How do you manage your excess Flips ?

Great point David, I hadn't thought of that.

I guess I was just thinking more along the lines that if I had all of these flips I would sort of want to keep them, maybe in case I was ever to sell the card I could send it along with the card, but still have the TPG's adjust their pop reports.

Sincerely,Clayton

If you still have the card then there is no issue of having duplicates in the population reports after you crack it out.

I think you should bust out the card and mail the card to the TPG and keep the flip. More people collect the plastic holders than collect the cards.

I keep my flips and turn them in every so often. I make sure that I do this timely when I have cards that have very low total pops when I crack and send to a different TPG. I did talk to a representitive of one of them and I was told that PSA and SGC do not communicate with each other when they do crossovers. I asked because I knew of a very high profile card that was crossed.

Gary - I don't think there is any bias at all. These operations are too busy, and these guys in the industry understand there are multiple reasons why someone cracks the slabs.

Clayton - Customer Service has to receive the flips in hand before pop reports get purged. (Also, I recommend getting a person at Customer Service to mail them to someone who will take responsibility. At SGC, I send them to Michael, the C/S Mgr, and at PSA, I send them to a C/S Rep, Laura, who is very helpful)

I like part of my collection raw, and the other part of it in slabs. Heck, I just sent in 35 cards to get graded by SGC, so for me it is some of both.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys -
