Yep, now eligible due to the oversized holders. I'm sure a bunch of new ones will show up this year.

Those new oversized holders are nice but it looks like there is a lot of room for the pics to move around possibly damaging them?

I think it's good that it is expanding, just as the definition of what is a card is doing. Remember when Cobb's 1907 postcards weren't considered his rookies?

Best to all,

Nothing new there. Lots of swimming room in a lot of PSA holders.

Chris will no doubt be back at 100%. They came from my pc. Rawlings Advisory Staff and 54 All Star Pack should be added soon too. I agree with Swarmee that more additions are on the way...

They don't move much from what I can tell. You can hit an edge and move it but they stay put for the most part.

I just need to figure out how to store them. All of my other slabs are in binders but the Jumbo slab is 9-3/4"x13-1/4"...huge. And they don't stack well.

Including for regular sized cards. I've noticed a lot of '60s cards slide slightly side to side within the holders. I've busted some out that I knew I was keeping sometimes for this reason before, and then I'll notice later that other cards that I don't want to take out of the slab do it too. Some do and some don't, but it's annoying. There have supposedly been studies done to show that it cannot hurt the cards, one guy even put a PSA slab in a paint shaking machine like they have down at Home Depot. Supposedly couldn't tell any difference after shaking the hell out of a card for 10 straight minutes. I don't know...

You would think that with all of the empahsis PSA puts on other things, they could design a consistent holder where this does not happen - at least for run-of-the-mill, standard issue and size baseball cards.

I personally think it is a little excessive and that he should share with his fellow Mantle collecting buddies Who needs that many matchbooks?!? I've heard Ben doesn't even smoke!

(Awesome stash Ben. And, thanks again for passing a yellow one my way.)

I much prefer that thought to the guy sitting at home right now ripping out the matches and chucking them in the trash so he can send the thing off for grading
