I 100% agree its easy to get lackadaisical when looking thru that many cards. I've found my submissions are worse when I spend too much time looking at cards. It helps me to set aside what I want to send. Then right before I send them, I take another look.
A good way to make these videos better is to show the current price of it raw vs psa 10 vs whatever grade it got. Probably too much work to be worth it though lol
Congrats on the stacks of 10s including a few of those that just make your order as a 10! It's live and learn. I still have cards I grade and miss stuff or still have no clue why something got a bad grade. It's fun though! Great reveal! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Back in the late 90s I sent PSA thousands of 50s and 60s baseball cards and out of every full 20 count box they ALWAYS would put in one 8 , and a couple 7s and 1 that showed evidence of trimming now all the cards were looked at by three people and if they all agreed should be a 9 then they would be sent in , took all the 8s and 7s over time busted them out of the holders sent them back in for grading and out of EVERY 20 count box would get at least 5 nines , and the rest 8s. Resubmit them enough and u would eventually get the grade they deserved , all about playing their games !!!!!!! Just a note all the cards were from " PRESENTATION " sets and all the cards met the size requirements!!! Got these sets from a retired candy distributor
Congrats on the 10's, always a gamble some products are tough grades, but part of the hobby is ripping fin packs, take care, have a great weekend with your family
Lol, spent 2 hrs going thru 100 cards and surprised to have missed blemishes etc. Bro, i spend about 2 weeks going thru 50 cards to narrow down to 25ish cards. I STILL miss things
I sent in a Brady rookie to PSA, that I know was at least a 9. I made sure the corners were sharp, and it came back with a corner all dinged up and gave me an 8. I am sure someone had to have dropped it at PSA. No one would ever admit it.
Wow, you got lucky with the grader!! That zebra Brady was way off center, and they still gave it a 10?!? We can clearly see some other ones are also off-center that got a 10 as well. Any card with a paper back without a super sharp corner on the back will most likely get a 9 or less. There's a trick to tell if a card is centered by the design on the card. The Justin Jefferson Elite Rookie card was way high on centering if you look at the purple on the corners, the top is much thinner than the bottom part of the design. But keep the footage coming, brotha! 😀
Centering is to the right on the rear of the green AR. Not sure if that + the corner is a reason for an 8 or not but the centering is definitely noticeable.
Those Green Mosaic Stroud NFL Debuts are nice, even if they’re 9s. I have a Pink Base and a Pink NFL Debut, both 10s and I like the Greens much better.
Just a suggestion but when looking for print lines, look at the card under natural light AND a artificial lamp light. I've noticed things in natural light that seem to disappear when I look at it under a lamp.
Great result video. Since I'm new to this whole PSA grade. How do you determine the price for like the pSA8 slabs. Is there a certain percent rule when paying for lower grades? Say you see a psa 10 for $150 . There is a psa 9 much lower or % would you pay for that card plus what about 8 and so on. Still learning how to buy cards that are not over price when they are lower grades. Keep up the great videos.
If anyone ever sell card at a card show do upcharge the buyer because you had to pay gradings because that happened to me with a purdy rookie and I ended up not buying it
I read on PSA they allow for some minor printing imperfections. My understanding is a single dimple or a very small print line can be forgiven. The problem is one grader may hammer you for it and one may not. So many times I see something on a card I missed on the 2nd or 3rd look at it. Unless it is for the PC and I don't care about the value, I stopped sending anything that won't at least break even with a 9 after grading fees.
I used to send like 40 at a 50 at once but it’s much easier for me now to do 10 at a time take a break and do 10 more. Then submit 4 or 5 different 10 card orders.
I think I'm going to try sending my bgs 9.5's to psa for crossover. Originally, they were all psa 10's. If I go through with it, I would put psa 10 as the minimum grade. I do prefer beckett's grading scale and label design. Although beckett's inner sleeve causes issues with the clarity and presentation. Is there a risk of damaging the card when psa crosses over a bgs, due to the inner sleeve?
Honest question, why did it seem like you noticed so many imperfections in just a few seconds of seeing your cards again? Do you think their process brings out flaws once/if they clean them up nice?
I have a complaint in with PSA right now on 2 cards I got back, first one has a massive indention right up the middle, like your Nico card. No way I would ever send that in, another card has a huge crease on the back of it, again no way IU send that. They were back to back in the order. Seeing a lot of this stuff, even though PSA told me the cards are constantly monitored with video, from opening to slab. Even if they see something, you think they would actually tell you?
Those lines in the card are not considered print lines I don’t know why people call them that. I’ve gotten and seen 100s of 10s with those bold lines in the card from factory
Im getting ready to send my first submission in, cj green pulsar/orange laser/base prizm- some wembys green laser/prizm base- elly HFA/foilboard/royal blue- few autos and a sp copper glitter optic paulo # not really sure what to look for other than corners, centering, print lines, do you recommend taking to a card shop to have prepped or just do my best myself and send them in? Thanks for any advice!
Some great cards!!! Congrats!Look at all your cards, centering, surface, all of the above to make sure that they get the grades they deserve and you shouldn’t have to worry about them coming back with unreasonable grades.✌🏻
I don't think taking to a card shop and having them take a look would hurt anything. A 2nd or 3rd set of eyes is always helpful and they usually know what to look for. But this is just my opinion
Great video. I have the same issues with large submissions-sometimes I miss obvious stuff because my eyes start to cross looking through the loupe for too long.
This was either a stingy grader or just some stuff on the back. I did notice a little whitening (assuming it’s not light) on some corners. Hypothetically, those print lines shouldn’t really affect your grade too much because some of them are actually within PSA standards.
I still feel PSA too freely gives 10’s for grades. BGS can be a pain (my last sub I got no 10’s and 6 9.5’s on 10 cards graded),but at least they’re accurate and fair. Dimples on cards and they’re still getting a 10?!
You need to try TAG grading!! Way better thn psa. They tell and show you what's wrong with the card online!! Done with lasers! No humans..Slabs look better as well!! 👍🏼 👌🏼 🔥
Your not gonna see the imperfections with your naked eye those guys that grade them get paid a lot of money a 10 mint condition means just that it’s a perfect card they magnify it by like 50 times lol
Imagine being in 2024 and thinking PSA has any rhyme or reason for giving you a 9 or 10 lol. It's some underpaid worker who's going through cards at a wreckless pace. People seriously thinking they studying your $40 card and making some tough decisions lmao. I know you have some relationship with PSA but you should be real with the people.
Imagine reading a comment and feeling the burning desire to have to respond. We could do this all day. You took time out of your day the same way I did.
@user-mr6pp9qg6bcool story but I know for a fact that psa controls the population on certain cards. Not so much on ultra modern but definitely on older 90’s Jordan’s

