January Group Sub - UPDATE 3/16 TALLBOY& REGULAR POPPAGE, waiting for super sized

mknez · December 31, 2014 8:26AM

I'm putting together another group sub this month under special #1:

REGULAR SIZED -This is on!
For cards from 1956 to present.
All Sports and non-sports cards.
Cards must be valued under $100 each.
Turnaround time is approximately 50 business days, but can vary with demand.

Cost will be $6.25 per card for grading and shipping to and from PSA. Return shipping from me to you will be figured out once the sub is done.
I need to have the cards in my hands by Friday, Jan 23. If there are enough cards, I will split into two subs again, with one containing "regular" cards that will probably pop relatively quickly.

TALLBOY -This is on!
For cards from 1956 to present.
All Sports and non-sports cards.
Cards must be valued under $100 each.
Turnaround time is approximately 50 business days, but can vary with demand.

Cost will be $6.25 per card for grading and shipping to and from PSA. Return shipping from me to you will be figured out once the sub is done.
I need to have the cards in my hands by Friday, Jan 23.

There is also a supersized special this month - $12 for cards valued under $250.
Cost will be $14.00* per card for grading and shipping to and from PSA. Return shipping from me to you will be figured out once the sub is done.
*unless we get 25 cards, then it will be $13.00. Right now we have 10 committed.
I need to have the cards in my hands by Friday, Jan 23.

If you are interested, please post or PM me.

Thanks,
Mike

I can do 10ish.

trapperlad · December 31, 2014 10:37AM

Hi Mike, I was wondering if you would be willing to do another tall boy sub also this month for post 56 cards. I have about 33 to sub, thanks trapperlad

firstbase23 · December 31, 2014 2:17PM

Mike,
I would be in for a few.

Matt

JustinsShoebox · December 31, 2014 2:19PM

Mike

I'll be in for 10.

Thanks
Justin

dennis07 · December 31, 2014 11:46PM

I'd like to be in for 10-15.

GeneralJim · January 1, 2015 12:13AM

Im gonna go through my stuff i might have a few to send in .

WalterSobchak · January 1, 2015 1:21AM

I just got my cards back from Mike's November group sub. Professional from beginning to end, with prompt communication at all times. Don't hesitate to use him!

(Also, Mike, I have a few more I'd like to send your way for this one. I'll PM you when I figure out how many.)

mknez · January 1, 2015 11:06AM

I would be willing to add a tallboy sub as well if we can get to 50 committed. Trapperlad has over 30, so we are most of the way there. Please post or pm if you have some tallboys to sub.

slum22 · January 1, 2015 12:50PM

Mike,

Count me in for some (how many depends on if I get a chance to rip some junk and modern wax between now and the time you need the cards). Thanks for putting this on.

Steve

skrezyna23 · January 1, 2015 1:08PM

Forgive my ignorance but is this correct? Supersized holder (Over 3-1/2" x 5-1/8") ?

mknez · January 2, 2015 4:43AM

tallboy holders go up to 3 1/2 x 5 1/16. Anything bigger is supersized.

max size for supersized is 5 3/4 x 8 or 4 1/4 x 10.

Supersized can be mixed among the two sizes.

MULLINS5 · January 2, 2015 4:46AM

Just want to say thanks to Mike for the last sub that he did. The cards arrived today safely and were packed very well. Thank you again Mike!

mknez · January 3, 2015 10:11AM

We need about 10 more tallboys to reach 50. Anyone else have some they want to send?

thunderdan · January 3, 2015 10:32AM

I'm probably good for a few regular size, mike

gregmo32 · January 3, 2015 10:34AM

I can send 10 Tallboys from the 1969 and 1970 Topps Basketball.

Would these be at the $6.25 level?

mknez · January 3, 2015 2:08PM

Greg,
If we hit 50 tallboys, they would be at the 6.25 cost (5.50 + .75) plus return shipping.

Mike

kmnorton · January 3, 2015 3:40PM

Mike,

I have about 8-10 modern that I would like to put through if there's room.

Kurt

firstbase23 · January 4, 2015 4:55AM

Mike,
I have 4-5 tallboys that I can send in.

gregmo32 · January 4, 2015 5:41AM

Are 1976 Topps Basketball still considered tall boys?

I am building a lot bigger stack than I expected to contribute, as I was bummed to miss out on the sub that was being put together last month.

mknez · January 4, 2015 8:17AM

76 Topps basketball is a tallboy.

slum22 · January 4, 2015 6:23PM

Mike,

How does it work for thicker modern cards? There seems to be a pretty wide ranges of thicknesses even for modern cards. Even some base cards can be pretty thick. I have subbed some patch cards that ended up in thicker holders. What is the size limit for thickness for this sub? Are thick patch cards eligible for group subs? Thanks again for putting this on.

