<< <i>To all the few people who doubted me why don't you just contact me directly and I would prove to you my integrity and honesty. >>
Sorry but you have been here just over a year and have 100 posts to your name. People who have been here far longer have flaked out over way less. Call me paranoid but I would not have sent valuable cards to a complete stranger. Your mileage may vary!
You're going to send your cash and cards to some unknown person just to save 50 cents per card? >>
+1. I knew card guys were cheap, but wow...
...and laying that aside, how does one keep accurate track of whose cards are whose, and is he willing to accept responsibility for them getting lost, misplaced, stolen? What a nightmare.

Not a question of being cheap. To some guys saving a few hundred bucks on grading fees is substantial. Also it's not hard to do as it's been done by a few board members with no issues. I think the main issue is trusting someone who has not much of a track record here with thousands of dollars worth of cards.
Thanks for giving this a shot Scott. Don't sweat the people with concerns, there's so many shadeballs that come and go on this forum that its natural for people to have their guard up and for good reason.
I do really like your idea of dropping the sub off directly to PSA at a show. It obviously reduces cost by eliminating shipping to them but also reduces the risk slightly. I think we should try this again as group with the goal of subbing at the National in August. I'm thinking people who are attending the National could physically bring their cards with them, we could have a big group meet up, get the order together and then deliver them to PSA. It would be a great way to meet members and would reduce the risk of people losing their cards almost to nothing.
It would also give us plenty of time to hopefully negotiate a rate below $5.

What do you guys think? >>
That is a great idea about the National. I'll be there, I just won't have many cards to have graded then, as I'm subbing about 300 for my 75 Topps registry set at the Sun Times show. But I'd be in for meeting up with some of the people on this forum.
What really killed the group sub is the $5.50 March special. At $5 per card group rate compared to $7 normal sub fee, it is a substantial savings if you have 50 or more cards, not to mention 300. I agree that at only $0.50 more I too would rather do the $5.50 rate if I was any one of you guys instead of submitting them to somebody you never met.

If it's not so hard to do then why not do it yourself? I know I wouldn't want that kind of responsibility for thousands of others' cards.
<< <i>If it's not so hard to do then why not do it yourself? >>
Because I don't want to. That doesn't mean it's hard. It just means I didn't make the offer. For no other reason than the other 95% of board members who never ran one.

Thanks for trying to put the group sub together. I'd be on board if you want to do try another group sub in the future.
