<< Someone got a good price on the Joe Carter PSA 10 rookie here....Joe Carter PSA 10 >>

Arnie I can tell you one thing the 9 you sold me could not have missed being a 10 by much.O By the way I am waiting for a sub that was entered in November also.

It is what it is.

alnavman · December 14, 2006 10:16AM

WOW....someone still has that sharp eye for quality cards......way to go Bill.......

alnavman · December 14, 2006 10:24AM

Bug, you and I must have stirred up someone at PSA...my grades hit today also.....here is my submission from 11/15. Overall I'm real happy. The mini's are from the 75 case break that went on a few months back.....much as I thought with a lot of OC cards...I was real happy with the 72 topps cards and I must have the touch on most of the basketball...must have missed some creases on the two 5's.....

Nothin' for me yet.

ArnyVee · December 15, 2006 12:01AM

Is it 45 calendar or business days? Sheesh....

BugOnTheRug · December 15, 2006 2:32AM

Arny - They gotta notice your sub has been pushed way out. So, in the spirit of getting Arny's sub done I'm sending this note to psa:

"Dear PSA:
Our buddy Arny has waited a loooooong time for his grades. Since it's Friday, why not finish it and start next week fresh, knowing one of psa's faithful submitters

- you get the idea."

Think it will work?

Al - congrats on the grades. I like your 72 Rose psa 8/9 'combo'!

alnavman · December 15, 2006 4:08AM

PSA must be getting caught up....I got a message today telling me that the submission I sent on 11/30 was loaded.....now let's see how long it takes for the grades....this is a submission with mostly 84 Donruss in it......al.

alnavman · December 16, 2006 8:18AM

Anyone out there tonight??

ArnyVee · December 16, 2006 10:51PM

I was workin' last night.

But, I'm on this morning!

Actually, I wanted to post my want/need list for those folks that might have some of these hidden away for me!

#5 Leon Durham STEELE
#7 Jack Clark STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#8 Dave Dravecky STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#14 Bob Horner STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#15 Lance Parrish STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#16 Matt Young STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#21 Larry Parrish STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#24 Pedro Guerrero STEELE (Have a PSA 8)
#209 Bobby Ramos
#435 Edwin Nunez
#471 Milt Wilcox
#472 Tippy Martinez
#480 Joel Youngblood
#482 Mike Fitzgerald
#535 Bob Horner
#539 Alan Ashby (Have a PSA 8)
#544 Danny Darwin
#554 Rusty Staub
#582 Dan Spillner
#597 Luis Sanchez
#605 Alfredo Griffin

....that's it! 13 cards needed and an additional 8 cards to upgrade. That would complete my master & basic sets in all PSA 9 or better! So, someone keep submitting these puppies and get me a 9 or 10!

fandango · December 17, 2006 12:40AM

ArnyVee, have you ever seen the 1986 Donruss Registry? the Finest Possible Set Rating is only 2.34 even though there are 660 cards....to compare , the 1988 score set even has a finest possible set rating of 9.42 with also 660 cards....my question is WHY is the 1986 Donruss rating at 2.34 when most sets are around 8.00...the 1986 Donruss Set certainly has equal collectability to the rest of the 1980's sets, so why the 2.34? Thanks

alnavman · December 17, 2006 2:55AM

I think I'm sick....I've got 84 D fever......I put together another submission last night......will go in mail tomorrow.....90 cards in all, mostly basketball but a number of 84 Donruss....I think I duplicated some from the 45 card submission that they already have but oh well.....al.

Stingray · December 17, 2006 9:23AM

Look forward to seeing what you get for grades. I find myself bidding on cards when I know I should take a little Christmas break.

alnavman · December 18, 2006 9:21AM

I know this is off topic but had to show you all some cards from my latest submission. They arrived today and I'm happy as can be...no 84D but these I like....

alnavman · December 18, 2006 9:23AM

I was disappointed in the Gibson but more than happy with the Juniors!!

Stingray · December 18, 2006 11:50PM

It is nice to see all the updates to the 84 Donruss set registeries. Quite a few of us seem to be adding here and there. Makes it tough to move up, but it is nice to know this set is popular!!

ArnyVee · December 19, 2006 11:36AM

Here are some cards that I received recently....

julen23 · December 19, 2006 2:37PM

Sounds like a bargain!!

ArnyVee · December 19, 2006 10:02PM

<<

Yup....I was outbid at the last moment or I would've had quite a deal there.

julen23 · December 19, 2006 10:32PM

why is demand seeming to subside on this card?

julen

Stingray · December 21, 2006 12:15AM

What happened??? I was high bidder on that PSA 10 Jack Fimple card and received an e-mail just a minute ago saying my bid had been cancelled. The auction has ended?? Great!!

Just had my bid on the Rudy Law card cancelled!!

ArnyVee · December 21, 2006 2:37AM

Same thing happened with me on the Dave Stewart PSA 10 card (#280061110790) and I'm sending them a note to see what "error" in the listing prompted to cancel the bids. We'll see what the response is.

They wouldn't pull the auctions because the dollar figures were too low, would they?

BugOnTheRug · December 21, 2006 3:29AM

What were your winning bids on those cards? Sounds like this guy needs a good arse-whoppin. I'll be staying away from this goober nonetheless...............

