1:07-1:14 is one of the most intelligent phrases of wisdom I’ve ever heard… lol seriously though. Maybe one day bulk prices will allow us to return to water to wine days my friend. Thank you always for the knowledge. It’s most appreciated!
I appreciate how even-keeled and mellow you are during your videos. That kind of "it is what it is" attitude is such a welcome change from the over the top antics of others. Although I would like to see you lose it and throw something just once.
after i prep and grind to do the work for these orders the grades are out of my hands. Things have changed though. Not having as much fun in the hobby as I used to
@@Eliteco3 yea it's incredibly frustrating to see the goal posts moved on these orders, especially when you had a good handle on their process. PSA's abrupt grading changes have been inconsistent and it's hurting the entire hobby.
The mix in these is great, the cheap bulk says were so great. Nice return, happy to see a nice middle of the road grader being reasonable for the most part.
Grade whatever you want. I’m a big barry Sanders and Kobe collector so I send in whatever looks good or if I just want it slabbed. Best channel on RUclips always honest and not trying to sell anything or move the market keep up the good work Nolan
Missed your videos recently. You were spoiling us there for a while with 2-3 a week, haha. Great stuff as usual, always learn something new everytime I watch.
fleer ultra is very possibly my favorite set of all time. i really like it for NBA and MLB but lean towards regular fleer for NFL stuff, i think its the inserts for fleer that just connect more with me for NFL sets is why. and is it me or did those moss scores drop considerably in value?
@@Eliteco3 psa is rounding down the grades. I just got a vintage order back and it was ridiculous. I sent them examples from older slabs and they are much worse cards than mine but mine got lower grades. The new reality. Thanks for sharing!
no theyre giving 9's on the junk wax because 99% of them are terribly centered. you could go buy 10 factory sets and open 1000 packs. 99% of them will have absolutely terrible centering. then add in chipping/flaking, and dinged corners. thats why!
I recently got a PSA 6 on a Bichette /5 and I and wondering if I should appeal or pay to cross it over where they grade the auto and not the card. It’s a thick card but no visible edge or corner wear.
How many of these get submitted if the newer prices of $20 for bulk stick? Maybe 50? I get why PSA is doing what it is, but there is something really cool about getting a Gem Mint card from a tough set, even if it's junk wax.
theyre tripping with that new price. anyone who pays over 20 bucks to get a graded card is an idiot. 6 bucks is reasonable. id pay 6 bucks to get some of my cards graded. but 20-25 hell no.
PSA doesn't mind giving 10 if a low value cards but if it's a high dollar cards it's hard to get a 10 they are keeping the pop count low on high dollar cards great channel
That Edgerrin James/150 is clean, and so is that Urlacher! I still do believe that PSA does sometimes shorts people on the grades, but I guess it is what is it.
Looks to me like PSA is trying to send a message to collectors - don't send in junk wax because we are going to hang you out to dry. Throw in (and Im guessing here) close to 100 new rookie graders that dont have a clue what they are doing just trying to shrink the huge pile. Mo Money Mo Money!
I wonder what happens when PSA reopens with reasonable prices. Looks to me like they just give most stuff a PSA 8 or 9. No one is going to be sending stuff in if they stop giving 10s out.
wrong, 99% of humans are followers/dickriders/sheep they will still continue to suck PSA off and send stuff in even if they stop giving out 10's and stay at high prices. sadly most humans are sheep. you could have a raw thats pristine flawless perfect for 20 bucks and a psa 10 that has dinged corners and terribly off centered. people will buy the psa 10 over the other.
What you said around 11:20 mark is very true. I just had 3 bulk orders come back. Two were graded fairly, the other was graded by a complete a$$hat try hard who didn’t give me any 10’s in a 170 card order. He also gave more 8’s than 9’s. Very frustrating for sure when you get a tough/inexperienced grader.
Here’s something that PSA doesn’t want to hear and neither do you. I’d be willing to bet you know more about the cards, sets and flaws within the sets than the person actually grading your cards. I’m sorry to hear you’re not enjoying the hobby in the way you used to, but regardless, thank you so much for making the hobby more enjoyable for all of us. Your videos are always A-1!
