Well deserved grades 🙌 They are a product of your excellent pre-sub skills…your meticulous nature is inspiring. Keep it up. I love to watch people work hard and succeed. Also, that ‘98 Kobe skybox premium is so damn tough 🔥
Thanks LV! I love that year of Skybox, something about the font & graphic design really does it for me. Super tough w/ the black bordered backs. Always appreciate your support & words of encouragement! 🙏
Awesome submission. Definitely a great gem rate considering the type of cards. Love that MJ Team MVP card, one of my faves from back in the day. Lots of nice 90’s hits in this order 👏🏽
@@3pt-cards Much appreciated! Yeah I’m on the fence about whether to keep that Team MVPs MJ, definitely a nostalgic card for me. Keeping the Sharpshooters for sure tho!
I have never bought any raw cards on COMC, but you seem to have success buying raw on their site and getting good grades. How do you go about determining which cards on their site are actually gradable? Like that 1993 Fleer Sharpshooter Jordan and 1995 Flair Center Spotlight Shaq you got PSA 10's on. How do you weed out the bad ones from the good ones? Do you buy only from certain sellers on there? Would love to see a video about how you buy raw cards on COMC, kind of like how you made a video 11 months ago about how you source raw cards on Ebay. Thanks!
@@MyrickWillard7 It’s honestly a crapshoot, the scans on COMC are not the best quality. I do my best not to buy anything w/ glaring flaws. I have a well trained eye for centering, which is something I can usually glean even from lower quality scans. It’s really not possible to fully assess a card until you have it in hand. Often a card looks clean in scans but has major surface issues in hand. It’s really just a numbers game. In my last COMC video I bought 386 cards & only sent 22% to PSA w/ another 7% going to SGC. To be fair, there were plenty of cards I rejected that were likely PSA 9’s but it doesn’t make financial sense to shoot for 9’s on most modern cards. I have a critical eye & if I don’t think a card is gem worthy I don’t grade it. That’s why my gem rates are relatively high (contrary to the belief I must know somebody at PSA 😂).
always appreciate your reveals and your eye for detail...curious if you have any superstitions when submitting to PSA? Order cards in any special way, try to keep orders to a certain number of cards or lower, etc? Also, do you use penny sleeves and Card Saver I's when submitting? Thx for your time
Thanks for watching! Great questions. I am a very detail oriented & habit-driven person. When I submit an order, I sort the cards alphabetically by year & set. I don't like sending in too many copies of a card & usually try to split them up into different orders (just an OCD thing). While I've sent in a few 100+ card orders, I tend to prefer the 50-75 card sweet spot. The super large orders make me nervous because you run the risk of getting a hardass for a grader. I use a fresh penny sleeve & Card Saver II (Cardboard Gold brand).

Killer sub! From watching your vids you’ve either got an amazing eye or just a TON of patience to only submit pristine cards, nice work!
Appreciate it! You nailed it. I'm very meticulous about what I grade & have enough experience that I trust my eye.
Good lord, if I had that grader for all the orders I send in....I would be RICH
or...if you had the grader's eye that this guy does it couldn't hurt
@@gradedcards5516100% agree, it’s all in the submitter, this guy has got an amazing eye for pristine cards

Good reveal as always.
@@bennybreaks702 That’s awesome! Fun card, not too many in the pop report. Good luck!
