Recent slab pickups / grading

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Since I can't locate some slabs, I'll scan the ones I can locate and inventory girls gonna bounce around
Some 1998 / 1999 various slabs of various types / manufacturers. Love all the Pacific/ Leaf / Skybox from that period
The Show business slabs always been one of my favorites. Just got bsck the Silver UD3 Die Cut, had the bronze forever

Some Yankees slabs that have come back in the last 6 months now scanned
Posada and Matsui from a Silver Predictor set I bought years ago for the Clemens
The Mantle's a card from a box break 3 years ago of 2006 Finest baseball from my storage. Already did the Xfractor I had.

Have to use the phone to post here's hoping this works right

Bunch more scans done of stuff I've let sit forever that needs to find a new home
Some Barry low pops, Heltons from the PC, Ripken Green Linen and a few knick knacks
After the last two Mint 9 I finally nailed a PSA 10 on the Piazza
The Helton Full Count- first 9 cards or so of that Full Count series are the Blue #/100 versions

Freddy's been sitting forever in my dust covered " to be graded" box = time to bring him out of the cold

Had to fill out an 80's sub on one of the PSA specials, so I took some opened boxes that have been lying around gathering dust and subbed some 80's cards
A few head scratchers otherwise the sub was accurately graded
I had taken the Clemens out of the sets years ago and graded them and the rest have been lying around forever

Hopefully BGS pops my National subs soon so I can add another whole bunch of base 1990's Clemens to my registry

Had a card show about two weeks ago in Vegas and SGC was advertising $15 per card, 10 business day turnaround. First time I have used them and they didn't disappoint in that aspect, already got the cards back. They wouldn't grade three of them because they had blank serial numbers where there should have been a serial number. Other than that, I am pleased with the grades although my lowest graded card (Griffey 8.5) to me was the best looking card to the naked eye. Go figure.

Nice slabs ! Which show ? and was it any good ?

Nice slabs ! Which show ? and was it any good ?

The Front Row card show inside the Rio Casino.....it was big, about 300 tables. I honestly didn't look around too much, I knew I would get myself in trouble if I did. I went straight to the back where SGC was set up, submitted my cards, and was out in about 30 min. I did hear a couple of guys talking about how everything was overpriced and none of the dealers were budging which is pretty much par for the course.

Sadly I work weekends and haven't attended a single Vegas show since 2008
Take some pics next time I'd like to see the set ups

Used to be a Diamond Club member long ago when times were better. I ate breakfast at Paris and dinners at Rio's buffet
Left when they started screwing locals . They can hammer my play but when they f--cked with my food that was the straw that broke the camels back

 

[OakAth]

That was the first time I have been at the Rio in probably 15 years.....it is a shell of its former self. All of the new strip casinos have made it obsolete and I am guessing there in an implosion in its future. I live way up in Red Rock, I don't even go down to the strip anymore unless it is for a Knights game or Raider game.

Back to cards after a month away and catching up scans again
Some PSA returns, mostly all 2007 Playoff NFL Playoffs Metalized foil cards as I teach myself what PSA looks for on them
Getting better but still not where I wanna be. Then again I use my eyes old school
These will be most the Black Metalized # /49 versions before I dive into lower numbers

Will come back to my BGS Clemens in a bit. I need to visit my storage soon for a sale I made also, so maybe I will find the missing slabs I need
Sorry for big pics= foil cards confuse my scanner = so camera pics had to be used on front
Working to rid myself of the mirror effects

More of the 2007 NFL Playoffs cards scanned
Wish BGS would come out with a display stand for their stuff ( queue the hint section)
Eli now joins his brother Peyton ( slabbed him a year earlier)

Also got back two Orange Disco Prizm cards from the 4 boxes of 2021 Prizm football Fanatics Blasters I broke a few months back
Out of 40 or so packs just two cards had good centering and were worthy of being subbed
These Orange Disco Prizm were Fanatics exclusives

More from the Red Sox PC I used to concentrate on now slabbed
Nowadays I take out a few boxes from storage to fill out slab submissions for various specials
All from box / set breaks over the years

Additonal backlogs of Red Sox Pedro Martinez and Fred Lynn now caught up
Proving to me at last pack fresh never means pack perfect as most were fresh box breaks over the years
The Lynn Reserve is off L-R just not as much as it appears pic wise

Sent in some vintage to round out a PSA bulk sub a long while back. All 3 came back 1 grade higher than expected
Teaching myself PSA's new variables so I know what to look for on my vintage subbed stuff
Since I eyeball old school - gotta sacrifice some lambs to get the rewards later on

This sub took forever due to unplanned issues with subbers not paying- popped months later than I expected
Almost caught up on these PSA slabs - got about 30 more left to scan and can switch to my BGS stuff again

2004 Donruss Elite Andre Dawson & Lee Smith Extra Edition Draft Class Dual Auto /50 PSA 8

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

More shiny stuff now photographed / scanned so I can move on to my BGS slabs
PSA of course combined pop reports for different letters of the Spellbounds ( why ??) so they are getting the 2023 Grinch award for this and other things
I have a few dozen more PSA slabs but insurance gals not taking no for an answer on my Clemens stuff so back to that we go

The Finest Astros are part of my PSA Finest sets being given new homes

Just cannot seem to swim out of these PSA slabs to get to my BGS Clemens stuff
More important than personal PC scans, so I'll keep scanning the PSA until I see the floor
Most came from box breaks years ago except the Springer which I saw cheaply priced on ebay years ago