Well said, if someone is willing to pay fees for a service and a company is willing to provide a service for such-fee...then it's nobody else's business what someone sends in for the service. I just don't get where all of the negativity has come from on what's being graded. I've been using PSA since around 1998 and sent low-end and random stuff ever-since...it's my dime and my relationship with PSA.
You're obviously not a fan of his channel or you would know that PSA is working on the wall of back-orders and this was sent in a long time ago and just finally came back like the other multiple orders he has out with them.
This is off topic but do you have a store or do you just do all your selling on eBay? I know you’ve said before you go to your office, so just curious. Love the channel and all your insights!!
The days of grading most of the baseball cards in this order are overrrr. Cost more to grade the card then what they are worth. You really love baseball. Everyone one of these videos I notice that over 75-80% of the order is baseball. 👌 👍 Fun to watch though!
my favorite cards are baseball and basketball from 85-93. I'd love to get my stuff graded but not paying 25 bucks a card. thats a rip off. what I dont get is how these garbage "optic" "prism" cards of no name bums are getting more money than legends from the 80;'s. who cares about mike trout or Zion whatever his name is. how do these people get thousands for their cards while legends like bo Jackson Barry bonds mark McGwire Larry bird magic Johnson get crumbs? makes no sense to me. who or why would anyone wana even collect those garbage optic prizm no name people? I wouldn't pay 25 cents for any of that junk. gimme junk wax all day long!
1:31:54 LOLOLOLOLOL funniest part of the vid. lol dude why would u send that in lololol .. like theres literally so many other atleast big named cards you coulda sent. hahahahaha funny stuff!!!
the 8 Griffey looked better than the 10 Griffey LOL ... the 10 had bad centering top to bottom. dont see how that gets a 10 and the other looks dead perfect top to bottom left to right and gets an 8?
@Eliteco3 I was guilty of this as well not as bad as lot of people thankfully. I had to chuckle when I got one order back of Gavin Lux Luis Robert base rookies haha. Psa 10 worth about 10 bucks.now days.
If people really talk shit about the cards you send in, they really need to re-evaluate their life choices, and stop disrespecting the #goat of PSA grading… Congrats on the solid order man.
them 89 donruss mattinglys you call "dead centered" are not ... its very easy to see one side is slimmer than the other.... all you have to do is buy a small ruler with millimeters thats clear and put it on each side and you can easily see which cards are really centered and which are not. I think you might need that because alot of things I notice you seem to think are "dead centered" are not ..
I have no problem with your submissions. What does irk me is someone clogging up PSA with their order of 100 Bol Bol Prizm rookies and 500 Luka 2nd year Mosaics that they don't even look over and come back all 8s, and then call it "investing." I really hope PSA comes back with a heavy charge for ultra modern, because those are the cards that are way overprinted and have the best chance to slow the system.
I’d love to hear the canned response your rep is forced to give you. Really wish they would address everyone’s concerns. Obviously something has changed. Is it noob graders, they are just forcing out so many, new standards; they need to address it.
I think the '89 Donruss Curt Schilling gets knocked down for his mustache. As far as the '90 Donruss, I always look at where the borders intersect. If they seem to form squares in both corners (rather than rectangles), then it's usually 50/50. Does that make sense? I'm losing my faith in PSA. The 9s and 10s seem arbitrarily inconsistent. Without subgrades, we're left to guess why. I think maybe they grew too fast to maintain quality control.
flip a coin on a 9 or a 10. I bought 12 PSA 10's the other week from 4 sharp corners and half of the 10's had flaws that would put them in the 8.5 to 9 range for me. sold those and kept the ones that looked better
all those 80's 90's baseball cards that got 9's woulda got 10's if u sent them in like 5-10 yrs ago .... I see sooooooooooo many of these 80's 90's baseball cards with bad left to right or top to bottom centering that are graded 10. I think they used to give 10's more? its either that or they have select clients theyre just giving the 10's to only. but I can say for a fact ive seen soooooo many of these 80's 90's baseball cards that somehow get graded a 10 and have TERRIBLE centering issues. I see raws for 5 bucks with better centering.
