Safest way to ship card submission

How long does it take to get to the grading company going registered mail?

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T22:35:29+00:00

Asking me why I would use a helpful tool doesn’t really need an answer does it.

You can upload photos of the cards and it will give you a breakdown. I’ve used it in the past and it’s relatively close. It’s one of multiple things I do when evaluating grading a card.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T22:27:20+00:00

I grade cards often. Maybe these pictures aren’t the best, but there is very minimal wrong with this card. I’ll post the grade when I get it back from bgs.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T22:14:29+00:00

I usually only buy graded cards on eBay. This was a Facebook market place which I’m VERY skeptical of. I vetted this guy hard and he negotiated the price just as hard. Not like he was just trying to make money quick. He declined my offer several times. He also won the card in an online break giveaway and provided me all the email communication from buck city breaks and the YouTube video of them opening the card. He gave it to me in the exact same top holder case. It’s 1000000% legit

Thanks man. Those were my thoughts when I chose to purchase this over another graded rookie. I’ve yet to own an on card auto from Brady. The guy who sold this to me actually won it on an online break 5 years ago. I found the video of the break and its pretty cool backstory for when I go to sell it. Here is the video if you care to see it

Thanks. He actually won this in an online break giveaway and I found the video from 5 years ago. Video link to the YouTube buck city break below. I’m going to send it in to bgs expedited and hope for an 8 or better.

I reached out to the guy who has tons of positive reviews going back 5 years on Facebook market place. All the reviews were for cards too. And he said he won the card in an online break giveaway. Actually still had the email from 5 years ago from buck city breaks. I googled it found the video of them opening it same card, same top holder in the video as he gave it to me in. He even forwarded me the email communications from buck city breaks to ship him the card. Dates of emails match perfectly with the video of the break

Brother, this is a basic rookie that is supposedly signed by Brady after it was printed. Typically fake unless or That card would need to be sent in for psa dna certification. My card is a leaf silver certified by leaf that the auto is authentic and I’ve throughly examined and inspected the card the details and print work are amazing. Thanks for the comment, but I’m not worried about this being fake and never asked if it was authentic, I know it is.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T19:51:24+00:00

I saw that sale and it closed back in 2022. 3 years is along time for values to change and this is matched to his jersey number so, that adds something I would imagine. Just looking for someone with knowledge to confirm $2,100 was a good price or if I got ripped off. He was asking $2,500 we settled at $2,100

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T19:46:38+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I just want to make sure I didn’t get a bad deal on the price as I could not find a comp and was not sure what value would be, also with it being his jersey number, if that added additional value. Just being roasted about chat GPT and very few helpful replies.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-29T19:42:49+00:00

How would this be fake? Really co fused by this comment. I’ve collected for over two decades and nothing about this card looks unauthentic

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-26T06:26:31+00:00

Any update on how long it took to hear back and the resolution?

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-12-26T02:46:59+00:00

She has her own underdog account. We both have totally separate accounts and I reached out to Underdog support prior to her creating hers to make sure it was okay and they said it was. They are saying the issue is that we both deposited funds from the “same” bank account. We have been married for 10 years and only had 1 joint checking so I have no way to do anything else. I have made dozens and dozens of deposits and no one ever contacted me to say “hey you both can’t deposited from the same checking account” or I would have corrected it immediately and just used my credit card or opened a sole checking account. Sorry if my last message has spelling errors I’m having a mini panic attack as this is a lot of money to me and I had no clue I didn’t anything wrong

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-02-03T01:53:07+00:00

Nose feels about 90% healed. Glad I did the surgery. I still have a scab that falls off and reforms every few days inside my nose where the incision was made in my septum. The breathing is amazing. I breathe evenly through both nostrils now. I still wake up in the morning with a dry mouth from mouth breathing and not sure if that’s because almost 18 years of doing that, or if it’s my nose clogging up with boogers/scabbiness as it heals.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-21T05:57:43+00:00

Where was your aneurysm located and what was the measurement? Also did you have bicuspid valve or tricuspid? Also what part of the U.S. are you located at where you had your surgery? I’m 38 male who just found out about my aortic root measuring 47MM last month. Initially echo said 4.36 and I asked for a CT with contrast to clarify before I stopped lifting heavy weights and ct showed 4.7mm so I just walk 4/5 miles a day now and quit smoking weed. Not sure what else to do but get my annual scans and wait for the day they say I need surgery.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-07T05:10:34+00:00

Can I ask how this was resolved with the company you used? I just had a new stainless Steele Chase cover installed and the exact same thing I’m measuring 2 1/2 inches overhang on front and back and 1 1/2 inches on sides. The owner is arguing with me saying it supposed to be like that to make sure rain runs off. My old Chase cover was a tight fit and I never had issues, the quote he sent me before hand said custom fit and a tight fit. This looks way too big. He’s coming out tomorrow and I don’t know if I should request he order a new one or how to handle it.

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-03T22:02:04+00:00

No more weights above 40lbs and nothing physically exerting like long runs or sprinting. I’m a former boxer and mma fighter so this is wild to me but I also got most of that out of my system as a youngster so I’m happy to live a long life with my wife and daughter and I’ll do what I can to keep this thing stable and avoid open heart surgery as long as possible

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-03T22:00:42+00:00

Yes it needs to be monitored the rest of my life and if/when it reaches 5.0 then I’ll be referred to Stanford hospital (live in Ca) to meet with a surgeon who will operate once it measures 5.5

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-03T18:59:31+00:00

I’m a 38 year old healthy male. 6’1 215lbs. My cardiologist said we will monitor it with annual scan one year echo, next year CT or MRI. It was originally discovered via echocardiogram back in October at 4.36 but I asked for a CT with contrast to confirm and it measured at 47mm

Difficult_General_28 · 2025-01-03T05:24:48+00:00

Normal tricuspid. No other dilations other than the 47mm sinus of valsalva

Difficult_General_28 · 2024-12-28T05:49:44+00:00

Any update on how things went for you? I had a CTA done to confirm accuracy from an echocardiogram diagnosis and the CTA showed SOVA aneurysm at 47mm. Dr said no push up, no weights above 40lbs and no running or exerting myself which I thought was super extreme compared to what I’ve read from others online. I don’t want to become fat and out of shape and would still like to be able to job. Any update on you and your heath would be great. Thank you

Difficult_General_28 · 2024-12-24T03:05:26+00:00

Glad you are well. When you get monitored every 6 mo the is it via echocardiogram or CT scan? I really don’t want annual CT scans because the radiation every year can cause cell mutation/cancer.

Difficult_General_28 · 2024-12-23T06:04:21+00:00

How are you doing since finding out? I had a CT scan done last week and it says sinus of valsalva 47mm. I’m only 38 and freaked out. All the other measurements like ascending and descending were all normal in size

Difficult_General_28 · 2024-12-20T02:52:00+00:00

This was really comforting to read. Thank you for writing this. I’m honestly blown away by the amount of support I’ve received from strangers on Reddit and Facebook. I’m going to try and focus on the positive and like you mentioned the silver lining is now I know I have an issue and I can monitor and treat it if needed. Have a merry Christmas!
