Just got back the first card I ever had graded and the only graded card in my collection. I was a nervous wreck something bad would happen to it. |

I understand completely. I am expecting about 30 cards back from grading next Monday. The fear never ends. Even after doing this since grading erupted onto the scene. You always worry....so get used to it. |

very nice card. Ive been in your shoes as well - it took me awhile to send in my first card for that very reason - now I submit frequently, and track the shipment daily until I see that it has been received and signed for. |

I too, was at first concerned about sending something as precious to me as my valuable baseball cards through the mail, even if it were Registered and insured. So I did a little experiment first with something almost as dear to me to help put my mind at ease. |

I've never sent a card to be graded and never will. |

I take it you are afraid something would happen to the card and not trying to turn this into an anti-slab thread. |

You would be right. It's disconcerting to have strangers handle your treasures, especially the first time. |

After having UPS lose an almost complete graded set of E98s on the way back from grading, I was very gun shy for a while but continued to ship. I do admit that I track the shipments' progress more closely now than I used to before the loss. |

Bob, Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you had them insured for full value. I had 2 19th Century team cabinets left out in the rain one time by UPS, but it was my fault for not requiring signature. Why did you chose UPS instead of USPS registered Mail? |

Jerry- I sent them to GAI who used UPS only and not USPS registered mail. I always use USPS registered mail to send the cards to GAI, SGC and PSA and PSA and SGC use the same service to return my cards. I have used GAI several times since without any problems. It was UPS that was responsible as I tracked the shipment in and out of several stops before it got to Little Rock, its final destination before coming west to my home. The package, according to the web site, went in to the LR center but never emerged. |