yea makes no sense. some of those early cards were terribly centered and got 10s meanwhile the junk wax stuff had the EXACT SAME centering but got 8s and 9s
I hope this makes you feel a little better about PSA tightening their belt on grading. I personally notice the difference between almost all of the 10 vs 9 comparisons you and other people show, even if the differences are almost undetectable at first, and that's without holding or looking at the physical card in person which is what you really need to do to see all imperfections. In the past you've said there's 10's that shouldn't be 10's and in your opinion, it was devaluing having a PSA 10. (For example) the idea of holding a PSA 10 vs a clean 9 for your PC. I haven't heard you say this (that a card doesn't look like a 10) nearly as much lately and the reason we should have professional grading should be to differentiate those small details and determine (based on the agreed grading scale), which cards fall in their appropriate categorie(s). So if what I'm saying is correct, we should end up with a "cleaner" product for all level of grades, not just 10's (if this makes sense). There will always be one or two examples where a grader may make a mistake, but in general, this should be a good thing for true collectors who want accurate grading. Let me know what you think about this.
i can find 10's with blatant flaws all day every day on ebay or anywhere. Consistency is gone. I sell all the 10's with flaws and hold the clean 9's. Go through your PC and scrutinize the 10's. Easy to find flaws
@@Eliteco3 100% I own several 10's that I wouldn't have graded a 10, but that's my point I'm trying to make. We can't have it both ways. Now, they should actually be 10's with higher grading standards compared to the ones in the past. I said we can't have it both ways because we can't be mad they're getting tougher but also mad our gem rate is down, do you see what I'm saying?
@@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559 So your saying that your a better judge of condition on these cards then he is? His personal cards that he sent in and is obviously very familiar with as he remembers every little imperfection on every card submitted? Even though he's been submitting the same players and sets for years and actually has the cards right in front of him? But you can spot the minor flaws that he cant through a camera and slab of plastic? I wish I could do that, that's so cool!
Best card channel on RUclips
Yep
It’s not even close agreed
By far. Not even close.
Handsdown
Absolutely
"IM PAYING THE FEE, I CAN SEND WHAT I WANT" .......Love it. 🤜
ha its true
Amen
yeah say what you want but it affects mine and your order return times...this is why they got backed up lol...500 card order of this...sigh
1:07-1:14 is one of the most intelligent phrases of wisdom I’ve ever heard… lol seriously though. Maybe one day bulk prices will allow us to return to water to wine days my friend.
Thank you always for the knowledge. It’s most appreciated!

100 percent agree. Great analysis cut and dry.. no knock on anyone else, but do agree
🤣👍
So much respect for the Manny collection. Best right handed hitter of his generation
I thought Edgar Martinez was but just my opinion 😁
Love these bulk orders. Don’t underestimate the rising popularity of player runs Nolan. Theres a lot of potential in this submission!
Huge props to you for grading pacific cards. They were doing some innovative stuff back in the late 90s. Super underrated
People collect graded labels more than they collect cards anymore. Love the cards you grade. That bonds Preview atomic is an awesome card.
Ya it’s a sheep’s hobby
Great cards as usual. Collect what you want and send in whatever you want. Your collection and finances. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting
thank you Mark
Always love when the model Chipper make an appearance Nolan! 😂
Good work Jedi .. thx for sharing as always. Sweet style

So smart sending in these cards! You will make profit on every card regardless of grade because PSA will soon raise their prices so much! Well done.
ya some have little to no value. The grades at PSA are getting tougher

Definitely appreciate the pricing on the cards. Thanks for all your videos.
Welcome back 😄 more cards for me to drool 🤤 on. 89 Donruss Bo is sick!!!
I wonder if they're giving 9s on the junk wax to discourage people from submitting them. Great video as always
could be. At the new prices + the rarity of getting a 10 it makes 0 sense to submit junk wax
no theyre giving 9's on the junk wax because 99% of them are terribly centered. you could go buy 10 factory sets and open 1000 packs. 99% of them will have absolutely terrible centering. then add in chipping/flaking, and dinged corners. thats why!
I really want that Pedro Score 1995 PSA 9! I would literally do anything for that card! ANYTHING!!!!!!
