Update:

We ended up getting a bunch of snow the day of the sports show so we didn't end up making it to get anything graded.

In the meantime I Joined PSA. As I understand the 15 card deal it only applies to cards under $500. Should I send in 20 cards and just expect to pay the difference? If I send in a card and it grades over that do they just bill me the difference? Is there any tips I should know about the mailing in cards process?

My dad was going through some stuff in the basement and found another box of cards which answered some questions I had. I couldn't figure out why he had doubles of everything except the Bazooka All time Greats cards. Turns out the doubles were in another box.



He also had a few baseball player stamps. Turns out those were the doubles of the 3 albums he had collected. I'm guessing these are not worth much due to being put into albums but they are neat because he wrote little notes about the teams and their series records on the pages. He has quite a few of the teams completed in 3 different albums.





He also had this set of weird 3d gun cards or art or whatever they are

No, don't send 5 additional cards with your 15 free coupon. Wait until you select 25 or so that are $100 or less and send them all in on a Club Special for $6/card. You'll need to pay separate shipping back anyways, so there's no real incentive to mail the other five cards right now. Great collection. Thanks for checking back in with an update. You might want to put those stamp albums on eBay as Buy-It-Now/Best Offer. I think that with an auction you might not get the price you want, but if you BIN/BO them, someone will come along and offer you a fair price.

Default do not use penny sleeves

i have seen so many corners get bumped using penny sleeves. also be xareful the way you have them lying all over each other. i advise against handling any of them again except to put in crd savers. the slightest bump makes a world of difference. there are cars between 5-8 from the way the scans look.

Hi OP, that is an awesome collection and find. Literally what most of us dream about.

I love that you decided to go slow and do research. Sounds like you are having fun doing so.

Be sure to properly pack and insure anything you send off to PSA. It was mentioned earlier but I'll repeat. If and when you decide to sell, you may want to consider probstein or pwcc. Both have lots of eyes eatching their auctions. This is especially true if you sell off some of the better grades superstars to assist in financing things.

One more thing...anything Mantle sells. If you get a 7 or 8 mantle, it's a big deal.
