Martin NealBill, there were 20 t210s in the group. I sent in all the series 8s. I already had the Landgraff. The others are mostly series 2.
Barry, This was a lot on Ebay about 2 months ago. They were asking 50 thousand which I and most everyone else on Ebay thought was too much. Since they were located only a little over an hour away I drove to Chesterfield (near Richmond) to look at them. Even though getting them back from Sgc was exciting, I got to admit, going through them at the bank was a real blast. I may have offered them more money or we had a really good repore (that's what I like to think) anyway, we came to an agreement. I know they had other offers and I think Mr. Mint had been there. What they really liked was the fact that I am a collector. At least I will be a collector of the majority of them. I will probably sell around half of them.
Matt, I sent in about 45 cards of this lot to Psa and they both seem to grade about the same although they are definately grading harsher than they were 2-4 years ago. Overall, I was happy with both submissions. As I have been sending in submissions for 6 years now, I find that I am happy with a high grade, but I am rarely disapointed with a grade that is lower than expected. To me, a high end 50 is just as nice as a low end 60. I guess I am getting less enamoured with chasing the grade thing. I do like the sgc cases although I am having some problems with the inserts. I understand Sgc is fixing that.
Shane, I am thinking of switching all my Psas over to Sgc. I am not sure how it works yet, but I will probably go to the Reading show and figure it out.
Thanks for all the kind comments.