TAG ends the games in grading for the most part imo
This is why I prefer the BGS grading method because they basically tell you where you went wrong
Nice Submission I'm a Dolphins fan so glad to see the good grades on Tua and Hill. 65% is great. See you on the next one.
Great stuff as always, PSA reveals are always a nervous and fun ride. I just did an 82 card one, I may be insane.
Congrats on the 10's, always a gamble some products are tough grades, but part of the hobby is ripping fin packs, take care, have a great weekend with your family
The green Anthony Richardson was cut crooked. Didnt realize this was a thing until a got one back
Lol, spent 2 hrs going thru 100 cards and surprised to have missed blemishes etc. Bro, i spend about 2 weeks going thru 50 cards to narrow down to 25ish cards. I STILL miss things

I like the way you analyze the cards afterwards
A lot of the big cards were 10’s. So that was a pretty good return. The Randy Arozarena was awesome! Bummer on the Posey rookies.
Holy stack slab!! Lol, nice return guys! Lots of 10's!!

lots of my mosaic cards were dented on the backs and i did not notice it at all.
Cool video 🤟 I sent in my first submission, hoping not to get a single 8!😅
Those Green Mosaic Stroud NFL Debuts are nice, even if they’re 9s. I have a Pink Base and a Pink NFL Debut, both 10s and I like the Greens much better.
Thank You for sharing that was a good outcome a lot of 10s .I will be doing my first video & reveal in 60 days right here on youtube .
Was hoping to see the reveal on your channel
@@dyamimc my order is just got mailed back to me from psa today so in a week or so
Lmao! We never anticipate an 8 pile :) It sucks when it happens, and it happens to all of us at one point
Great video. Still trying to convince myself to do my first submission.
I started grading cards in 1998 and its crazy to me that collectors these days are disappointed with Mint 9's
A 2,000 dollarPSA 10 would be worth 150 in a 9…. A lot has changed… the hobby almost considers anything less than 10 worthless
@@changedman7627 sad
What’s the cost to grade all those ?
Ain't cheap. That's why getting a 9 or less can hurt LOL.
Just a suggestion but when looking for print lines, look at the card under natural light AND a artificial lamp light. I've noticed things in natural light that seem to disappear when I look at it under a lamp.

