Call it like it is.

[pclpads]

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.

[bobbyw8469]

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.

[Sean]

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

[PowderedH2O]

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

[BruceinGa]

I sent 18 yesterday, 8/21.
Thanks

[Republicaninmass]

Sent. Thanks Bobby

[wondo]

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?

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.

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

[Mike D.]

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.

Autographed cards dated pre-1998 and/or those not directly from the manufacturer must be sent through Card and Autograph Dual Service (fee may vary depending on card value, see listed restrictions and requirements). Autographed cards dated 1998 and later (direct from manufacturer) can be sent through any of the services listed above (note restrictions and requirements for each level).

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

[lowpopper]

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

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

[jbl79]

Just sent out 11 cards to you.

[nsaddict]

Are 52-55 Red Mans too big?

[JollyElm]

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).

1964rose125front.jpg1964rose125back.jpg

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...

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

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

[bobbyw8469]

Up to 295 and cards still coming in.

[nsaddict]

I sent 20 yesterday via Priority.

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.

Yes do it

[Copa7]

I'd consider it, but SGC just ran a special on our page. And the wait time is just shorter.

But thanks. Maybe next time.

[JollyElm]

Knock on wood. I decided to crack it out and it literally took one swipe of the panty hose to eliminate the dreaded "STAIN." PSA really has to re-establish their official stain guidelines. Gum residue on the glossy surface of a card (especially if it's very small) isn't a stain. Spilling root beer on my 1984 Topps Don Mattingly is a frickin' stain.

[bobbyw8469]

SGC gets nowhere near the money PSA does. Period. I wish they did. But they don't.

We are up to 350.

Maybe we should call psa and get us a discount.

LOL...yea right.......already tried.....not happening.....350 isn't enough to warrant a discount. If we had 350,000...then yes...maybe.

Didn't you contact the member on here that has been called out several times on BO in the trimming scandal? What did he say? I think he still posts on here saying he can get discounts at PSA.

I don't know who you refer to? I do remember one guy saying he got discounts. But I never saw how that was possible. Because they just DO NOT give discounts. That would be like Disney saying you can get in the park for $20. It just ain't happening.

[mullings]

I'm in with 9 cards, hockey and baseball. Thanks for all your updates for past cards

[Huck]

Bobby,

12 cards coming your way. The package should be there on Monday. That is what the postmaster claimed.

Thank you for undertaking this effort.

The due date was posted a while back, and if not changed, everyone has had ample time to get their cards in
