How can we do a large group sub of Post 1956 cards?

bowlarama

I've grown impatient waiting on a PSA Collector Club special. I was wondering how many cards we would need to get together to get our own group sub going and what type of pricing we could expect. I have been holding on to a big stack of 1960s cards that I want to submit

Do the $7 for 100 cards one in bulk offered.

That is as good is it will get special wise until after National. We may be able to get 6.50 if we had a few thousand cards. Call them an ask and start a thread based on what they say.

If you have more than 1,000 items in your sub, you will be eligible to negotiate a much more favorable rate.

The tricky part is getting the quantity required. It has been years since this board did a large group sub in the 1-2K range. Good luck.

It is much easier to do a group sub if you can just find 2 to 5 people with relatively larger quantity in the hundreds each, than having tons of people w/ 10 or 20 items. Huge kudos to Mike for taking on a monumental task w/ the PSA/DNA sub lately, but I don't think most of us have that amount of work and patience in us.

They won't publish it but if you call the customer service representative there with whom you're the most familiar, discuss the topic with them and I can tell you you can get a notable discount on the per-card fees. Turnaround time is another story though.

If anyone is doing this I have 100-150 cards I could contribute. I would do it myself but I don't have the credibility on the boards.

I was able to get them to offer a $7 bulk rate on post 1956 cards with a max declared value of $99 per card.

The preferred quantity is 500 cards. I have close to 200 that I need to submit. I was going to see if my spouse would be interested in helping on the logistics end of this if anyone else wanted to jump in.

That is the standard deal for 100 cards

Much better pricing for 1,000+...
