Good Luck on the grades! May they all come back as 9.5 or higher.

Thanks Joe, yeah I like the Jose too...but I really can't wait to get the Donaldson back!

Best of luck...cards look nice and are a nice collection of players. Let us know how it turns out. I'm particular to the Jose Fernandez....awesome looking card.

Just eyeballing from the photos but both the Blackmon chromes look off center to me... not sure if its enough to hurt the grades or not without measuring it out. Nice lot of cards love those Gold Chrome RC autos... still have not hit anything bigger than an Bryant Prism out of Chrome this year. Good luck on the grades love to see them encased.

Thanks man, that would be huge!

I hope your eyeballs are deceiving you and you are wrong...lol Keep at the Chrome...there is a lot of good hits in it this year, especially retail.

Cards are now in the hands of USPS (don't let me down) and on their way to Dallas!

Cards arrived safe and sound and I should have them within 10 days!

Good luck once again!! You know Ive always been afraid of sending them to get graded lol how did you package them?

[dspainjr]

Thanks man! I sent them in a small Priority flat rate box with insurance. Put each one in a penny sleeve and toploader, put tape over the opening of each, wrapped them in bubble wrap, then filled the rest of the box with bubble wrap. I probably could have gotten away with sending them First Class but did not want to chance it.

At one point, I saw a page suggesting how you package cards.

How I do it is...

1) All standard 20pt cards in Premium sleeve and a semi-rigid holder
2) All thicker cards in a One Touch magnetic holder with a protective sleeve over that
3) All cards stacked between two pieces of cardboard and the the cardboard taped together (no tape on actual cases or sleeves)
4) Wrapped cards in a box with lots of bubble wrap and/or foam peanuts so they don't move around during transit.
5) Send via Priority Mail with LOTS of insurance and delivery confirmation.

I've yet to have anything damaged by USPS handling.

Yep you are right as a suggestion. I do not believe they are going to reject a submission if the toploaders have tape on them or they are not sent with cardboard.
