Hello all,

Just getting back into the grading game after several years away. Sent in (45) cards recently, (6) from the membership and (39) under the March special. Was pleased with the timeliness of the results. Overall was happy with the results with a few exceptions. Glad that I had one card that "paid for" the submissions (77 Yount).

Before shipping I guessed what range the grade might be. Placed those in parentheses at the end of the line.

This submission was mainly from ebay and local raw card purchases - lots of OPC, my new interest. The 77 fb were from a clean set that I received many 9's and a 10 from last year. I picked what I thought were the best remaining commons in hopes of 9's and possibly a 10, probably won't do that again.

Any feedback appreciated.
