Default Gathering Cards for a PSA Piggybacking Submission for AUGUST - CARDS BACK!!

Hey guys...sorry to post in this thread, but I'm hoping to stir up interest. In a nutshell, the PSA specials for this month SUCK!! We have been WAITING, and WAITING for a modern special, and it just has not materialized. $10 a card for grading is just NOT happening. I am looking for submitters under the BULK special. I am up to 50 already. If I can round up 50 more, we can submit under the $7 per card (100 card minimum) BULK special. For those who have submitted with me in the past, they can vouch for me. I try to make it as easy as possible, even though it isn't! :-p ALL years are included, but the cards can not be valued over $100. We can fudge it a bit, but PLEASE, no Hank Aaron rookies!!! These MUST be standard size or smaller only. Anyway, hopefully we can get there.

I am interested, but I will have to get organized enough to see if I can make it work.

I'm in. Except at least 10 from me.

Also, I've submitted with Bob a couple of years ago and can vouch for him.

Generally these kind of Group submission things shouldn't be done on the front page. I realize it gets more eyeballs than any other section.
That said if it looks like it's benefitting our community, and doesn't involve it being a profit center for the host (*or much of one) then an extraordinary thread would seem to be ok....My guess is there are quite a few guys saying, "hey, he shouldn't be doing that on the front page".....

there is no profit in it for me at all. As a matter of fact, I venture to say I lose a little bit, as the shipping charges PSA charges are out of this world. Usually I have enough to meet the minimum quantities myself, with whatever special PSA is running. PSA is not cooperating as far as specials go this time around. I am venturing to guess that the days of $6 specials might be a thing of the past, and PSA is pushing towards a higher starting price point. Just a guess though. Thanks for letting this be in the main group Leon....I think rounding up the extra 50 needed to make the BULK 100 special might be a little hard considering the boards preference towards SGC.

I got it Bobby. I just felt like nipping the thoughts (and thoughts of other threads being here) in the bud. All is good or we would be chatting in another section starting a little while ago.

I'm gonna post it here, so EVERYONE can see it....

Include the cards in a CS I - along with a slip of paper stating what they are, the value you place on them, along with return shipping and your net54 handle (so I can PM you).

The cost will be $7 + $1 per card for shipping to and from California.

Send to:
Robert Williams
PO Box 61362
Raleigh, NC 27661-1362

Include a personal check, or if you rather paypal F/F upon arrival that is cool too. That's pretty much it. They will go out around the 3rd week in August. Under the bulk special, ALL cards are included. There is no year cut-off. They must be standard size (Topps) or smaller (T206s). No big cards, tall boys, Mutoscopes, etc. There is a $100 value limit per card.

Some members here got on the vintage special I ran last month that popped in about 6 days. That IS NOT the norm!! (The special is for 45 business days - sometimes they pop faster). Also, they have not ran a modern special in about 4 months. I'm just tired of waiting, and I feel a little guilty, because I am holding onto members cards from the past in hopes of a modern special that has not materialized. I feel guilty holding other people's cards, so I just want to get the ball rolling on SOMETHING.

I've never submitted a single card for grading before...but have a 93 SP Jeter in a BGS case I'd like to crossover.....but does that card fall under the "$100" limit?

Thanks!

Hey Bobby, I'm gathering my cards to send over to you and I have yet another question. What do we do about qualifiers? Some people specifically want straight grades without qualifiers and others don't mind whether or not a qualifier will be attached. Do we tell you what we want in this regard?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, we cant pick and choose which cards to have qualifiers for and which ones don't. The default is qualifiers. I have noticed that they usually aren't assigning qualifiers willy nilly. If a card deserves a qualifiers, it usually gets one. If not, then it don't.

(Spoke to Bobby via PM, but will post here, too) I'm assembling my cards as we speak and it will be a minimum of 20, but most likely closer to 30.

No worries, will be a fun event when the results do come in. Would be cool to see what the highlights of the submission end up being if all of the other participants are cool with that.

I would love to see a pic of the Mickey Mantle 1968 Topps Game card if someone wouldn't mind posting it. I have one I am considering sending in.

That one is mine....I can do that.....I have to look at it long and hard, because I really thought it was going to be a PSA 3 (if it's the one I'm thinking it is), due to a surface wrinkle.
