How tough are ya?

Oh, you think you’re tough? You think you’ve seen risk?

I once sent two, high value packages to PSA… from Europe, without tracking.

Yeah, that’s right. No insurance, no signature, just raw, unfiltered faith in the postal system. Days passed. Weeks even. No updates. No safety net. Just me, staring at my empty inbox.

But guess what? They made it. Both of them.

So, what’s the riskiest thing you’ve done in this hobby? How tough are ya ?

Toughest thing I’ve ever done is open up an evolving skies pack… twice. Yes I lived to tell the tale.

I get the cards I want by pulling them from boxes that I paid for with FF to complete strangers.

I’ve bought an Illustrator and other top trophy cards from people in japan with 0-1 feedback. And then shipped them to PSA with little to no coverage. :headstone:

I put like nine gold stars and a hundred-something old ex’s into decks to be shuffled without checking their condition. I’m sure some could grade well.

I once tried to change the topic of a thread about how tough someone is into something completely different, without knowing whether it would work in the end.

Still gives me goosebumps to this very day.

How tough am I? I safeguarded these cards since I was a kid, meticulously and obsessively, for almost 20 years. I pulled them both from packs myself when I was a little guy, and stored them in a 4-pocket Charmander binder (in penny sleeves). Then I sent them is as part of my first ever PSA submission and got a 9 and a 10…without any milk!
