Thanks Bobby, so we send a check with the cards or wait for later. Been a while since I subbed.

me too! I've never done a group sub.

The process that I like is that I get a paypal f/f when I receive your cards. When everyone does the same thing, I don't have to remember who did what.

You are joking right???? You had the biggest hit out of all my group subs thus far.

Shipping ready, on the way today...
 

Well, that was interesting. Had a number iof cards in mind but, after not looking at a few for like six years, it was like WTH was I thinking? Oh yeah, UTL Gretzky.

Sending eleven. This is my rookie bulk so...you will drop us a line when cards are received and look for f/f, with what, $1 a card for shipping?

Thanks for doin this, Bobby, much appreciated.

Bingo

Deadline is end of the month,

Thanks for the info Bobby and thanks for organizing.

not me! I have subbed individually once in my life with a 33 Goudey Gehrig I bought on this site. It came back Auth Alt, and it created a shit show when the seller wouldn't give a refund. There is a thread about it somewhere.

Sorry for the confusion then??? I wonder who that was?

I remember now. It was Tony Ooten. You are Tim Odeen. I wonder why they wouldn't slab that Gehrig with an "A"??? Did you want a number grade?

seller in his description wrote "I guarantee it will grade." To me, and many others on the site, that means 1-10. Regardless, he refused a refund because SGC took roughly 6 months to authenticate it in 2020. He argued "Auth" is a grade in and of itself, and I disagreed. So I posted it in a thread and then the fireworks started. Seller was kicked off Net54. My thread was paired with another thread on the same day that provided huge entertainment on Net54. The other thread turned into a roast and lots of memes.

Classic thread and very entertaining

I wish I could recall the other thread. It had to do with listing Mantles? (53T maybe) for exorbitant prices by a brand new member. Usual "I know how much my cards are worth." Some more experienced Net54 members tried to kindly tell him how much the cards should sell for, because many of us were interested - they were nice cards. But unlike spam threads where the OP never posts again, the OP responded with "OK Boomer." And then the memes started flooding in. That was a funny one. I worked until midnight on the weekends with no authentic work past 10pm. that was the highlight of the night. ROFLMAO.

Oh yeah, that guy was classic.

What is everyone's opinion on SGC? Better than PSA? There ARE certain aspects about them that I like.

I like both but I prefer PSA right now. I don't like the Tuxedo black as much as many others, especially because it shows scuffs and scratches on the holder more prominently and I have had several cards get stuck under the black insert.

That being said having a $1500 value limit for their lowest tier, and ability to submit multiple sized cards in the same order are a huge advantage and why I still use them sometimes.

The fact that they still charge $100 minimum (unless it was updated with the new prices) for an oversized holder, and full grading prices for reholders are a huge downside.

I also have a handful of cards for your next PSA vintage sub.

I remember that guy. Here is the thread for your entertainment.

Justin...my PSA membership runs out in 2 weeks. I was toying with the idea of not renewing. Crazy, huh? I have been a member for 14 years. I dunno....as much as I love the hobby, I am not too thrilled about the direction it is taking.

OK...winding this one up.

I'll be shipping out on Monday Bobby

My biggest likes are that the holder looks so much nicer than the others and their grading in my opinion is way more accurate.

The bad is that beautiful holder is a POS. I find it harder to get a good picture of cards in their slab because of glare and if you just look at it too long it might leave a mark/scratch in the holder.

Mine will go out to you today, Bobby.

Sending out today, Saturday.

Sending mine out Monday

Thanks Bobby

Cards shipped to you today.

Bobby
 

I ended up sending 36 cards- I will pp/ff when they arrive.

Thanks again!

Bob

Oh wow.

8 more heading your way tomorrow

I have 5 going out today

Totally and truly last call. I just got back from my vacation this morning, and picked up 5 or so packages. If your tracking shows I have the package and haven't asked for payment yet, that is why. I will be contacting people soon.

OK....who subbed the cards without any paperwork!!??!?!?!?! Is that a gift for me????? The Kashin Babe Ruth???

I think you’ve earned it, Bobby, congrats! Lmao

Bobby, have all the stragglers finally sent you their cards?

Is this train leaving the station on 11/1/22?

Officially closed!!! We are currently sitting at 198. And I haven't really looked through my stash yet. I have been too busy entering others. If you have sent cards and I have NOT asked for payment of any sort, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!! If I have NOT asked for payment, I do not have your cards!!!! Everything has been entered!

OK...Im packing these up and getting them out.

Final tally = 209.

SGC is trying to charge me $400 for return shipping!!!!!

Didn't know this sub was filled with '52 Mantles.

Contact Brent Martin at SGC.

brent@gosgc.com

I’m assuming that the return shipping rate is contingent on the number of submitted cards and their value. You indicated there were over 200 cards.

If the average card value is $150.00 (I believe this was my average), then the total value is $30,000.00 (200 cards x $150.00).

$400.00 return shipping equates to 1.33% of the package’s total value for shipping expenses and insurance. Is this reasonable? I don’t know and have never shipped this many cards or for this much money. Maybe $400.00 is the correct rate. I have no clue. Just trying to understand and rationalize the $400.00 amount.

