Sending in cards from the 50's

incugator · November 21, 2008 7:21AM

What kind of penny sleve is used to send in the oversized 50's cards.

-Ryan

nam812 · November 21, 2008 7:22AM

I've never sent any size card in a penny sleeve, just the cardsaver. Why give them one more obstacle?

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:24AM

cardsaver II's, definately not pennysavers

incugator · November 21, 2008 7:25AM

i know that I need to put it in a card saver, but they suggest using a penny sleave, too.

-Ryan

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:26AM

who is they, and why?

incugator · November 21, 2008 7:29AM

They is...PSA, and why? I guess to protect the cards.

Brian48 · November 21, 2008 7:29AM

PSA is who. Keeps the card from shifting and offers a level of protection sliding in/out of the cardsaver.

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:30AM

i never do,been subbing for years,put em in cardsavers and forget it,mine are all taped at the top and smushed ina pile with cardboard on top and bottom, not shifting anywhere by the time im done, i just did a sub of 20 52 topps autos logged today , no way im giving someone more trouble by adding another obstactle getting the card out of the cardsaver

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:32AM

<PSA is who.>

is that right

never did a thing for me, tell em nick

incugator · November 21, 2008 7:33AM

Well, either way. Does anybody know what could/should be used?

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:35AM

put em in a cardsaver and pennysaver if you want lol- you just gotta find the right sized pennysaver for the bigger cards

incugator · November 21, 2008 7:38AM

I'm pretty convinced that you are simply giving me a hard time at this point. I have some high grade (projected PSA 7-9) cards from the 50's. They need to be shipped in a secure way without risking damage. What type of penny sleave should I use and how can I get it?

BunchOBull · November 21, 2008 7:39AM

these

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:41AM

look on ebay, i dunno, im not sure what size they are for the oversized ones, yeah im just messing with ya

-notin the least if you wanna buy pennysavers i still have no idea what the pennysavers for the 50s are called or #ered though? somebody on here should- you brian? guess not, he cut and run

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:42AM

thats the ones,thanx ross knew it was ultra pro something, i need some of those myself, i ran out too

just for raw card tthough, not for subbing

Ryan,

I would pass on the penny sleeve and just use the cardsaver. My opinion is not PSA's opinion, but I believe the risk from potentially dinging corners or something would be greater by utilizing a penny sleeve then by the risk of just shipping them in cardsavers. I detest penny sleeves. My two pence would be to just put the card in a cardsaver, pack it correctly, and be done with it.

Take care,

Mike

WinPitcher · November 21, 2008 7:43AM

Ive never heard of a card moving within a card saver.

I think the use of a penny saver would allow for the card to come out
of the card saver easier. At least that is what I think.

I should have used them when I sent in my last order, the one where Mr. 10 thumbs
ruined a bunch of my 55 year old cards.

Not sure where you can get 50's sized penny savers though.

Steve

BunchOBull · November 21, 2008 7:46AM

Though I provided the link, I too believe the use of a penny sleeve is just asking for trouble...mostly in getting the sleeved card into the card saver. If you must, try sandwiching the card (already in the penny sleeve) between 2 pieces of thin cardboard and slide the sandwhich into the card saver...then just remove the cardboard when it is in place.

edit to add: First, I spelled penny, "peeny"...second, if you go through the trouble of getting the cards in penny sleeves first, it will make removing the cards easier for the grader.

I do suggest snipping the corner of the penny sleeves first, for easier insertion of the card into the sleeve without as many snagged edges and corners.

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 7:47AM

3- 4 more people telling you same thing i have been trying to since 1st post

thanx mike and steve,ross,satan , bowl of coleslaw coming your way

<Ive never heard of a card moving within a card saver>

me either- not by the time i get done taping em and packing em ya could throw em against a wall 20 times and not hurt em,been doingthis a day or 2 now

jeffcbay · November 21, 2008 7:59AM

Nobody is messing with you, I never put vintage cards in penny sleeves when I ship them to PSA, CS1s only.

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:03AM

thats 5 against and to for pennysavers 2 of so far,

Steve, this is an ongoing problem that psa is having right now. The grader is handling them fine, it's the slabber slamming cards down in the slabs on the corners. This is the reason PSA won't be getting another penny from me till the problem is addressed. Even PSA cards on ebay, I won't buy them unless there is a big scan where I can make out the corners. In fact, I know of two cards on Ebay right now with smashed corners in PSA 10 slabs.

