Tall Boys and Regular Cards on same submission form?

firstbase23

Just spoke to customer service and they stated that tall boys and regular sized cards can be listed on submission form. Always thought they had to be on different forms with different shipping charges, Has anyone done this? Just curious.

Yes, tall boys can but other "giant" sized cards can't. Actually just got a bulk order back recently where I subbed 4 1969 Topps basketball.

The info here seems incorrect. It has been a long-standing PSA policy that tall boy cards and standard size cards must be on separate sub forms and the customer must pay for separate shipping on each size portion of their order, but the cards can be combined in the same box sent and count towards a combined total quantity to meet minimum requirements. For example, monthly special 50-card minimum can have the 50 broken down into any combination of standard + tallboy, whether it is 49:1, 25:25, or anything in between, but the two different holder sizes must be split over two separate sub forms.

Sometimes people have trouble with the electronic forms forcing you to add items to meet the minimum quantity rather then end it with a lower count. Customers who have not figured out the work-around might be adding both holder-size portions of their orders to the same form, and then later are no doubt being charged for separate shipping fees while the PSA staff has to split the order themselves. The way to fill out your forms is (with the 50-card min. example), don't fill out all 50 items at once. Begin entering items on your sub form. Once you have finished entering your standard size items, if you have not met the min quantity, the website will not let you progress on towards the completion/payment screens. Instead, you will then choose to close your browser window when you have finished the amount of cards you have for that particular holder size. Then open your browser again, and when you log in to the PSA site, instead of going to the sub form line-item entry page, your pending partially-complete sub will open up at the completion/payment pages for you, bypassing the blockage. Repeat the process for your tall-boy holder size items. Finally, as long as you place both subs in the same box and fill the top right corner out correctly that says # of orders in submission (in this example case, 2) and # of items (50), you will meet the requirements to qualify for the separate pricing.

Clarifying what I assume is an incomplete understanding in the OP, I'm confident that PSA is still charging for separate shipping fees for the different holder sizes.

Greg, you are incorrect. I just had a sub come back a couple of weeks ago where there were 4 tall boys included with the bulk order, not on a separate order and it wasn't a separate shipping charge. Tall boys are considered regular sized cards.

FWIW, I've had some assumed to be standard size SIFKs that ended up being too large come back in tallboy holders w/o separate shipping as well.

I submitted some cards at the National last year. Four of them were 69 Topps basketball. The PSA rep told me to put them on the same form as the regular size cards.

Wow, that is quite a surprising change guys!

Kyle: agreed, I've had that happen too, where some items I expected to come back in standard holders were instead sealed in the larger ones, whether tallboy or thick/patch style.

This is great to hear that Tallboys don't have to be separated,I have a couple Jordan Spanish stickers that i planned on subbing that are 3 1/8" x 4 5/8", I wasn't sure if they'd fall under the Tallboy category (3 1/2" x 5 1/8") seeing that they're smaller in size.

What all topps sets are tall boy from the regular issues? Are there any that appear "tall boy" but are actually oversized? I just want to make sure its not a micro difference here.
