ARBY's comes to mind.....

The animated Grinch is Boris Karloff at his vocal finest.

Had a late lunch of Jimmy John's then the Mrs made homemade fried chicken for dinner...I feel more full than I did on Thanksgiving...Threw a random bid out on a box of Draft. Not expecting to win it, but if I do, I'll be pretty happy. lol.

MojoDan · Nov 29, 2012

Good luck with your bid sir.

Okay, question for you gents who do regular grading submissions- How do you tell if a card is worth sending in? I'm talking about new cards, not vintage or anything like that. Maybe it's just me, but I can't really tell the difference between most cards unless there is an obvious flaw like soft corners, horribly OC, chipped, etc. But the surface stuff and whatnot, I just don't get.

EDIT- Thanks Dan. I've had an itch to bust a box but need to find something cheap. Wal-Mart has a box of 07 Artifacts for $60 but I'm afraid of expired redemptions and people messing with boxes there.

Post some good scans and we can provide thoughts.

Evening Gents! Had some free time during work today and was able to post all the hits in the free USA break. If you had a spot and wondered what you got go check it out

Some of what was posted I think were off by one box as, for example, I had slot #69 but it was in the 7th box, not the 6th.

No problem man. Just keeping track of what is where. Still waiting on Bret Hart from ebay too.

Anyone have any cool NY Giants autos to trade for a George Clooney cut auto? I have two Clooney's and only need one!

Scans will have to wait as I don't have a scanner. I'll get them scanned up Monday when I can use the scanners on campus. I just wasn't sure if there were any tricks to it.

Just passing the request along is a great gesture. Thanks!!

Yes, look for minor edge chipping and surface scratches, a small loop magnifying lens helps a ton. Centering is a trained eye, after you see enough cards you can see OC at 55/45