I emailed Joe about the issue. Not sure if anything has been done though.

PSA fix the problem!

I just paid $1.67 for gasoline.

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:18AM

6/2 wanna keep going

ROCKDJRW · November 21, 2008 8:21AM

7/2 F the penny sleves on vintage!

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:22AM

i just paid 3.00 for a can of snuff

perkdog · November 21, 2008 8:22AM

<< 6/2 wanna keep going >>

Make 7/2 now Randy

I think no matter what he is going to find the penny sleeves and use them regardless of what anyone says. That is until he nicks a corner trying to insert the card into the penny sleeve that is

Edit- looks like its 8-2 now!

jimrad · November 21, 2008 8:23AM

make it

9-2

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:24AM

ive played the penny saver game too long, it dont add nothing for protection, just more damage ryan, listen to these people, they know what they are talking about, 9/2 , ya lost

BunchOBull · November 21, 2008 8:25AM

<< i just paid 3.00 for a can of snuff

>>

I quit several years ago now...I haven't had one pinch...but God, I could do it now and I could do it in a heartbeat.

WinPitcher · November 21, 2008 8:26AM

The grader is handling them fine, it's the slabber slamming cards down in the slabs on the corners.

I had problems from both, I had some 7's and 8's slabbed with the corner flipped up and I had cards
creased when they were taken out of the holders before grading, how else would they have graded 3 and 4?

I went through those cards with a magnifying glass NONE were creased/wrinkled.

Steve

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:27AM

come to wv, ill give you rub of snuff, and a pennysaver, and a half a can of warm beer,mght be a fly in it, hes free too ross
it the us version of the trequila worm

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 8:28AM

<how else would they have graded 3 and 4?>
ouch-that stinks steve

MeteoriteGuy · November 21, 2008 8:31AM

A fly or two never hurt anyone....but the worm, even with that alcohol bath, never could go there. I do remember how to eat fried worms, but I think I missed the uncooked children book version.

Clear Skies,
Mark

(By the way, according to that Judy Bloom book, you eat fried worms with ketchup.)

Ah, that's even worse. All the cards I am referring too are modern graded 10's. Which puts the blame on the slabber being that the card is now really an 8 or 9

Either way, the issues need to be addressed

incugator · November 21, 2008 8:48AM

I wouldn't have asked the question if I didn't intend the use the advice given. I am going put in a Card Saver 1. Maybe I don't need to cross my fingers this time.

Good, it really is your best option- I cant tell you how easy it is to ding a corner putting cards into the penny sleeves, card savers are great and offer very good protection. Best of luck with your sub!

A761506 · November 21, 2008 9:12AM

Once you have them in the card savers, make stacks of about 25, cut 2 pieces of cardboard to slightly larger than the size of a semi-rigid and make a sandwich, and then just use a rubber band in each direction to hold it together. I think this is the safest possible way of sending in cards

It sounds like some people like to tape them up like they're sending a package of marijuana and trying to get it past drug sniffing dogs, but the easier they are to open when they arrive, the less chance they are going to be damaged.

BTW, you can ignore the part about using stickers on the card savers as well - just use a black Sharpie and write the order number and line number on the back of each card saver.

leadoff4 · November 21, 2008 9:51AM

Okay, what's some advice for sending in Hostess panels that I don't have toploaders/cardsavers for? Will PSA grade them if I put them between 2 pieces of cardboard and write the submission number on the back of the cardboard??

mealeworm · November 21, 2008 9:52AM

I lost count, but add another NO for pennysleeves. I think you risk chipping the edges and corners when using those things. I just even have any just so I don't slip cards into them for time being.

I have never used stickers or a sharpie and haven't had any problems out of the ordinary

HighChopper · November 21, 2008 10:36AM

i just paid 3.00 for a can of snuff

This is excellent.

I paid seven bucks for the two can special!

Guess it's time to give up the Copenhagen.

Have a hundred dollar Chantix prescription I have yet to open.

Screw the penny sleeves. Just another way to ding corners and scrape edges.

Although someone on these boards mentioned that they cut the corners on the sleeves to reduce the possibility of damage to the card.

To each their own.

Yeah sure, no problems. Other than the fact that the slabbers smash your corners because you don't follow the rules!

Good point except I think the real problem is the fact that they pay the slabbers with bananas.

Uhhgg!! Me mash.... uhh.....slab cards!
