Is anyone planning on subbing oversized cards for the April special?

Is anyone planning on subbing oversized cards for the April special? I have 5 oversized cards that I would like to sub. I was wondering if anyone was planning on doing a last minute sub for the april special that I could piggy back?

lsutigers1973 · April 25, 2009 7:18AM

I'm subbing some cards that show pictures of oversized men. Does that count?

Dboneesq · April 25, 2009 7:33AM

I've got some I could sub, but not enough to get to the 25 minimum ... I could probably come up with 5 - 10 at most.

Well, Ive got 5, all we need is 10-15 more.

I'm tempted - I have an unopened pack of Sportscaster cards that is calling out to me to get the Kareem and a few others graded.

I have 7 or 8... please let me know if we'll have enough!

ping4u43 · April 25, 2009 11:03AM

What is the price per card??

MULLINS5 · April 25, 2009 12:26PM

Hi,

I'm in. I have 3 sportscaster cards, 1 1980 topps team 5X7, and 1 1980 OPC Super (all hockey) for a total of 5 (maybe 6 if one card comes in in time and looks nice enough to grade)

Please keep me posted on the details, I was going to send them along with some other regular sized 4.50 specials, but would be glad to help out the board in getting a 25 min. to send.

I have some unopened packs of 1984 and 85 Donruss Action All Stars I could bust if you need a few more.

lawnmowerman · April 25, 2009 12:32PM

I have at least 10 I want to send

lsutigers1973 · April 25, 2009 12:36PM

Cool thread!

Dboneesq · April 25, 2009 12:37PM

I think logistics may be a problem here, considering that April 30 is Thursday. All cards would probably have to be sent to one person by overnight mail. By the time you pay for overnight mail, especially if you are subbing only 5 cards, it might cost just as much as a normal submission. JMO

Way to kill the dream Dougie!

Dboneesq · April 25, 2009 12:44PM

<< Way to kill the dream Dougie! >>

HAHAHA Bill ... after I initially responded I started getting some together (I have some '71 Milk Dud boxes I wanted to get slabbed) and then started wondering how we could get all the cards together and postmarked TO PSA by Thursday?

I think the best way would be to pair up with another guy that lives close to you. Now that I think about it, I have 15 oversize cards. I would be willing to do a sub with one other person.

jswieton · April 25, 2009 6:50PM

I think we have some time. If the cards are shipped priority mail to me or whomever is doing the sub by Monday there should be enough time to get them in the mail. If you are trully interested in subbing your jumbos please PM me with the exact number of cards. As long as I don't get swamped with 100 cards I should have plenty of time to geth them in the mail Wednessday.

$4.50 per card plus shipping.

jswieton · April 26, 2009 4:15AM

We should have enough to send. If the cards are shipped Priority Monday then we should be ok with time. Please PM me if you would like to o a group sub and exactly how many cards you will be sending. So far I have one response (Dboneesq). I will figure out shipping totals later today.
Leathtech: 7-8
Mullins5: 5
LM: 15
Dboneesq:5-10
me:5

Dboneesq · April 26, 2009 4:17AM

Lets not forget that there is a 25 card minimum for EACH category

up to '71

'72 to present

I may have a few other issues, but the Milk Duds are '71s.

recbball · April 26, 2009 4:21AM

I could sub a couple '80 Topps Super Payton cards I have.
Are those '85 McDonald's football cards oversized, I have a Payton I would sub from that also.

Tom

leathtech · April 26, 2009 7:43AM

Please let me know what we are subbing...

I have cards that fall into both groups

3 cards from 70 and below

and

6 cards from 1990's

jswieton · April 26, 2009 11:41AM

All 5 of mine are from 80's and 00's. I have only recieved 1 4sure so far, so please let me know if you are serious about subbing some oversized cards. We need to move quickly to get the April grading special. I was really busy this weekend and wasn't able to figure in the shipping totals. I don't mind fronting the $ for the shipping. I would imagine that it will be close to $1.00 per card.

Dboneesq · April 26, 2009 12:49PM

It seems as though there are not anough pre '72 cards. I guess I will pass on this submission.

bman90278 · April 26, 2009 12:54PM

There are some really big glasses on the oversized cards.

leathtech · April 26, 2009 1:34PM

if we get enough I'm still in for 6 cards...

jswieton · April 27, 2009 2:34AM

Is this a no go with the jumbos? Leathtech and Dboneesq are the only two that have said they are in.

Dboneesq · April 27, 2009 3:38AM

<< Is this a no go with the jumbos? Leathtech and Dboneesq are the only two that have said they are in. >>

No ... look above ... my cards are '71s and it does not seem like there are enough pre '72s to make the minimum ... so I guess I am out.

clayshooter22 · April 27, 2009 4:21AM

I wish I would have seen this about a week ago. I have about 10-12 Pucketts that I've been accumulating; also not enough to make the 25 card minimum. Maybe next time.

RedHeart54 · May 12, 2009 11:06PM

Whatever came of this potential submission? If there is another future submission for oversize cards I'd like to be in on it for 5-6 cards.

leathtech · May 12, 2009 11:21PM

<< Whatever came of this potential submission? If there is another future submission for oversize cards I'd like to be in on it for 5-6 cards. >>

we kind of ran out of time and did not have enough to send in... we should keep this in mind next time there is a special that would work for us!

saucywombat · May 13, 2009 12:42AM

The April Special was an unbelievable deal on super size grading at $4.50. Even with the current special you are looking at $7.50 per. $15 without any special going forward.

I wasn't even aware that super sizes were eligible until I read this thread. I submitted a complete 1993 Finest Jumbo Set under the April Special at the last minute.

Is anyone planning on subbing oversized cards for the April special?
