$6/Card Submission, 2 week turnaround, Pay when grades are available!!

BrackAttack · July 26, 2010 12:20AM

That's right!!

I'm taking submissions for $6 a card and a two week turnaround and top it off you don't pay until your cards are graded.

25 card minimum and 100 maximum. 1960's to Present!! Baseball only for now!!

No waiting for others just send your cards to me and they will be sent off immediately to PSA for grading, separately from other submissions.

Step 1: Make list for your own records and just send the cards to me in penny sleeves and a card saver I. No labeling of the cards!

Step 2: Once I receive the cards I send to PSA same or next day with priority mail.

Step 3: Cards are received at PSA and then graded in two weeks from receive date. You will get an email from me with the order receive date and quantity of cards.

Step 4: Cards are graded in two weeks or less, I send out email or phone call to you to pay me with paypal with a grand total with PSA shipping charges. When paying with paypal it has to be personal and payment owed out of your checking account, because there are no fees on my end or yours. If you rather pay with credit card that is fine to with paypal you just have to pay the fees. So, if your total is $600 you pay the $600 plus 3.5% for fees for a total of $621. Once payment is made I send out email to you with all the grades.

Step 5: Cards are mailed to me and then mailed the same day or next day to you with priority mail.

Step 6: You receive cards. Total turnaround maybe 4 weeks.

Details: If cards are not graded for any reason you lose your $6 for that card. No trimmed cards please, you will lose your $6!!

Shipping: Paid by me to PSA and to your house after I receive cards in mail from PSA. You pay for shipping to me of course and shipping from PSA to me. You can find PSA shipping prices on any submission form or their website.

Paying: You can pay in advance but you don't have to until the grades are done. Once payment is sent to my through paypal you will receive grades same day through email.

Any questions you can email me at roland_bracken@yahoo.com or call me at (979)230-6678.

Thanks,

Roland

Wow. What could go wrong with that?

Please tell me this is a joke

bobbyw8469 · July 26, 2010 1:53AM

How can you guarantee PSA's grading times? You don't work for PSA, so it is out of your control......

pdub1819 · July 26, 2010 1:53AM

It's on the BST board too. Good luck with it.

ahkmedbinladen · July 26, 2010 1:56AM

Ummm yeah.....I think Ill pass.

WinPitcher · July 26, 2010 1:58AM

I'd do it if I had some cards to lose.

jeffcbay · July 26, 2010 2:02AM

Archived... because this is too funny to lose.

For what its worth....The O/P has the #1 Nolan Ryan Master Set. I would like to hear more details before I make any judgements.

waverlee · July 26, 2010 3:00AM

can i send cards with magic marker on the edges?

RonBurgundy · July 26, 2010 3:06AM

Looks like a little profit scheme. Submitter probably has a bulk deal with PSA, so the more cards he submits the lower the rate. Has a turnaround time as well. So he makes up some of his own grading fees by charging more than what he actually pays, with the carrot being you get your cards back faster plus you don't have to pay until the cards are ready.

I don't really begrudge him for it, but littering all the boards with the promo is excessive. As for the offer.....................I'll. Pass.

swartz1 · July 26, 2010 3:19AM

Dont see anything wrong with what Roland is doing...

probably just looking to help other collectors out a little...

I am sure he will travel the world with his profits...

I aree. OP is likely looking at making $1 a card or like, nothing big.

Not sure if I would trust the people to pay when it was done, or that I would trust an extra party in the middle of my cards, no offense to OP. Doesnt seem like the $1 would be worth for either side....but who knows. Someone without a membership might find this of interest.

Clear Skies,
Mark

WinPitcher · July 26, 2010 3:35AM

Maybe the next time he could introduce himself?

That way people that do not know him could then make a better judgment?

Steve

MBMiller25 · July 26, 2010 3:43AM

<< That way people that do not know him could then make a better judgment? >>

I completely agree with you Steve

dizzle · July 26, 2010 5:11AM

Only Baseball??

If you took Basketball I'd send you some cards and give ya a chance....

I don't have a membership and I'm not paying 100.00 for 6 gradings (I don't have anything high end so it's useless) and access to pop reports (again could care less) and SMR (again useless) At this point paying for a membership just doesn't apeal to me in the slightest....

As long as the OP is trustworthy I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing...

Mickey71 · July 26, 2010 5:39AM

Actually sounds like a good deal if you send 25 cards. He's paying for shipping to PSA and to your house. This is cool if you don't have a membership.

Here's the problem: Does anyone know this guy?---Other than he has some nice collection of Ryans. I would like a little bit more info. He also does not state any declared value====I'm getting out the Mantle's.

