How would you submit these?

I have 150 cards from the 1980s to submit. How would you submit them:
a) 6 lots of 20 and 1 lot of 30
b) 3 lots of 50
c) all one lot

I'm only asking because of a concern of a grader on a bad day ruining my whole submission, but if you don't think that's a valid concern then choose c. This will be my first real submission (excluding my free gradings) so your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Submit them all at once. It will be more economical for you. The "Grader of Death" thing is overstated.
    Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!

    I agree with DH. Send them all at once and do the bulk
    submission. There is no "grader of death". If your cards suck, then
    they just suck.

    Send no more than 100 in at a time keeping the shipping cost to $28 and change. After that it jumps to $52. I made the mistake of miscounting the cards I sent in and it ended up costing me $36 to get those two extra cards graded.

    CD- excellent point. In looking at the pricing for return postage it would be cheaper to send in a lot of 100 and a lot of 50....of course, the send-to postage of two packages may help to level that out.

    I'm not sure how actively you buy, but you could just wait to get 50 more you want to submit and keep the rotation of 100 at a time going. That's what I do now.

    Yeah I was thinking about that....though my cards qualify for the April special so I gotta think fast.
