WE ARE POPPED!!!! - Anyone interested in Piggybacking on a $10 PSA/DNA Blue Flip Submission

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 3:41AM

I heard back from Sonia at PSA/DNA. Here's what they can offer us:

$10 per item declared value of $250. Because I personally was hammered my last submission for shipping, I'm going to ask a flat $10.50 per item submitted. You will be responsible for shipping to me, $10.50 per item, and exact shipping back. I will take care of shipping to and from PSA/DNA - including the insurance.

In order to qualify for the discount - we need at least 180 items. Those of you who have said you'd be interested, if you could confirm numbers that'd be great. Items that will qualify include any item that'll fit into a 3x5 index card holder - NOTHING LARGER

Again - $10.50 for $250 declared value or less. I will ask that you have your items to me by August 31st, and I will mail them off to PSA/DNA on the Tuesday after Labor Day assuming we hit 180. I will keep this front post updated as people confirm numbers so I can see where we stand in regards to the 180.

After you've confirmed, PM me what you have in the following format: Or if that's confusing, I'll provide you an excel template to use to fill out.

Qty / Sport, Historical, or Entertainment / Item or Type / Primary Autograph / Declared value.
Example:
2/Football/Card/Peyton Manning/$50 Each
1/Football/Cut/Jim Finks/$125

Payment by Paypal gift/paypal regular (enough to cover the fees)/cash/money order/check accepted.

Paypal address is dhohbein@bepc.com

kerryville · July 30, 2012 3:56AM

I would be in for 2 to 4 cards.

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 4:00AM

<< I would be in for 2 to 4 cards. >>

Sounds good. I'll add you to the list. There is no minimum qty either. You will solely be responsible for shipping to me, and shipping back to you. I'll take care of the shipping to/from PSA.

Ironmanfan · July 30, 2012 4:06AM

i'd be in for five

What is better for the value of a autographed card a Blue or Red flip?

alifaxwa2 · July 30, 2012 4:09AM

Not more than 5, probably 3.5x5 inch

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 4:10AM

<< What is better for the value of a autographed card a Blue or Red flip? >>

The PSA collectors will say the red flip because you authenticate/grade the card at the same time. Resale value wise, I've actually had better luck with the blue flip - as that's what most people looking for autos are familiar with. But in reality the red ones should - even though it doesn't always play out that way.

blee1 · July 30, 2012 4:10AM

Depending on price, I'd probably have 10-20

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 4:13AM

I'm going to try for $10 again, but I'm going to be conservative and assume $12 per item. I'm guessing the $10 monthly specials are a thing of the past now. But I'll try my best

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 4:21AM

<< Not more than 5, probably 3.5x5 inch >>

More Star Wars ones? I tried sending a few TTM for my son from your list - he got James Earl Jones, a Carrie Fisher ghost (but Leia is his pretend girlfriend so he was happy), Bobba Fett, and Yoda back. Thanks again for the help. Do you have any dupes for sale??

MeteoriteGuy · July 30, 2012 4:29AM

I have 5-6 cards.

eyebone · July 30, 2012 4:53AM

derrick

can the "homemade" cards that doran used to make be holdered in the blue flip? either way count me in for about 5.

thanks, eyebone

<< derrick

As long as they will fit into a holder that would be smaller than the 8x10 holder, custom cuts can be encapsulated in the blue flip.

PowderedH2O · July 30, 2012 5:05AM

can the "homemade" cards that doran used to make be holdered in the blue flip?

They certainly can. On my last blue flip submission, a fellow CU forum member piggybacked with me and he submitted a very nice doran custom and it received a very nice grade.

hookem · July 30, 2012 9:26AM

I have a Tommy Nobis rookie I just bought on the board that I would love to get slabbed.

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 9:30AM

<< I have a Tommy Nobis rookie I just bought on the board that I would love to get slabbed. >>

OK - just the one??

MizzouTigerFan · July 30, 2012 9:57AM

I would be interested in atleast 4-5 maybe more.

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 9:59AM

<< I would be interested in atleast 4-5 maybe more. >>

Got you down.

CSUrunandstun · July 30, 2012 10:48AM

I have 3 auto'd cards to throw in if it is still OK...

CSUrunandstun · July 30, 2012 11:03AM

3 cards, not 5 please...

abcoltsfan · July 30, 2012 11:04AM

I have 3 I would like to send in If I can. Thanks.

ROCKDJRW · July 30, 2012 11:15AM

I would be in for five to ten.

Glad he got some good successes. Chewie signs for $20-$25 through his site. You can send in or purchase pics direct.

1 will be a palpatine custom (depending on when this sub is due), not sure what the rest will be. Possibly signed star wars CCG cards. I have a few duplicates on CCG cards. Not the main cast though. I will take a look and see what I could part with in the next day or two.

EAsports · July 30, 2012 11:22AM

How long do these subs usually take?

I could do 3-5, but I'll be moving soon.

PENCIL me in for 5, and I can let you know once we get more particulars.

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 11:26AM

<< How long do these subs usually take?

The last one I did took almost the full 45 business days - so it was a long one. I'm guessing it'll be 2-3 weeks before I'd be able to sub it, so I'm guessing it'll pop in 3 months or so - assuming we even have enough to qualify for a bulk submission.

