Best Place to Buy OLD PSA Holder Cards (1990's) Rounded Flip Corners not New Square

[that T206 Guy]

OK so I am OCD about my PSA Cards.

I only buy Originals that are in the Original Style Flip (from the 1990's) with the Rounded Corners.

The New Square ones (1999 to Present) Drive me Nuts !!!!!!!!

I guess I don't like change LOL.

It seems like I have to look at like 200 or 300 New Square Flips just to Find One Round Flip from the 1990's on eBay.

So My Question is is there a Good Place that Specializes in these Cards or No?

Website
Individual Dealer
Show
etc.

I am tired of being Hunched Over Straining my Eyes looking at eBay trying to Find the Old Cards.

I have to look at a Couple Hundred New Square PSA Holders to Find one Rounded PSA Holder (Then on Top of that I may not like the Picture of the Player or the Centering).

Its like I look at 10,000 cards on eBay for every One Card that I actually buy.

Getting Tired of that !!!!!!!!

No one specializes in that. Try COMC though. They have high resolution photos of every PSA card in their inventory.

It's a consignment web site.

Oh, and is your favorite player 'Adrian' Cap Anson or Jim 'Catfish' Hunter?

Also, you can add the cards you like onto your watch list to see if they go on sale, or you can make offers through the site.

I am confused.

What do you mean "if" they go on sale.

Aren't all the Cards for Sale?

You are talking about COMC right?

Definitely "Adrian"

Lol. Seeing all of the new threads I was wondering if Adrian's middle name might be Steve.

Adrian?

Haha. I posted this without even looking at previous posts.

In Case anybody is not sure what I am talking about I posted pics showing the difference.

Picture #1 is what I want (The Ted Williams) It is an OLD Original PSA Holder from the 1990's (The Red and White Sticker Flip has "Rounded" Corners).

Picture #2 is what I DON'T want (The Craig Biggio) It is the NEW PSA Holder from 1999 To 2018 (The Red and White Sticker Flip has "Square" Corners).

Also, Want BVG with Subgrades which are even Harder to Find than Old PSA Holders.

There's niche collecting and then there's niche collecting.....

Perhaps there are some slab busting old-timers on here that have a stash of the rounded corners labels you seek...

Eeeek...collect the card, not the label!

I Can't Sadly.

It Drives me Nuts.

I Can't Even Look at the Card because I Just Focus on the Label and Can't Get Past the Fact that it is Square. It is soooo Ugly to Me.

I once Bought a Card (Ken Griffey Jr. RC).

The Picture had Rounded Corners so I Bid and Won

It arrived with Square Corners !!!!

It was not the Exact Same Card in the Auction Picture (Same Card and Grade) but not same serial number and Square Corners.

I Literally Threw it in the Garbage and Won Another 1989 Bowman Griffey PSA 9 (I had to ask the seller before I paid if it was the actual card in the picture and not copied from another auction) on eBay.

I am Not Joking at all. It went into the Garbage.

I started Buying PSA in the 1990's before they Switched.

And I Don't Like Change I Guess.

If I found a Genie in a Lamp my 3 Wishes would be

1. Win the Lottery
2. Make PSA go Back to Rounded Corners on Flips.
3. Make BVG go Back to Having Sub Grades - When I say Sub Grades I mean on the Front (Sub Grades on the Back are Unacceptable and I Won't Buy Those BVG Cards Either).

I could give you a good deal on some flips from cards I've busted over the years. I didn't know anybody collected them. Do you collect baseball cards too?

Steve, I would guess that you are the Only One Out There!

[frankbmd]

I believe there is a T206 Wagner out there that meets your criteria.

If I'm not mistaken the cert # is 00000001.

I'll waive the finder's fee.

Thanks for posting this as I had no idea what you were talking about in all your other posts.

I checked and a substantial part of my collection of PSA cards has old-school flips. Makes sense that they would be pre-1999 submittals. I've had some of the cards for decades and I would've self-submitted them around the time of the 1996 National and in the year or so after. I guess it was pretty soon after that when I stopped using PSA and did not go back for years. PSA missed its turn times repeatedly and had to come through with a pile of vouchers; they used to do that but I had to really fight with them into fulfilling their advertised guarantee. The whole experience it left me so unimpressed with their service that I switched to SGC shortly after its inception.

But I digress.

I've never heard of anyone collecting by flip type. It is an interesting quirk, but to each his own.
