Reminder: deadline for getting cards and payment to me is Friday. I will be packing Friday night, with any luck. You can help get this off on time, which gets everyone their grades and cards back sooner, by making sure your payment is in by then.
Package is shipped. I emailed everyone in the sub tracking info. If you did not get the email, it means that I either do not have your email address or the address I have is incorrect. PM me and I'll get that sorted out.
Yes, thanks very much Casey. My first group sub (and second sub ever) and you made it an easy experience. Saw your results in the other thread--nice job on your cards! My results were more mixed.

Thanks a lot for putting this together. These are the first cards I've ever sent for grading and I got what I expected although I was hoping that Emmitt was good enough for a 10. Very happy about the Barry Sanders as that was my favorite card as a kid.

Thanks a lot. I also have never self subbed. Cards landed right about where I thought they would. The Henderson...I was hoping for an 8.5 or even a 9, but was pretty sure the fisheyes would keep it at an 8. It gave me a bit more confidence in my ability to discern reasonable grades on the cards. I have a few cards I've been sitting on for a long time and I think this may motivate me to join for a year.

Thanks so much for putting this together. I can't wait to get my cards back. I had some wins, but like someone else said above, a few head scratchers. First time under 50% 10's for modern (post 2000's cards) in a sub for me. Oh well, I am happy for the 10's I got and will probably crack the rest. Thanks again.
Thanks for organizing! Very happy with my grades! About everything was ebay purchases generally under $5 so I wasn't expecting much better than 7's.

I have been told that the package from PSA was delivered today, a day ahead of schedule. I will try to get at least some of it shipped out before heading out of town on Thursday and finish up the remaining parts early next week when I return. I was not expecting the order to be done so soon, so it happens to fall directly in the middle of a busy time at work, instead of after, but such is life.
I have heard back from all submittors except for 1. You'll get an email with a tracking number, the cost of return shipping, and my PayPal address as soon as your items are packaged up. Thanks to everyone for being so on top of getting their information to me!
Well, I decided to just punch it out. Everything is going out today (soon to be on trip 3 to the PO), except for CSMontie who needs to reply to my email regarding shipping and DanBessette who asked me to delay shipping until next week. Hope you all enjoy the cards; it's been fun.
rcmb3220--Great job on your sub. The Sanders is my favorite of his three RC's and my favorite card from that set. I know the Score is more valuable, but I always thought the Pro Set action shots were way better looking than the mug shots from the score set. I hope to sub a 10 soon myself too.
Big thanks to Casey for running a first class sub from beginning to end. I received my part of the sub at work this afternoon. Shipped quickly and packed very carefully. Couldn't have asked for a smoother group sub. Only thing I could have hoped for was a different grader, lol. I have generally been very lucky with my previous subs as I have seen eye to eye with my grader for the most part. You always hope for better grades than you get but I have generally never had too much beef with graders, until this one. I'm thankful for the gems, scratching my head on others. Scans below, thanks for checking them out.
The 61's are all within reason for grades although I feel like PSA has been pretty tough on 61's lately. The 5's could have been 6's and the 6 could have been a 7, but I can't argue too much. The Arizin IA being so OC probably got it to a 5 but the Hundley is a head scratcher. Bummed the Durant couldn't pull a 10. Happy to get my first 10 with the Hoops AD. The first Elite I subbed pulled a 10, the last two have been 8.5 and 9, I guess I should stop. Tough luck on the Prizm. Same thing, I subbed one a couple months back and got a 10. Thought this one had a chance too, oops. Alright, this is getting painful. 2 more Prizms that pull 9's. One of them should have gotten a 10. Very frustrating. Back on track with the Brilliance portion of the sub. Happy to get some new AD 10's! Fired up about the 10's on the board here. 6 and 7 on modern cards? What am I doing. They will both be cracked. I see what I missed on the Marquee die cut, there is some chipping in the lettering. I will have to look at my scans to see if they were there before I shipped or if they were made after. The Crusade Blue Refractor 6 is a mystery. I've subbed 3 and gotten 2-10's and a 6. I would rather have that breakdown than three 9's like the Prizms. Wish I could have gotten a 10 on the Jersey card as I don't have one for my AD 10 collection. Good way to end the sub. Steph Curry is my son's favorite player and this 10 will be a birthday present for him in a few weeks. I also have two more Steph Curry auto cards to give him from my last sub (another 10 and a 9). I have been pretty lucky so far with the autos I have subbed: 3 Steph Curry 10's and a 9, 2 Anthony Davis 10's and a 9, and 10's for Chris Paul and Elgin Baylor.
Jed, those cards have great eye appeal, and we're all biased towards our own cards. No harm in that. But you're wrong about Robinson and Kareem and the jeter is not a ten. Sorry.

If you have not paid, please pay now.
If you have sent cards but I have not marked them as received, please PM me.
Thanks
I threw in a few bucks to help with shipping
Thanks!
Utter brutality with my grades, seem to be a pretty harsh go around this time
If I didnt think they would have graded a solid grade higher I'd throw them out haha
Hopefully others made out better

Cards arrived yesterday safe and sound. Thank you again for taking time out to handle this for us.
The grades on the other hand... not impressed.
Jeter 8 - Should have been at least a 9 with a good shot at a 10.
Kareem 6 - Should have been an easy 8.
Robinson 6 - This is a 10. Period.
<< <i>..........Kareem 6 - Should have been an easy 8......... >>
No chance. It's off centered both ways.
