days)
2 1 18725777 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1955 TOPPS 195 ED ROEBUCK Card US
3 1 18725778 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 OC 1955 TOPPS 181 ROY McMILLAN Card US
4 1 18725779 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 OC 1955 TOPPS 169 BOB OLDIS Card US
5 1 18725780 NEAR MINT 7 1955 TOPPS 64 GUS TRIANDOS Card US (cracked out of a damaged PSA 7 holder)
6 1 18725781 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1955 TOPPS 180 CLEM LABINE Card US
7 1 18725782 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1955 TOPPS 178 BOBBY ADAMS Card US
8 1 18725783 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1955 TOPPS 189 PHIL RIZZUTO Card US (very disappointed, as nice as all other cards in the lot with great centering, was hoping for a 7)
9 1 18725784 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1955 TOPPS 167 TOM CASAGRANDE Card US (expected this, card had spider crease)
10 1 18725785 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1955 TOPPS 183 TONY JACOBS Card US (expected this, card has spider crease)
11 1 18725786 NEAR MINT 7 1955 TOPPS 173 BOB KLINE Card US
I went back and forth between requesting no qualifers or not, as I knew the Oldis and McMillan were razor sharp but off-center for sure. Decided the 8OC would describe the cards better than a 6.
The Adams, Jacobs, and Roebuck will go into my PSA 4-6 1955 set, leaving me just 5 more to go. The Kaline was supposed to cut the number I needed for my PSA 4-6 1954 set down to 3 (was hoping it would pull a 4, probably closer to a 3.5 assuming it would grade). Below is a scan of the Kaline just for grins.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the grades! It looks like you got yours a week quicker than I did. Damn you! They probably graded our subs together, since they were almost all 55's.
Free is good! Now if they'll jsut give us a $5 grading special for August, I can finish off my 55 set.
