What color box do I use for PSA subs?

Comments

  • Oh and do I write "brown box" or "white box" on the side?

    If so, which side(s) do I write it on?

    Is the blue painters tape ok or should I use Green Gator tape?

    I use a brown bag wrapped with duct tape. I write "Jeff's Package" all over it. Somehow it makes it to Newport Beach...

    Usually brown goes in the back and yellow in the front but usually only after a really rough night.

    i use a clear box and write everything on the inside upside-down so the first person who receives it must do a handstand in front of a floor-length mirror......i'm sorry if this has caused a need for additional manpower and supplies Joe, just add it to my bill.

    I prefer putting it in a white box, preferably a new clean unused one.

    The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.

    Weird.

    Let me try that PM again.

    If I may be of some assistance, in order to properly send a PM, you click on the little lock icon on someone's post. Then that allows you to send a PM.

    Hope this helps all parties involved.

    I write "brown box" and I like to put smiley faces in the two o's. I think it gets me better grades.

    I'd be glad to tell you the correct color, but only if I get a mention in your sigline.

    Personally crimson and white would look outstanding to me.

    Any color works well for me, and I don't even mind if they're a little used, but I agree that cleanliness is real important.

    Box? Who uses a box? I simply send them in a brown paper bag.

    Oh and I tape the hell out of it.

    I have a question, if I send in more than one sub how do I put the forms in?

    Do I staple them together? Use a paper clip or can I simply just jam the forms in

    anyway I choose? This has me perplexed.

    Good for you.

    Purple box with the address written in pink crayon makes subs pop faster.

    Always staple the forms to the cards themselves. That way they know which cards go with each order.

    I thought everyone knew this.
  • When I staple them to the cards do I set the stapler to have the prongs bend inward or outward? Would it be best to staple it both to the top and the bottom of the card also?
    I don’t want my cards getting mixed up with someone else’s.

    Thanks

    i would suggest putting the staples directly through the eyes of the player on the card to make him look like a super space-age psycho-villain.

    this expecially looks cool on the old vintage cards, since most modern stuff already depicts super space-age psycho-villains. image

    I would use a "Black Box" so you know it will survive getting to PSA.
  • PM sent... I like the clear with my 52 mantle showing, no DC and no Insurance... I trust it will get there no problem.

  • I always use small Pink box and write virgin (The Who) grading service on the side and include a CD with the song from the Who called "Squeeze box". Last one I sent in like this yielded 27 PSA 10's and 3 PSA 9's. and the turnaround time was I mailed them on 04/01 and got them back on 04/06. ifin you want it quicker use the red hot pink boxes.
