I'm starting to think that you have a warehouse of boxes.

Not a warehouse, but I ripped lots of stuff throughout my 30+ years of collecting and simply put it in boxes in closet(s). There is lots of “junk” but I have lots of jewels also, some I did not even know about like the Curry’s and Harden’s. My wax breaking has not stopped completely, but I probably open on 10-15% of what I use to open. I have yet to open a single hobby pack of Prizm basketball or likely anything else that has a price tag of $100 plus a pack. When Donruss is priced like a high end product no thanks. Same can be said fir Select Hobby football.

Fortunately for me, going through these random boxes have been profitable or could be based on what I have at PSA.

Probably will wait to submit for a bit until I figure out where and when. Was planning on CSG until they got overloaded and still haven't had my 25 day turnaround ones checked into the system.

But can't wait to see how some of these grade. Many of these I've found in a collection I've been going through and hadn't been touched in over a decade (at least)...and a number of ones for the pc as well (Poole's/Norman)...

That Parish card is blazing for 77 Topps. Love the variety in there.

Thanks! Someone took pretty bad pictures of it on eBay and it sat over a week. I took a chance and got it for $16.31 with taxes/shipping. The back of the card is centered perfectly like the front and I am expecting a PSA 8 at worse. Even under magnification the corners still look sharp.

I have one more spot left for my 15 and these are my 4 finalists. I think I am leaning towards the Henderson with the insane price his cards are drawing. The 1975 cards would be for my HOF rookie PC, but may not be worth using the voucher on. Which one would people choose here or should I just keep raw and be more picky?

More waiting. Although some might go to CSG with subs depending on the 11 cards that are still not entered in their system from 3/23.

23 Ohtani rookies.

With the tougher grades I have a stack that is now around 120.

$150 submissions coming July 1st. Doubt anything under $100 will be available until October 1st. I took part of my send to PSA pile and sent to SGC. That is having my vouchers I could send in. Even my vouchers wont be graded until the 2022-23 NBA season. My patience is over at this point.

I think my brother and I are sitting on around 500 cards at the moment and the stack will keep growing. A lot of it will determine what prices PSA opens at and if they offer a bulk option again. If PSA is too expensive may need to consider alternate grading sources, however with PSA far outselling the competitors it is worth the wait to see.

Another reason psa will never have bulk for cheap.

Does anyone happen to remember what the minimum number of cards per bulk submissions were back in the day? It was fun trying out the other graders but I'm ready to return to reality and actually plan for the future.