Out of curiosity, what is the total declared value of all cards? Maybe it would be cheaper breaking the total submission into four smaller ones of around 50 cards each? No clue. We appreciate all the hard work and headaches that come with running these submissions groups, Bobby.

What would PSA charge for a similar submission?

A few years I did 200 card sub to SGC. It arrived in 2 huge boxes packaged beyond secure.

Around $150.

The total declared value is 68k. What you say makes perfect sense. Break down one huge order into 3, 70 card orders. Value each one under their $25k threshold, and walla. Problem solved. The only negative part is I already entered all the cards. It is a pain in the ass to delete cards and reenter everything. I emailed SGC. Let's see what they say. It's a shame they have no phone number to speak to a living human.

How do these guys not have a phone number?

Yeah, that is weird. Before the company moved to Florida, I used the opportunity to call whenever I had issues or questions. Always super helpful. Have not submitted a card for grading for at least six years...

Is this the ‘modern’ version now of service? Hope not.

I found this number for SGC on-line (800) 742-9212.

This whole order is turning into a nightmare. I dummied up a second order. Stopped just shy of their 25k threshhold, and still wasn't given an option for USPS shipping. And unlike PSA, they want their money up front. I m trying to get this shipping ordeal right. If they can't fix this though, then I grossly undercharged for shipping.

Bobby, im assuming the extra $1 you charge covers shipping to SGC correct?

If it's $400 to ship back to you then that's what it is. So we each have to Pony up another $1.91 per card to cover it, correct?

Don't stress over it, we'll work it out.

Be chill. We will all survive the extra shipping...

LOLOLOLOLOL......sounds good. Being chill sounds good. I have a tendancy to get wound up. Brent and I hashed out everything. Cards will go out Monday.

Any insight into what can be done about shipping charges would be appreciated.

They have to change it on their end manually. Their computer system only allows one way due to the value. I have spoken with Brent and they will handle the shipping on their end. I just want something comparable to what PSA charges.

Thanks for working it out, Bobby!! You're the best 'sharepopper' ever!!!!

I doubt that, but I'm not too shabby for a non professional.

any update on mailing and receipt by SCG?

These went out Saturday. Due to the value of the package, I sent Registered Mail. It is the safest, albeit the slowest. Last I checked, it was floating around Florida.

Don't say floating when a hurricane is in town :eek:

The package is Registered. I doubt very seriously they want to pay out if the package gets lost.

Due to arrive today.

Due to arrive to SGC today? OR Due to arrive back to you from SGC today?

If the latter, wow that was fast!

SGC received them today....lolololololol.....they were sent Registered due to the value.....that takes a little time.

Thanks - I'm hoping we get this SGC order and the last PSA one (I think we submitted it in August) before Christmas.

Definitely SGC will be. PSA?? Let's reserve judgement on that one...lol

Guys.....we have a MAJOR problem with how SGC entered the order in. When I submit under PSA, they enter the order in the exact same way I have them on the form. That way I am able to group everyone's cards together and can know whose card is whose when ya'll submit multiple copies of the same card!

SGC did NOT do that!! They entered the cards in a totally random order. So for the multiple people that entered in multiple copies of the same card, I have no idea whose is whose. This is a MAJOR problem!!!!!

hopefully everyone has scans or photos of the cards they sent.

Can you share a list of the cards in the sub? so we can see which cards are multiple, to start rounding up scans if need be?

Also, for guys that had newer cards with autographs on them, they wanted to know if you wanted the card graded, the auto graded, or both????

The unique ones wont be the issue. The 1958 Mantle All Stars will be an issue.

Is that the list? its asking me to log into spectrum webmail and I don't have that.

Ditto

Same here.

What a Charlie Foxtrot. I, too, can't open the list. Hopefully, there were not too many duplicate cards. To further complicate matters, I know I submitted multiple copies of the same card. If several others also submitted multiple copies then the fun begins.

Multiple copies of the same card is not the issue. My problem will arise if two different people submitted 1958 Mickey Mantle All Stars. For example, only 1 person submitted W202's. Only one person submitted a Kashin Ruth. Only 1 person submitted some T206 mega stars. Something like a 1960 Carl Yastremski though, I might have more than one person subbing stuff. Phil is helping me look into things. I forwarded him the list (before it got all disarrayed).

We will all do whatever is needed to help out this situation, and more importantly, to avoid giving you a heart attack, Bobby.

Could you post a list in chronological order of the cards that were submitted, so we can see which ones have multiple copies? From there, whoever has one of those could find scans, pics, whatever, to show which card is theirs.

I forwarded Phil the original list. I can get you one too Darren.

I'm happy to help out as well if needed, Bobby.

I think I can follow it. It will just take a different strategy than dealing with PSA. WIth PSA, I simply put all the cards in chronological order and matched them up with the sheets.

With SGC, I will take the sheets and match them up with the cards. And hopefully I didn't have guys send the exact same card.