No, you pay the shipping (3 times). Still not a bad deal if you do not have a membership and know the OP.

GoDodgersFan · July 26, 2010 6:26AM

If you are not a member, this is a good deal.

Mickey71 · July 26, 2010 6:28AM

Your're paying for shipping to get the cards to the OP and from PSA to the OP.

BrackAttack · July 26, 2010 6:51AM

Sorry declared value of less than $500.

For those who don't know me, I just won the Best Modern Player Set of the Year for 2010 for my Nolan Ryan Master Set. I've retired it and decided to sell it off. It was a goal of mine and I finished that goal and thought I'd share how I got to 100% so fast and added over 750 cards to the set since starting it. I didn't wait around for 40 business days for my cards to come back.

If want to do a submission with me, I stated I would pay for shipping from my house to your house well, that could get really expensive so YES you have to pay for shipping to me and from PSA to me and then from me to you. I will take care of the rest.

YES I WILL TAKE basketball, football cards as well now.

Any other questions please PM me or email me at roland_bracken@yahoo.com or call me at (979)230-6678.

Thanks,

Roland

MeteoriteGuy · July 26, 2010 6:58AM

<< Your're paying for shipping to get the cards to the OP and from PSA to the OP. >>

You do appear to be right. You pay the shipping twice, not three times...still, the extra shipping is from having the extra person in the middle.

In a different note, the OP should remove the 2 week turnaround in the thread title....when it is 4 weeks in the description. That is misleading. It is like having FREE in the title and a handling fee in small writing at bottom.

Edit: I guess I was right. You pay the shipping three times.

BrackAttack · July 26, 2010 7:19AM

Cancel, all this because this is way to difficult to get any of you to trust other members.

HOW DO YOU THINK I GOT 100% ON MY NOLAN RYAN MASTER SET...TRUST IN OTHER COLLECTORS, COLLECTORS, COLLECTORS!!

I'm not doing this anymore, I will not take any submissions from anyone.

Thanks, but no thanks to you guys!!

Smuggo · July 26, 2010 7:55AM

That was fun.

mosaic · July 26, 2010 8:28AM

I knew this couldn't end well.

Roland, you probably saved yourself a lot of grief by pulling the offer anyway. Imagine someone sending you their cards and accusing you of swapping them with lesser examples...

Too much risk for such a blanket offer.

Mickey71 · July 26, 2010 8:53AM

This went well.

MBMiller25 · July 26, 2010 9:16AM

This is a shame because I was going to send 6 or so cards to send off for me and save me from having to re-up my membership at the National. I wish the boards didnt have to be so leary at such gestures Roland, but unfortunately to many have been scammed by to many people lately.

mcolney1 · July 26, 2010 9:35AM

Roland,

This board is like skating on the first ice of winter. If you just barge into the lake with no precaution you'll likely get wet. Just like dragging a heavy rock across the ice first, you've got to ease into these things. An introduction, past dealings, reason for the offer, etc. on the front end would have saved some aggravation on the back end.

I agree with you.

ElToroLoco · July 26, 2010 10:08AM

You 've got to have the salesman approach. Intro, idea, why, basically the "what's in it for me". It took a couple minutes but the idea made sense when it came to membership fees. You may as well stat there, taking mass monthly submissions from board members

BrackAttack · July 26, 2010 10:19AM

Alright, I will do this but not right now. Let me finish selling off my Ryan collection and then I will.

If any of you would like any cards out of my collection and can't afford it now I will be happy to take payments. I've already set up two collectors with payments. I can only do a down payment and the rest broken up in three months. I've got most of my expensive ones on eBay and will end them if anyone wants to buy them over 3 months. The asking price for the cards is the minimum bid price.

Thanks,

Roland

so nice of PSA to offer a deal to one person and not to anyone else.

jlzinck · July 26, 2010 10:37PM

I

the keyward spamming in his auctions too. If you are looking for only PSA 10 cards you find most if not all his lower grades because of the NO 10'S in the title.

CarsonPalmer · July 26, 2010 11:48PM

those are some ridiculous starting prices..and thanks for clarifying the NO PSA 10's!

Good luck with your sales... Not sure I like how you listed some of your auctions by using the (not) PSA 10 in the title - but to each their own.

mtcards · July 27, 2010 2:29AM

I have a PSA 10 1990 Donruss Learning Series Nolan Ryan. From looking at those prices, it has to be worth a few hundred

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you
know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star,
He played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the Machine.

$6/Card Submission, 2 week turnaround, Pay when grades are available!!