Stingray · December 21, 2006 3:41AM

<< What were your winning bids on those cards? Sounds like this guy needs a good arse-whoppin. I'll be staying away from this goober nonetheless............... >>

The auctions were ending tonight, not over yet. Wonder if he got an offer he could not refuse?? Arny, I see you still have high bid on that Anderson card.

alnavman · December 21, 2006 6:38AM

Hi guys, I had a bunch of bids canceled also.....if the guy was scared off by the low dollars he was seeing that was kind of stupid....just about everyone of the cards had multiple folks bidding on them......I've won items in the past from the same person with no problems...I agree that someone must have made an offer to him he couldn't refuse....although my understanding is that is against ebay policies....

mosaic · December 21, 2006 1:16PM

Is the seller on these psa_registry_gems?

I'm not bidding on any of the 84 Donruss, but I was looking at some other of his auctions... not going to place a bid if that's how he works.

mmsportscards · December 21, 2006 7:09PM

hi guys,

could you tell me the dif between the steele and steel. Is it the writing on the bottom right reverse.

thanks in advance, matt

Stingray · December 21, 2006 9:09PM

<< hi guys,

thanks in advance, matt >>

Steel was done on cards done in the Wax and Rack packs. Steele is correct version and was placed in factory sets.

ArnyVee · December 21, 2006 10:06PM

<< hi guys,

could you tell me the dif between the steele and steel. Is it the writing on the bottom right reverse.

thanks in advance, matt >>

Matt, you are correct. The bottom right on the reverse of the card is where the designation of either STEEL or STEELE exists.

Kirk, I didn't get the Dawson or Anderson 10s as I was just outbid. I guess I'll just keep my eyes open for some others later. By the way, I haven't received a response as to why those other auctions were pulled.

alnavman · December 22, 2006 4:47AM

Well, just had the grades post from the submission I sent in 11/30. I'm overjoyed with the results, many are needed for my set.....take a look.

Just checked the pop report and the Griffin is the first graded 10....

ArnyVee · December 22, 2006 10:12AM

Great job on that Griffin! That's a tough one....I still need that card too.

Overall, nice solid sub. How many did you add to your set?

alnavman · December 22, 2006 10:44PM

Hi Arny, happy holidays. If my calculations are correct I need 14 of the cards from the submission for my set....some of them are upgrades to existing cards. It was amazing in that the cards came from a set I had gone through before but I went back thru a second time and pulled the cards out...I just missed them the first time thru....al.

ArnyVee · December 22, 2006 11:28PM

Wow, congrats Al! That's a successful sub right there!

Happy Holidays to you too as well as our other '84 Donruss members!

alnavman · December 24, 2006 2:04AM

Well, I'm getting the family ready to start our visits for the holiday....wanted to wish all my fellow 84D'ers a Merry Christmas. May Santa bring you all the cases of 84 Donruss Rack packs you are wishing for....or at least one factory set!!

al.

Spahnfan · December 26, 2006 8:27AM

I have received my cards back from PSA. As promised, here are some scans of the highlights from my last submission:

Stingray · December 26, 2006 9:03PM

Nice grades!!!

ArnyVee · December 26, 2006 11:20PM

Beauties my friend, beauties!

alnavman · December 27, 2006 10:20AM

Merry Christmas to all my fellow 84 D collectors....just listed some low pop 9's out on the bay if interested....al_n_sandy13 is my ebay id.....

al.

alnavman · December 29, 2006 8:55AM

just a couple of cards that I have available on the bay.....check out al_n_sandy14.

Waiting on a 90 card submission that was logged into PSA on the 27th......hope they get to it next week ......

Happy new year everyone....

al.

alnavman · December 29, 2006 8:57AM

where's the page break??? is it already celebrating the new year??

Stingray · December 29, 2006 10:32AM

Happy New Year fellow 84 Donruss collectors!!

jgarci11 · December 29, 2006 4:48PM

Man, '84 DOnruss Rules the Multiverse!! Why didn't we buy more of these as a kid. Too busy watching transformers or robotech I guess. Anyway--Your graded '84's are awesome--Maybe I should corner the market on those!!

ArnyVee · December 29, 2006 11:18PM

<< Your graded '84's are awesome >>

Thanks, we think so too!

alnavman · December 30, 2006 12:15AM

I agree with you Arny....since I started this set it's been my number one priority to finish....some may think its foolish to complete an 80's set but I think this is one that is an awesome one to view....especially in 9's and 10's

fiveniner · December 30, 2006 12:50AM

Not only do the cards look great however for an 80s issue these cards were issued in much lesser volume as other cards of the 80s.

Stingray · December 30, 2006 1:12AM

Hey guys, I have a 84 Donruss rack pack that I have not opened yet. I was wondering if there was anything worth while to send in to grade, if I could have someone who belongs to the club send them it with some of theirs?? Of course I would pay for grading and shipping cost back to me?? I am planning on ripping soon, though I do not have a scanner at home to show you anything.

Kirk

ArnyVee · December 31, 2006 2:07PM

Happy New Year's my '84 Donruss brothers!

alnavman · December 31, 2006 11:11PM

Happy New Year everyone.....hard to believe I'm up so early this morning, I made it to midnight last night, first time in years!!! guess I'm showing my age....anyways hope everyone is starting the new year out right.
