VOUCHERS COMING IN~GROUP SUB - $4.50 RATE/CARD~VOUCHERS COMING IN

Kevin,

When the grades pop on these, are you planning on posting what everyone got? I would love to see that, although 2600 cards may be a major pain.

mariotown · October 11, 2012 9:51AM

I'll send out an email and poll the group and see if everyone is alright with that. Some people might want that private so I would need to find out first.

Kevin

Here is a bump for unpaid orders:

All orders have been paid!

If you still haven't paid, please put a check in the mail so I can get this packaged up and send the information on paying for the shipping to PSA. I am going to a training class all day every day from October 29th - November 2nd and my son is scheduled for delivery on November 8th so I need to keep this moving so it doesn't start to clash with those things.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
You are very kind to do organize this as it is a pain to fill out an invoice of 100 cards. Forget about the time it would take for a 2600 card submission. I noticed that you started this thread back on August 10, 2012 and the cards are still sitting in your home. Your patience and hard work should be commended.

I've really enjoyed it. I've seen all kinds of cards. It's very interesting to see what other people collect. Assuming everyone pays, and I imagine they will, it is actually more like a 2,900 card submission. It's quite impressive.

i would assume you have seen enough favre cards for awhile!!

mariotown · October 18, 2012 3:11AM

I only looked in one box. I didn't want to risk getting them out of order and messing up the line numbers on your list. I did look in one box though since I couldn't resist and carefully put them back in the same order. I think I'm going to put together a box for PSA this weekend of the majority of the stuff that has been paid for. Then I can start collecting the shipping on that box at least. There will have to be 2 boxes since I can't send everything in one box and the insurance required is more than the Post Office even offers on a single box! I need to find out from PSA if they can be sent a bit apart so I can go ahead and send one if possible.

Kevin

jradke4 · October 18, 2012 7:26AM

kevin,

no need to worry about the order. psa will change it up anyway. i would assume my normal 10% mechanical error rate as usual as well, with some of the cards in the completely wrong holders and others just labeled incorrectly. after all i know nothing about favre cards!!

jay

mariotown · October 18, 2012 8:04AM

Only 2 more payments left to collect!

Kevin

mariotown · October 19, 2012 8:57AM

1 more payment and then everyone has paid!

Kevin

mariotown · October 23, 2012 4:53AM

Current rough plan for shipment assuming final payment comes in this week:

1) Take boxes to Post Office Saturday 10/27 for quote. This has to occur on Saturday 10/27 or earlier or it can't happen again until the following Saturday 11/3 due to a training class I am in all week. I will not have the ability to go to the Post Office at all during this week. The final payment is holding this up at this point.
2) Send PayPal invoices to people Saturday/Sunday for shipping to PSA
3) 10/27 - 11/4 collect PayPal money from everyone. Can't ship any boxes until all money is collected.
4) Ship packages 11/5 - 11/7 or earlier. Depends on when all the money is collected.

My wife and I are having a baby on the 8th so if this pushes into that, I can't guarantee what my ability will be to get to the Post Office quickly. I will update this thread with what is going on though. This plan should work if everyone can be diligent about getting their payment in between 10/27 - 11/4 and I receive the final payment for orders no later than Friday of this week.

If we push into the 8th for whatever reason, please be patient if I don't immediately respond. I haven't gone anywhere. I just may not have the availability I usually have or may be at the hospital.

Thanks,
Kevin

jradke4 · October 23, 2012 5:29AM

so who hasnt paid yet. get the $ over there. you sent your cards.

mariotown · October 23, 2012 6:35AM

I think the payment should arrive sometime this week. It was sent recently. I just can't seal up the box and get it all ready until I get it.

Kevin

eagles33 · October 23, 2012 10:50AM

Thanks for doing all this especially with your wife so close to being due. Congrats

Mickey71 · October 24, 2012 2:14AM

If your wife needs that last push to get the baby out..........just tell her all 2900 cards have come back from grading and all the cards and boxes are sitting in the bedroom.

mariotown · October 24, 2012 1:43PM

I packed up one box tonight with 20 orders. I'll take that to the Post Office tomorrow for a quote and should have shipping amounts for everyone either tomorrow or Friday. I will send an email to the people with orders in the first box. I can't ship until everyone pays, so keep an eye on this thread and watch your email.

Kevin

mariotown · October 25, 2012 3:38AM

NOTE: There is no need for PayPal Gift payments. The PayPal fees have been factored into the total and any overage will be refunded if you use PayPal Gift.

Here are the amounts each person owes for box #1:

54topps $10.59
AISAVDBBALLINPHILLY $8.10
alifaxwa2 $5.79
eagles33 $8.03
gopherfan $10.27
jcc6252 $6.06
JHS5120 $7.28
jrboles $7.00
jtdeible $11.79
letsgocapitals $7.87
Littletweed $17.01
mike1297 $5.73
MrG $16.19
oddity $6.86
pdub1819 $6.89
schapko $9.81
Statman $6.82
thedutymon $10.45
trapperlad $12.67
tribefan4ever $38.45

How amounts were calculated:
Insurance was based on the insurance you requested as a percentage of the total multiplied by the cost of insurance
Shipping was based on the number of cards you submitted as a percentage of the total multiplied by the cost of shipping
The cost of a membership was divided 24 ways and added to each total ($117.26 [includes tax]/24 people) = $4.89 / person

People will be able to continue to submit on that membership. I will send out an email on how we can do that.
Please submit payment to "kevin dot oconnor at calripkenjr dot net" replacing the "dot" with "." and the "at" with "@"

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I just paid.

