Card Savers?

chopshop · July 8, 2006 4:13AM

hi, i'm brand new to cards and grading matters, but i have one very valuable card i'll be sending in for grading. however, when i picked up these card savers at my local card shop, i later found out that they are ultra-pro's 4x3 card saver IIs, not the oversized savers. i'm just wondering, since i noticed someone said something in another thread that IIs are acceptable in some cases, can i send the card in a card saver II? anyone else have experience with this? oh, and the card is a 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan if it makes a difference.
thanks so much for any help

Welcome Jon!

To start with - how are you getting the card to PSA?

If you join the club, they will send you 6 cardsavers and all the stuff you need to make your submission.

Do you have a scanner - I wouldn't mind seeing the card.

Anyway - good luck - don't be a stranger - shoes not required.

well, since i'm just getting this one card graded, there is a no-fee courtesy service PSA can use, so unfortunately i dont get any card savers. i don't really know how i'll be sending it quite yet, haven't got that far yet - can you recommend something?
and i guess i'll just be using the regular 10-day, $15 service, since that's the minimum they require for the courtesy service.
i'd love to show you the card, but i dont have a scanner. well, once i get it graded, itll probably be up on ebay, so maybe you can see it there.

I'm not familiar with the "courtesy" service but I would imagine you follow their instructions.

The card is gonna be snug in the holder but I think considering it's only one card, I don't think they'll be sending out the PSA cops or anything?

If you look at the icons on the upper right, you will see a lock on my group - if you press it, you can send me a private message - give me your address, and I will send you a few of the bigger card savers to use in your submission.

Go to your "PROFILE" and scroll down till you see a line that says: ALLOW PRIVATE MESSAGES and press the radio button "ON."

And the answer is no problem - addy and tell me how many you need.

If you get some big card-savers, you have no problem.

If not, you can cut open one side of a CSII ; then, cut
another one and slip it over the opening on the first
one. Probably good to use a penny-saver on the card
b4 you begin.

I have only used the "proper" CSs once, but it IS possible
to hurt a card with the CSII.

What brand of Card Saver 1's are great for protecting cards and to use for submissions to PSA? Where is the best place to get them in terms of price, service, and speed of delivery? I am planning on submitting very soon.

I buy my card savers from Walmart. They come in boxes of 50 or 100 I believe. I can send you some if you just need a few?

A 17 year thread resurrection. Pretty impressive!
