(Sigh.) It's the end of the month and Burgundy needs to submit some more cards.

RonBurgundy · August 28, 2009 5:10AM

I need to get a submission ready before Monday. I've got some good cards to submit, and some re-submits from the last submission.

WHO'S GONNA BE WORKING ON A SUB THIS WEEKEND? WHO'S WITH ME HERE?

rexvos · August 28, 2009 5:11AM

I got in from a road trip last night, and finished throwing together a 50 card sub this am.

burke23 · August 28, 2009 5:19AM

I got my 25 minimum going in Monday- and just had 50 log Tuesday as well from the August special...not very patient I guess.

leadoff4 · August 28, 2009 5:19AM

Putting together one this afternoon. Got to with this $4.50 special. Wonder what next month's will be????????

itzagoner · August 28, 2009 5:20AM

how convenient a Sunday comes right before the deadline, must be my lucky day.

hammered · August 28, 2009 5:23AM

I got a bunch of high grade 69 basketball - hoping to find time this weekend to go through them. Lots of 7s and 8s, I think. They take tallboys on the special too, right?

yup. separate order.

Kdog08 · August 28, 2009 5:28AM

I need to go through the stuff I haven't looked at the last 12 years and see if any of it is worth sending in. Maybe I can piggypack with someone next time they offer a submission special!

hammered · August 28, 2009 5:29AM

A little OT but
BTW, against my better judgment awhile back, I picked up several "high grade" 71 baseball from Waverly82.
Results today:
N3: EVIDENCE OF RECOLORATION 1971 TOPPS 687 RON TAYLOR Card US
N3: EVIDENCE OF RECOLORATION 1971 TOPPS 113 JERRY CRIDER Card US
I'm sure he had no idea

itzagoner · August 28, 2009 5:30AM

gosh, how horrible....we should really start a separate thread ans discuss this further.

IJustLoveCards · August 28, 2009 5:31AM

Ron getting ready for his submission...

pswebauctions · August 28, 2009 5:32AM

My last 35 card sub was mailed about 1/2 hour ago. I think I have subbed more cards under the 4.50 specials they have run this year than I have in the past 2 years. Will be sad to see it go.

Hopefully, they will bring it back at some point in the future.

gumbyfan · August 28, 2009 5:37AM

I've got about 40 cards set aside right now to go in, but I'm working my way through a very clean cut card case of 1982 Topps Baseball (sheet D) and hope to find some gems in there, specifically a gem Yount!

Mefer · August 28, 2009 5:37AM

I just sent off my order of over 100 items this morning. It was the biggest one I have ever sent in. I actually renewed my PSA membership to take advantage of the $4.50 per card price since I have never seen it that low. Fingers crossed that the grading gods give me tons of high grades.

Bad thing is that I will probably end up waiting a year and a half for my cards since I got in at the last moment on the special. Regardless, I am going to try my darndest to resist temptation to look at the grades on line when they pop. Instead, I plan on seeing the grades for the first time as I go through the cards. Pray that I can keep my resolve!

"Ron getting ready for his submission..."

Wow, that's a shot across the bow. Especially from a fellow Texan................and a female one at that.

daddymc · August 28, 2009 5:54AM

Just had a sub log yesterday. Glad it beat the last minute rush, now I just need to hope it doesn't get lost in the month-end shuffle.

epatmythes · August 28, 2009 5:55AM

Yep, got a sub myself I hope to finalize tonight and mail out tomorrow.

Got a 10x Loupe the other day, so I already pulled out about 20% from my original stack... gonna do some finer inspecting of other cards tonight to make it a worthwhile sub!

Cheers & Good Luck Ya'll

halosfan · August 28, 2009 6:02AM

I have sent in 2 non-sport sets already this month and will most likely get a group of cards ready to ship on Monday. Won't be as many as I would like to send in but am hoping to shoot of 45 or 60.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Oh, shucks..sorry ya'll, ....

RonBurgundy · August 28, 2009 6:28AM

"Oh, shucks..sorry ya'll, ...wrong texan's submission..."

Wrong city too.

And for the record, I knew Felicia was kidding. It's the Texan way of showing affection.

markj111 · August 28, 2009 6:28AM

I'm working on mine-100 cards or so, mostly from 66 and 71. I have some really nice 68s, 69s, and 72s, but it's just not worth the money and time to have them graded.

gemint · August 28, 2009 7:46AM

I've got a few hundred cards I'm preparing. I'll probably crack some 1971 7's as well and resubmit them. I got hammered on them in the same submission I originally sent the Raymond in with. Since the Raymond bumped on review, I'm feeling more compelled to regrade some of those 7s that had me scratching my head at the time. I think I'll pull some 8s on them.

Littletweed · August 28, 2009 7:49AM

Mine will be going out on Monday, about 75 cards or so. I'm also sending my 6 "free" ones from when I renewed my membership - maybe that will speed up the process of getting the cards subbed under the special logged faster, and graded faster. It's only wishful thinking, but it can't hurt.

BassPro77 · August 28, 2009 8:28AM

don't feel bad. I have to wait almost 9 more months to submit.
stupid military messes with all your plans

Last minute rush? I'm still waiting for a last minute July special that was checked in August 7th.

Oh, I've got one of those too.

alnavman · August 28, 2009 9:08AM

mailed off a 90 card submission this afternoon, nothing earthshattering, just some 87/88 and 88/89 Fleer basketball, 75 Topps, 74 topps and a few 61 Fleer. The 75's are from a set I started picking apart years ago, the stars are all gone and this was what was left.

ssollars · August 28, 2009 11:35AM

Yep, 50 going out either tomorrow morning or Monday. I will be picking up 1 of my 2 subs from the national at the same time, good timing!

29 - Cleveland Browns cards from various sources including the National, pack rips, local shows and a couple from my maybe pile!
12 - more '80 FB from 2 wax box rips @ National
4 - '78 FB from pack rips @ National
5 - '81 FB from recent board rip

alnavman - you have any extra 88 fleer? I want to put together a raw set or two and am missing less than 10 cards or so. May be interested in any 87 nmmt fleer too for a raw set.

(Sigh.) It's the end of the month and Burgundy needs to submit some more cards.