I can hold onto anything you'd like me to as well until you are finished moving. Don't let that be a determining factor as far as you being worried about getting them somehow.

yankeeno7 · July 30, 2012 12:08PM

I think I have 2-3 I can send

EchoCanyon · July 30, 2012 12:15PM

i have 5-7

i know there's different genres of autos in the submission, but why does it take 4x the time? from my may/june subs they each took exactly 10 business days to pop. i'm waiting to see if there will be another $12 special for august.

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 9:28PM

Because at the time we made the submission, everyone was running long. I'm still waiting on a 9 item submission that logged in the beginning of July. It just depends on how busy they are - and with the National around the corner I'm going to be conservative and say it'll be a longer wait. We just got done with back-to-back $12 submissions, so I'm also going to guess it'll be a few months before we see another one of those. Which is why I decided to try and put it together now (of course I've been wrong on assumptions before).

raiderguy10 · July 30, 2012 10:56PM

I sent Sonia an email this morning, and got the out of office notification. I forwarded my note onto Kristie, and she said we will need to wait until Sonia's back from the Naitonal on August 7th to see about our bulk submission. So if you are interested let me know, because the more we have the better chance we have of qualifying.

mccardguy1 · July 31, 2012 12:21AM

I would be in for 5 or so dependening on price. And if my work bonus comes in....I might be in for more!!

eagles33 · July 31, 2012 2:00AM

I have 1 card and 1 ticket that would prob fit a regular size slab. Are tickets ok for the blue flip and does anyone know if PSA will include the same details they do for tickets on the red flip just no grade?
Thanks

raiderguy10 · July 31, 2012 2:08AM

<< I have 1 card and 1 ticket that would prob fit a regular size slab. Are tickets ok for the blue flip and does anyone know if PSA will include the same details they do for tickets on the red flip just no grade?

They can go in the blue flip. But it'll be labeled just as a ticket - it won't authenticate the ticket. I have this, but these obviously won't have an auto grade on it. I actually am submitting another ticket exactly like this one for this sub if we can work it out.

churchiscool · July 31, 2012 2:52AM

i have 7-8 regular size sports cards ready to go. if there's no special i would be in for at least that. if this takes a few weeks to finalize i might have a couple more cards. (at around $12 or under)

NamesJay · July 31, 2012 4:13AM

Are there different charges for different autographs?

For example, do celebrities and athletes cost the same for authentication?

Dboneesq · July 31, 2012 4:17AM

<< Are there different charges for different autographs?

When there is a "Special" it is the same price for everyone. HOWEVER, there will be a limit on the value of the autograph. If the SPECIAL is for autographed cards with a maximum value of $100.00, they will NOT slab a MANTLE or President Nixon, for example.

EAsports · July 31, 2012 4:43AM

Great. Pencil me in for 5, then.

I should have everything resolved by early October(ish) anyway.

Foo3112 · July 31, 2012 8:27AM

This is awesome.

Can you put me down for 3 cards please.

Thanks!
Marc

ok. hoping it'll work out for us

dpuccio · July 31, 2012 9:05PM

I would probably be in for 2-4

Yankees001 · July 31, 2012 9:10PM

Right now I have 3 to send in.

I have a few (18) out to be signed right now. So depending on when this happens, I could have more.

Actually 2 now with the possibility of 2 more if I get them back in time.

raiderguy10 · August 1, 2012 9:43PM

As of now I'll give Sonia a quote of 135 - 129 card sized and 6 oversized. I'll also let her know that if she can pull off a $250 for $10, that there'll be more coming. I plan on emailing her the morning of the 7th before she gets back to work from the Naitonal, so I'll keep counting anyone interested until then.

churchiscool · August 2, 2012 1:44AM

as of right now i have 10 cards to go @$12...if you can get a $250@$10 deal i'm in for a few more.

uyu906 · August 2, 2012 3:29AM

Can 3 x 5 index cards be sent in?

raiderguy10 · August 2, 2012 3:38AM

<< Can 3 x 5 index cards be sent in? >>

Don't know if anything can be sent in yet - but yes I'm including index cards as an oversized item. So let me know how many you have and we'll see early next week what they say.

Huggyface · August 2, 2012 6:46AM

If they will lower the price to $10 and take bigger items I would probably send in 20+ Perez Steele Cards

raiderguy10 · August 2, 2012 8:49AM

<< If they will lower the price to $10 and take bigger items I would probably send in 20+ Perez Steele Cards >>

OK - I'm going to hold off on adding you until we find out. Again I'm thinking we will get $12, but will hope for the best. I'll also tell her I've got lots more lined up if we can get to $10 - maybe that'll help

raiderguy10 · August 4, 2012 12:37AM

Bump. I'm emailing Sonia a count Monday morning so it's there when she gets back Tuesday. If you want to be included please let me know.

hockeycrazy · August 4, 2012 6:04AM

At $10 per, I would have between 10-20. Dave

raiderguy10 · August 4, 2012 6:28AM

<< At $10 per, I would have between 10-20. Dave >>

ok. I'll leave it of though and use it as incentive to get $10 :-)
