I really hope you get your luggage and cards back Howard.
Heck, I'm so paranoid about my cards being lost, I won't even mail 'em to PSA or SGC. I've got a bunch of cards just sitting here waiting to be graded, but I just can't mail them out. I've been waiting for three or four years for PSA to come back to a Texas convention to take submissions. SGC as far as I know, has never been to a show in Texas. The free submission vouchers for being a member of the PSA collectors club.....unused and expired
