p.s.a. card submission help

[LarryWalkerFan]

Thanks guys. I'm not worried about it being a counterfeit. I live in Charlotte and received these cards myself. 10 days before my 14th birthday. I have all my stuff from that game. Ice cream helmets, regular helmet, tickets, wristbands, caps, cups, etc....

In that case, you should definitely submit them to PSA. Now, given you got them as a teen birthday gift, what kind of condition are the cards in? Would you be willing/able to post a photo of the cards? Maybe someone can help do a grade estimate for you.

That would be nice, but I don't know how to do that?

If you have a flatbed scanner, scan them at 300-400 dpi. If not, just take a photo so the card is straight-on as opposed to at an angle.

Ok I took picture, if there's anyone who might have a decent guess. I can send it to whoever? Thanks again for any help. Sorry I'm so technically challenge'd.

I personally would use PSA over SGC (my Ripken/Charlotte card is in a PSA holder)...Do you live anywhere near a show where PSA may be set up? That way you could talk to a rep and sub it in person....On a "raw" card, I'd use a declared value of $2500

Thank you. I live in charlotte. I don't think they do shows here anymore. I think the closest to me would be chantilky or atlanta. Do you think if I declared the value of 2500, if it is more. They would not keep my money and contact me for more money if need be? I don't know what there policy would be on that. . Anyone have this situation come up before?

I would still say $4500, unless the card looks damaged (dented corners, creased, etc). It doesn't cost you any more (fee & return postage are same for $2500 or $4500), and if it's lost or damaged while with PSA, you'll get a higher settlement.