Unless it is for the PC and I don't care about the value, I stopped sending anything that won't at least break even with a 9 after grading fees.
I sent 3 submissions in post sale, totaling 76 cards. I managed a 59% gem rate, with 2 flukey 6s, 5 8s and the rest being 9s or 10s
I used to send like 40 at a 50 at once but it’s much easier for me now to do 10 at a time take a break and do 10 more. Then submit 4 or 5 different 10 card orders.
If you want to sell the 8 & 9's I would be interested in all of them

Well Ian your grades prove there was no favoritism and you just convinced me to stick to my guns and never send cards in for grading.
LoL an 8 WHAT!!!!! YOUR EXPRESSION
Do you think it benefits you to send in two of the same card in the same box? Hurts? No affect?
Question: How much did it cost to submit in 62 cards? Thank you. Great video and thank you for sharing.
JJ on the Bengals. They'd be spending $120 mil per year for 3 players. The rest of there team would have to be on Rookie Deals and Vet Minimums. LOL
Weird that the J Mo XRC didn’t state it was a XRC
Next time take a week to look and get ready for round 2
Wat if the print line is on the very end
Congrats on getting Nikki's card a 10! I just hope she don't ever have an argument with the guy 😂
Man I gotta send some cards in! Great video man I was waiting for this one!
I will buy the Derick stingley auto if you want to sell it he is my pc
Honest question, why did it seem like you noticed so many imperfections in just a few seconds of seeing your cards again? Do you think their process brings out flaws once/if they clean them up nice?
I’d love to get cards graded but I never get anything worth grading
Even if you did 70 percent straight out the box won’t even make it to grade… I bought hobby boxes and corners banged up on every single hit.
Impressive gem rate... Anything over 50 percent nowadays is a win.
Congrats on the 10's
Well, what can you do?
Thought you had an "in" with PSA? 😅
Thanks for sharing!

Donruss cards seem softer to me. Maybe check corners?

How much would it cost to submit about 50 different cards at once to PSA all the way from New Zealand?????
I could see some white corners on many of your 9's. Keep an eye on that.
If you sell that giddy card I would be intrested
Those lines in the card are not considered print lines I don’t know why people call them that. I’ve gotten and seen 100s of 10s with those bold lines in the card from factory
I’ve also had cards that were to too big to fit in mags strange ultra pro 35pt mags but other cards have fit in same one 😮
The green AR is a touch off center too. Sad you got an 8, but for the sake of PSA’s grading quality standards it’s ok.
Amazing. I have a sub that was the January special. Arrived to them feb 5, order prep Feb 12th and it’s still in grading 🥲

I am from the future. I just bought half these cards at a flea market for a buck each.
Do they not have half grades anymore? (8.5, 9.5, etc.)
Great video. I have the same issues with large submissions-sometimes I miss obvious stuff because my eyes start to cross looking through the loupe for too long.
Nice hits there bro
Why would you send in cards that are worth only 30 or $40 in PSA 10 when the grading fees are 15+?
You're order was 900 some dollars. How much was the insurance on this order
Why did you grade Ridder?!
Man if only psa gave subgrades and explained why the perfect cards got 9’s 😂
Did some of your cards get damaged after you sent them off?
Where do you get it?
This was either a stingy grader or just some stuff on the back. I did notice a little whitening (assuming it’s not light) on some corners. Hypothetically, those print lines shouldn’t really affect your grade too much because some of them are actually within PSA standards.
do you keep them all or sell
some
To be a PSA worker you probably gotta go through a 2 week class an you’re a pro
I doubt it's even one full day.
You selling the tua???
Don't screen grab the images from psa, there is a download button. A screen grab would downgrade the quality dramatically.
Way solid cards!
Why would you get cards graded when a ten is only 30 dollars
That's an amazing ratio!!!
Disapointed his base got a 9 unreal grade cards worth grading

Dude got a 9 w a print line? Hmmmm shht maybe I might send my cards in 😂 "no way they get less than a 9" I said to myself

Centering on the green strouds are bad!
Grading base lol. We are all suckers for watching this. All of us. Especially me