Steve

mknez · January 5, 2015 2:20AM

Steve,
I called customer service about the thickness question. They told me that as long as the height and width are within the limits, they use customer holders to account for card thickness, and any thickness is allowed on the group sub.

Mike

slum22 · January 5, 2015 3:07AM

Mike,

Thanks for calling them and finding the answer. So it sounds like as long as the card height and width is standard then the thickness should not be an issue to include in this sub. Last time I subbed pack issued autograph cards in your group sub. So by the sound of it, as long as the value is <$100 then we have the green light to send patch cards, auto cards and patch auto cards as long as they are modern pack issued standard sized cards on this sub. Does this sound correct? Thanks again for spearheading this for the group!

RipublicaninMass · January 5, 2015 4:30AM

T3's are EXCLUDED

I have my own sub going of them if anyone wants to jump in

Pm for details

Largentcollector · January 5, 2015 11:13AM

I always thought you had to pay the extra (separate) shipping charge for this service to be mixed in.? Is this not the case for Mike's sub? The extra shipping has always kept me from subbing the ones I have.

Thanks, BTW I saw the new thick card holders on eBay and they look sweet!

gregmo32 · January 6, 2015 4:32AM

Would they accept a card in a toploader for 1976 Topps Basketball? I don't have any card savers that size and have two or three to submit.

mknez · January 9, 2015 2:21AM

Regular sized is on - we have plenty to hit the minimum, room for a few more.

Tallboy is on - we are close to the minimum if everyone comes through, looking for a few more to be sure.

Supersize is on - no minimum required, but if we get to 25, the return postage drops to $1 per card.

Great opportunity to get some of those large cards graded for player and team sets!

pm me for details, I need the cards in my hands by Friday, Jan 23.

Mike

Huncrelan · January 9, 2015 7:20AM

Can someone explain how you determine the value when you sub a card. The tallboy sub states under $100 and I'm not sure what to value this card. I would like to send it in and have it graded. Does it qualify in raw state or after the sub. I will show a scan and any info would be appreciated.

bobbyw8469 · January 9, 2015 8:24AM

That card looks like a '6' from the scan, so that is around a $95 card. Just squeaking in under the value. However, if it '7's, then it is around $170. You can tell better than I can though, cause you have it in hand. Does it look like a '6' or a '7'?

Huncrelan · January 9, 2015 9:08AM

I don't know what it will grade it could be a 7. What would happen if it did come back a 7? Would I owe more money for the grading or would they reject it and return it ungraded? I don't want to bother sending it in to be graded if it would turn out to be a hassle for me or the op.

Davis · January 9, 2015 9:25AM

Any chance of getting together the 25 minimum for a pre-1956 group sub? I have 1 I've been waiting to sub and it doesnt make sense to do it by itself.

Davis

skrezyna23 · January 9, 2015 9:37AM

Does anyone know if 1989 LJN Talking Baseball cards are considered tallboys? I don't have it in hand to measure.

mknez · January 9, 2015 10:29AM

<< <i>Does anyone know if 1989 LJN Talking Baseball cards are considered tallboys? I don't have it in hand to measure. >>

These are 3 1/4 x 5 1/4, which is a tallboy

mknez · January 11, 2015 8:50AM

friendly reminder to get things together this week.

firstbase23 · January 11, 2015 11:37AM

Mike,
I will ship this week.

Mine are going in the mail today, Mike.

Thanks!

As soon as I receive a few cards in the mail, my package will be headed your way.

GeneralJim · January 12, 2015 10:59AM

Should have my cards in the mail by Friday .

dennis07 · January 12, 2015 12:22PM

Here's a couple of old threads that may help answer the declared value question asked earlier.

Thread 1

Thread 2

firstbase23 · January 14, 2015 2:06PM

Mike,
I will ship tomorrow by Priority Mail.

Matt

bobbyw8469 · January 18, 2015 8:23AM

Has anybody heard from Mike recently? I sent him a PM about the Tall Boy submission and have not heard anything back.

mknez · January 18, 2015 8:42AM

Sorry for not responding to your message from yesterday Bobby, I can't do anything about it until the cards arrive!

Reminder to everyone - no mail tomorrow, get your cards in the post asap if you want to join in!

JustinsShoebox · January 22, 2015 5:02AM

Bumping to keep this fresh.