Thanks for doing a great service to this community and handling everything so smoothly! Looking forward to poppage.

John

eagles33 · October 25, 2012 5:59AM

Paid
Thanks

mariotown · October 25, 2012 11:16PM

The following people still need to pay for box #1 shipping to PSA:

Everyone has paid!

Thanks,
Kevin

Littletweed · October 26, 2012 2:12AM

Paid.

Thanks!

mariotown · October 26, 2012 8:13AM

Everyone has paid for shipping to PSA on box #1! I will get box #2 together this weekend / next week and will get a quote on 11/3 for the remaining people!

Kevin

jradke4 · October 26, 2012 11:27PM

Kevin,

Thanks for all the effort. Best wishes to you and your wife. Let me know ASAP on the shipping of box #2.

Jay

JHS5120 · October 30, 2012 1:04AM

Thanks again for doing this and thank you everyone in box #1 for paying in a timely manner!

Just out of curiosity, when will box 1 go out?

mariotown · October 30, 2012 4:32AM

I have to ship both boxes together so they arrive pretty close together. That's what PSA's instructions were. I will be packing up the remaining box and should have a quote either Saturday or first thing Monday for that one. Hopefully, I should have both boxes in the mail sometime next week.

Kevin

carkim · October 30, 2012 9:44AM

Well that relieves my “Box #1 envy”

I got a good laugh on that one.

Kevin

mariotown · November 1, 2012 12:59PM

I will be putting together box #2 this weekend for a quote on Monday. We only have a few people submitting in that box so it should be quick collecting the money for shipment. I won't be able to get a quote out to people until after work so look for it Monday evening in your email.

The following people are in box #2 and will receive an email Monday evening from me (possibly sooner):
carkim
Farmkidd
jradke4

If you can pay Monday night, or even Tuesday morning, I can get the boxes in the mail on Tuesday.

I appreciate everyone's participation in this group submission.

Kevin

mariotown · November 3, 2012 7:48AM

Well it has turned out to be a complete blessing in disguise that I hadn't mailed box #1 yet because some jerk got my credit card # and charged up $10,000 worth of crap from woot.com on it and now it has been closed. A couple people paid me via PayPal and I used that card to pay for their orders so I'll need to open up the box and change out the credit card I used on the forms for them. I'll be packing up both boxes either tonight or tomorrow and will have a quote out on Monday.

Kevin

mariotown · November 4, 2012 12:53PM

Finishing packing up box #2 right now. Should have it to the Post Office around noon tomorrow for a quote. I will try to get the quote out as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Kevin

jradke4 · November 5, 2012 12:24AM

kevin,

since the majority of box two is mine, if you need me to front the $ first to make sure you can get it out before quicker let me know.

jay

mariotown · November 5, 2012 1:55AM

I will have a quote today for it. I'll see how long it takes to collect the money. I wouldn't think it would be more than a couple days. For the last box all 20 people paid within 2-3 days. I appreciate the offer, and if anyone hasn't paid in a couple days, I may take you up on it and collect from them after it is shipped. We have just 3 people to collect from.

Kevin

mariotown · November 5, 2012 5:23AM

The quote for box #2 has been posted to the front page. Please check your email and PM.

The email I sent is reproduced below:

Here are the amounts each person owes for box #2:

PAID - carkim $16.34
PAID - Farmkidd $10.38
PAID - jradke4 $69.97

How amounts were calculated:
Insurance was based on the insurance you requested as a percentage of the total multiplied by the cost of insurance
Shipping was based on the number of cards you submitted as a percentage of the total multiple by the cost of shipping
The cost of a membership was divided 24 ways and added to each total ($117.26 [includes tax]/24 people) = $4.89 / person

People will be able to continue to submit on that membership. I will send out an email on how we can do that.
Please submit payment to "kevin dot oconnor at calripkenjr dot net" replacing the "dot" with "." and "at" with "@".

Thanks,
Kevin

carkim · November 5, 2012 9:35AM

Paid Box #2. Thanks Kevin for all you have done putting this together.

mariotown · November 5, 2012 10:35PM

Box #2 is shipping is completely paid.

Kevin

pdub1819 · November 5, 2012 11:55PM

I'm excited.

How many total cards were sent to you? Can you take a picture and post what the size of the two boxes look like?

mariotown · November 6, 2012 12:22AM

Here are some statistics:

Cards submitted: 2,888 cards
Total insured value shipped to PSA: $36,458.40
Total insured value shipped from PSA back to us: $40,752.50
Total grading fees: $12,996.00
Total shipping costs from PSA to us: $1,199.35
Number of participants: 24 people
Total cost savings: 2,888 * ($5.25-$4.50) = $2,166.00 + $110 membership fees / person

I'll try to take a picture right before I send the cards when I get to the Post Office.

Kevin

jradke4 · November 6, 2012 12:24AM

what is amazing is how much extra space the cs's take up.

mariotown · November 6, 2012 12:29AM

...and how heavy they are.

mariotown · November 6, 2012 2:30AM

Boxes were mailed around noon today. I'm adding the delivery confirmation numbers into the first post.

Kevin

mariotown · November 6, 2012 2:49AM

I took a picture of the boxes but can't seem to email it to myself from my phone. I'll post it when I get home.

Kevin

jradke4 · November 6, 2012 5:35AM

Kevin,

Thanks for all the work on this. Best wishes to your wife and the child that is on the way.

Jay

mariotown · November 6, 2012 6:23AM

Thanks. My wife is very happy I have this done and shipped out!
