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.......

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!)

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).

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.

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).

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