Why Am I "Addicted" (to Tracking Bids on My Consignments)?

OR - you should have held it another couple months and gotten more for it...

Yuck, who tells the wife about their hobby dealings? Oops, can that be held against me if my wife ever reads this post?

So......how much did it cost to grade hose 10 cards including shipping?

Because the advent of the internet has injected humanity with a serious and oft unhealthy dopamine addition.

Great question. I did some research on this by going to the PSA website and found the order I placed for grading those 10 Topps baseball cards from 1970 was done in October 2018. But PSA doesn't include the TOTAL dollars I paid for the order. Soooo....back then economy pricing was still available at $20 per card, as I recall. I know that's what I would have gone with. So my guestimate would be about $250 (including shipping). Hope this helps. Peace and stay healthy!
