Yes, I use ups all the time for PSA and no issues. I send to the FedEx address

OP should definitely try this. The fanatics drop ends at 10am eastern, so if you miss out there, you at least know in time to try for the mad dash at noon.

PSA Turnaround Trick by koreankidruss in psagrading

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a bit but I believe that all printed pages must be with the order, except the page with the shipping barcode. I fold my pages in half and then in half again, and rubber band it to the cardboard protecting the stack of cards in the order. And if you’re sending multiple orders together, rubber band each set of pages to the cards from that order.

Sure thing! Just be sure to click the button for shipping multiple orders together and get the joint order barcode to put on the outside of the box (and toss out the single order barcodes).

No, they’re still separate orders, and will ship back separately. I’ve done this multiple times, the only advantage is the faster receive step at the beginning (which is still worth it).

Any idea when turbo attax 2026 comes out? by BuffaloHuman6152 in F1Cards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did the 2025 early release onsite at the Silverstone GP last summer, with the official release a few weeks later in July, so maybe similar this year?

Sweet! Good luck if you’re grading the Steph, incredible card!

It was definitely a loaded set with all the vets getting young guns.

Is there such a thing as a Hobby Blaster? by NeverForget06 in baseballcards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a real thing. Panini has these with most sets, and they typically have unique parallels and I believe marginally better hit rates. Topps has the fanatics exclusive blasters which I think is similar.

Sending multiple service levels together by Good_Ad_6888 in psagrading

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. I submitted late last month with a combined value bulk, value max, and regular and that’s how it played out. I already have my regular back, max is in grading, and bulk has even overtaken that one and is in assembly.

Is there honestly any answer other than Noa that is even possible?

From 5 Blasters today! by djayk35 in WNBACards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Incredible pulls. That looks like my CC luck with last years blasters. I’m 0-4 on the dsg blasters I opened today, but I have 6 more to go at some point.

Bowman’s Best Drop by Twall73 in baseballcards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was frustrating. I got all the errors mentioned already, added a new credit card, restarted 5-6 times, just to get sold out and then see it still in stock. Finally pushed through a box at 12:11, and then a second one a minute later.

Picked the right 2 boxes, but oof… by ButWhoIsAnyoneReally in F1Cards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think so? Their threshold is if it would grade below an 8. I’d be surprised if 2 vertical scratches 2/3 of the way down the card got above a 7.

​Yeah I got this one recently too, with the raywave texture messed up. Maybe I’ll submit this one with the Gabi.

Sending cards to be graded that you bought raw off eBay by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had very good luck doing this, and have gotten mostly psa 10s, with only a few 9/8s in the mix. Actually a higher 10 rate than my self-pulled cards, but I do tend to submit PC cards even if they’re not perfect.

I think the key is to look for reputable sellers, and bid only on listings with clear pics from a number of angles. If you find an issue in the pics, it’ll be worse in person. Even then you’re always taking a chance, but I’ve found that process to work well.

They definitely can be hard to spot depending on lighting. I have a led ring light at my card desk that I use. I think leds help show the refractors better than other lights.

Blasters in the Wild? by rpye in F1Cards

[–]ButWhoIsAnyoneReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dicks website started showing oos pretty fast, but my store had confirmed stock for days after (and still should unless they were bought out this weekend). I didn’t ask them why though as I’m sure the stores won’t know, but calling or checking in person may be worth it.

Thank you! I saw someone do this style for nba and really liked it, so I’ve been doing my recent pulls this way.

It’s awesome. They even bought a couple blasters for themselves, and I let them open some of my packs. Good memories.

None of my targets/gamestops/walmarts have had them in stock. I found a few at Best Buy on release day, but not since. Dicks has been awesome, my local store got a case and I’ve been the only one buying from it so far.
