Yes, booklets are fine. They cost an extra $8 to grade. I also want you to look around on the bay for booklets that have been graded so you can see the slab. It's ginormous...and not everyone is in to that.

No worries! This is a surprise offering by BGS. We'll get back to another 20-day sub after the new year.

There's always room for MORE, we just have to meet the minimum. If everyone who has expressed interest follows through, we'll be good to go. Would love to have you jump in, just sorry you missed combined shipping.

I'm going to try to wear the wife down to send a few in.
Thanks, this came straight from my rep at BGS. Hope you can join in the fun!!! $6 is a steal!

I have to admit that I now ship in the semi-rigids as that's specifically what BGS mentions in their shipping section. Of course, they're well padded in shipping just so there isn't any damage.
And yes, BVG is included. There's no extra charge for that, it's an automatic slab if the card meets the "vintage" standard (1981 I believe)
***** I apologize to everyone, but I probably won't be checking the site too much over the next few days. Hopefully they'll have the site running better. It takes 15 minutes to open a thread, let alone reply, and I don't have the patience for it.
As I said above, if everyone who has expressed interest will commit, we'll have enough to meet the minimum. I'll make a formal thread about the submission on Sunday so everyone knows the rules.
