Yes, I am a glutton for punishment!! (OCT) GRADES POSTED!!
 

Anyone interest in subbing under bulk?? Raw cards abound in my humble abode. Let me know....

Pre 55 ok?

Yes....everything is OK as long as standard size or smaller. No pins or coins.

In
 

I’m in

Only have 5 or 6

That's good. We need to have at least 100, and I got 50 myself.

I'm pretty sure I can dredge up some cards, Bobby.

Same...lol

Bobby, I have about 6-8 cards I have been needing to have graded by PSA. I’ll gladly join your sub. I have seen your others in the past and think your communication through every step is top notch. Thank you for having another.

how much per card?

Bobby, I'm in again for a few.

FWIW: PSA has a quarterly special for pre 1960 cards with only a 25 card minimum and 45 day turnaround. You probably already know that but a 45 day turn is better than the 85 day turn on bulk submissions. I broke a large bulk submission into 4 smaller ones at the National and am curious what the results will be.

I’d love to take part (my first ever PSA submission).

Thanks for organizing this!

That is good, but I do like the BULK subs, because there are ZERO limitations.....old cards....new cards.......doesn't matter.

$9 per card/.....$8 for PSA and $1 per card to help cover shipping to and from Cali.

Do it.

I can send cards this week.

Opinions needed...

I have this 1968 Mantle with an ST qualifier. The 'stain' is a tiny bit of gum/wax in front of his face, and it could be eliminated immediately with a quick wipe of the panty hose (don't get me started on my hatred of the 'stain' designation with regards to wax on the front of a card)...

Attachment 362608

Should I do it? Obviously, the only reason I would is because I want the card to be more 'valuable' due to the lack of a qualifier, but I would be annoyed if it came back as a lower grade (which is always a possibility) and/or possibly graded with an OC qualifier instead, because I just realized it is somewhat uncomfortably close to the bottom (and left) border.

I wouldn't do it. You're right, you don't know what you're going to get.

Sounds reasonable. I have some I can send.

I have a few I would love to add. Is there a maximum value?

OK Bobby
 

if you're silly enuff to repeat yourself I then have 4/5 space cards for you!

I'll have a few to send to you. Thanks again Bobby.

Crossovers?

I have some. Are 1955 Bowmans considered standard?
Thanks for doing this again.

I'm in again, thanks again for doing this for us!!

I have never submitted a card before. Is there a maximum value for a bulk sub? Thanks

I have a few that I would like to Pop

In. When do you need the cards by?

behave :)

Tall boys ok?

Subs—
 

Please count me in for 3/4 subs of T206

Max value 100. 55 bowmans OK. Tall boys ok as long as they arent too big

I'm in. Let's set a cut-off date.

Jeff

Funny, but not really the right place....ooohhhhh as in last date to get cards inb, not a trimming reference.... nevermind..

I miss the old SNL.

Yeah, have Jon Lovitz looking at a card..."It's a PSA 3, no wait...now it's a PSA 9...that's the ticket!"

Sounds like plenty of interest.,

We are ON....for those who have subbed before, you know the routine. For those that haven't here ya go. Send the cards in a CARD SAVER 1 or 2!!! They must be STANDARD SIZE. No oversized cards!!! Include a slip of paper stating the cards, and what you classify them as. Your net 54 handle (so I can know how to contact you), and your return shipping address. Also, the value you place on the cards. This is FAIR VALUE - what you want to be reimbursed should PSA damage your cards. Don't lie and say a $5 card is worth $99. PSA will want you to prove it.
You can include a check or paypal/venmo me once I confirm receipt. DO NOT PAY BEFORE HAND. It's easier when everyone does the same thing.

The cost is $9 per card. $8 is what PSA charges, and the extra $1 per card helps defray the shipping cost TO and FROM California. For this type of bulk sub, there are NO YEARLY limitations. Every year is good, however, the value per card CAN NOT exceed $100. That's it.

Bobby,

What about return shipping from you to us? You must need more than $1 to cover that. Sorry...my first time and want to make sure I pay correctly!

Thank you!

After the dust settles, you are repsonsible for return shipping back to you. I have no way to guesstimate that due to the weight of the slabs, and not all cards might not get graded. After everything gets weighed out and you decide if you need insurance or not, then we can determine return shipping back to you. So yes....there are some costs involved....but it is pretty painless.

Thanks Bobby...makes perfect sense.

Now, I just need to buy some magnification so my old eyes can pick what cards to submit!

I don't agree with bobby on PSA topics, but admire his ability to boldly stand up for himself.

I'm In! Will try to ship Wednesday.

I should be able to ship mine Wednesday also.
Thanks Bobby!

Are you able to do reviews as part of this bulk deal? Typically you would just pay an additional shipping cost, but not sure you have factored that in? I will send roughly 25 if so.

Thanks

Reviews are NOT part of the deal. These will all be raw cards.

Okay no problem. I will still consider if I can send you some, but I need to submit for review more. Maybe you can do a 2nd sub of reviews only sometime?

Hi Bobby.

Count me in for around 20.

I'll have them in the mail to you by Friday.

Hi Bobby,

I have 20 cards going out USPS Priority in tomorrow's mail. Please confirm receipt via pm.

Thanks,
Jeff

I will be sending you some cards as well. Thanks for putting this together!

Dave

I may do a few, when do you need cards by? and where do I send to?

Address posted earlier in the thread to avoid these types of questions...lol...as far as WHEN.....Let's say by Sept 15....although that date always gets moved due to stragglers.

Call it like it is.;)

Bobby - thanks so much for doing this . . . AGAIN!!

I have one '61 Union Oil PCL card. Size is 3" x 4". Sokay? Also a few Topps '52.

The 1952 Topps are definitely OK.....they CAN NOT be bigger than Tall Boys....here is the largest they can be....

3 1/2" x 5 1/6

They MUST be that size or smaller. And cards only. No pins. No coins.

Hi Bob, I have 10 T206 that I'll send later this week. Thanks again.

Bobby, same here. Getting together about 10-15 by early next week.

I sent 18 yesterday, 8/21.
Thanks

Yes, when are they needed by?

Sept 15th

Sent. Thanks Bobby

Three little cards on their way - thank you. Make it Four!!!

Bobby, I have this 1997 Topps Certified Autograph Willie Mays card. Does it count...or does the auto throw a monkey wrench into the works?

Attachment 363776

Wouldn't mind getting it into a protective slab. Have a Tony Gonzalez somewhere, too.

I forgot the date range....new cards are OK....but yes...it throws a monkey into the wrench...I think...they won't grade the auto.

Inevitable

Just thought I’d get these out of the way up front. 🤓

And, last but not least - THANKS, BOBBY!!

LOL....I don't think some of the guys realize how time consuming this is.......

Bobby,

Sent 8 cards your way today...estimated delivery is Tuesday.

Just realized I meant to include a check but forgot...will pay via PayPal!

Thanks again for doing this...didn’t send anything high value, but interested to see what grades they get (yes, I understand I could have a LONG wait!)

Have to send the Mays on a dual submission, not bulk. Misses the year cutoff by one.

Just to clarify. I couldn't care less what the autograph is graded, I just want the card itself graded (so it'll be protected inside a slab). Is that okay, or is it a no-go?? The card was issued/put in a pack with the autograph on it, so it's not like submitting some random card that I got signed later, right?

1998-present pack pulled cards are okay for PSA in bulk submissions, not before. Must go through PSA/DNA dual service to get this card graded.

bulk sub psa
 

I may have 4 or 5 cards. Will send by September 10.

All paid up. Bobby, thank you again. These community subs are fun.

:cool:!

7 1952 topps heading your way

I can imagine. Thanks for putting this together. I will get my cards sent out Wednesday or Thursday.

Just sent out 11 cards to you.

Are 52-55 Red Mans too big?

More advice needed...

In scanning through my cards to find ones worthy of grading through Bobby's group sub, I've come to a fork in the road. This second-year 1964 Pete Rose is obviously way off center and verging on miscut, but the card sells for a decent amount in all grades, so I'd like to have it graded simply to make it easier to move sometime down the road (hopefully a long time from now).

Attachment 365246Attachment 365247

Here's the problem. The corners are nicely squared and the only really visible 'problem' is that tiny notch (so to speak) at the top (which looks 1000% worse in the scan than it does in real life). But, and it's a big but...on back there are 4 microscopic black dots that I have to assume are marks. No matter how much they are magnified, I can't tell what the heck they are, and the cardboard isn't indented from a pen. If this card was graded, I assume the MK qualifier would take precedence, correct? Even though it's wildly OC, it would get whatever grade they deem it is with an MK on the label, or does it get downgraded due to the centering PLUS the added qualifier??


As an example, here's a random Pete Rose RC (screengrab from ebay) that is also obviously way OC, but it got a ST designation instead...
Attachment 365248

Should I get my '64 Rose graded? Opinions are very welcome.

I would get the Rose graded and not think twice about it.

Up to 295 and cards still coming in.

I sent 20 yesterday via Priority.
