Fastest place to get holders for BGS submission?

[thebigoriole81]

Looking to take advantage of the BGS special and saw that my card shop here in town has gone out of business. Does anybody know of a place that can ship me some card holders for BGS submission by Friday if I place the order today?

Where are you from? Baltimore?

Nope, Maine

I thought you don't need the holders.

Since Wieters is VERY well-known in my ol' Bawlmer, I didn't think there was a baseball card shop closing around here...

Nice to know there's a good Wieters collector out there (like myself).

Supposedly you have to submit in a CardSaver I or similar in a penny sleeve. I've got plenty of sleeves and toploaders, but no CardSavers...

I sent most of my cards in penny sleeves when I subbed.

You can send in with toploaders. They only recommend the card savers. Ive sent in with toploaders with no problems.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just ship out in toploaders if I can't find the card savers around here...

How many do you want? I can sell you 100 or 200 and ship them out today via Priority Mail. I also offered some free "used" ones in a thread a while back: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27737

Basically, I just ask you to pay for the shipping for the "free" ones.

PM me for more info.

If I may add my two cents here:

Go the any post office. They have free 'flat rate boxes' for the taking, take a few.

Place each card in a penny sleeve. And then cut a toploader size piece of cardboard. tape the toploader to the cardboard and sandwich one on top of another, tape together as necessary. Wrap in bubble wrap and you will be all set.

I just submitted 141 cards to BGS doing it this way, though I had tons of cardboard boxes in the basement.....I have a pair of black and decker electric scissors that works wonders for these occasions. Fit in a nice box and cost 20 bucks to mail with insurance, they received it just fine the other day.

Taking 141 cards out of toploaders is difficult and time consuming. They just want to expedite things. a piece of tape on the top and bottom of each sleeve (taped to the cardboard) takes two seconds. Remember to fold each piece of tape over on itself to create a tab for them to pull to remove easier.