Love that Peyton star burst. So sick
Wow, I better clear my calendar for this video. :)
Love the variety and the commentary.
ha thanks
I love these videos , thanks for uploading amigo !
Interested in that sano u got it in ur store Nolan. He's been a dissspointment for my twins but I still have hope for him
Love this channel man. I'm obsessed with 90s parallels and inserts lately. That Griffeys 95 Prisms absolutely gorgeous!
ha yeah i kept that Ken
Nice cards - totally agree, send in what you want, it’s your collection. I like having my PC in a PSA slab as well. I’m a huge fan of PSA 9’s as well.
i like PSA 9's. 10's are good too but the card has to match the label. So many fake 10's out there
I recently got a PSA 6 on a Bichette /5 and I and wondering if I should appeal or pay to cross it over where they grade the auto and not the card. It’s a thick card but no visible edge or corner wear.
they usually grade thick cards 1-2 grades lower than they should be. Not sure why makes 0 sense
How many of these get submitted if the newer prices of $20 for bulk stick? Maybe 50? I get why PSA is doing what it is, but there is something really cool about getting a Gem Mint card from a tough set, even if it's junk wax.
a very small amount i paid $6.50 to $7 on these so i was pretty loose with what I sent
theyre tripping with that new price. anyone who pays over 20 bucks to get a graded card is an idiot. 6 bucks is reasonable. id pay 6 bucks to get some of my cards graded. but 20-25 hell no.
Great video! I’m still waiting on the 100 Gregg Jeffries I submitted. 😔
Thanks for sharing. As always...
I love the junk wax grading.85 Topps baseball is a great set.
I’m dying at the Jack Morris
3rd time watching start to checkerboard tape while sorting the coe3 soundtrack is classic like the old space jam I believe I can crrrrry😂😭
When turner bought psa, they shut down 10s and shut down the company!🤣 hope they both come back soon. Great video as always Nolan. Thanks for sharing
That Urlacher refractor 🔥 🐻🔽
PSA doesn't mind giving 10 if a low value cards but if it's a high dollar cards it's hard to get a 10 they are keeping the pop count low on high dollar cards great channel
You hit the nail on the head. PSA just wants your money and does not care about consistency.
I just bought the Youth Movement Rivers 10 from you. Arrived today.
Cool card
Great cards! The 89 topps sheffield those are diamonds not braces.
manny was one of the most feared hitters in the league...right behind bonds
1999 bowman James is sick
Great stuff!

^^^Agree with the Juan Soto King ^^^
TY for sounding off on what is submitted. I have been saying the same thing and loved the reveal !
I used to love Pop 1 to 15 rookie cards but because there are so few the mass market does not know what they are worth, even of big name HOFers.
I wonder what happens when PSA reopens with reasonable prices. Looks to me like they just give most stuff a PSA 8 or 9. No one is going to be sending stuff in if they stop giving 10s out.
they will sprinkle in a 10 here or there on Omar Vizquel rookies lol
@@Eliteco3 Lucky you. That Vizuel really tied the submission together.
wrong, 99% of humans are followers/dickriders/sheep they will still continue to suck PSA off and send stuff in even if they stop giving out 10's and stay at high prices. sadly most humans are sheep. you could have a raw thats pristine flawless perfect for 20 bucks and a psa 10 that has dinged corners and terribly off centered. people will buy the psa 10 over the other.
Great mix of cards in the order as usual....a Knot Hole Gang ffs 😆
Once again cool vid. You sure like your Manny Ramirezes…lol

Ya it’s all in the grader
serial numbers seems like off if graded recent it should start with 5 or even 6 by now?
Hope everything is well. Great video. Anquan is no HOF. Too many great WRs not in there
Hell yeah grade them 1990 upper deck baseball cards love it!
Nice to see another great vid Nolan..hope all is well buddy

i like them most consistent 3rd party grader in my opinion
GOAT DOES IT AGAIN! thanks for the post
Ha thanks
YO NOLAN DO YOU KNOW WHY SOMETIMES PSA USES A SLEEVE AND SOMETIMES THEY DONT
I hate that PSA raised their fees so much. They did it to discourage sending in 10 cent cards.
Danm right your paying the fees. Send what you want.
How can PSA give the Bichette Bowman RC a 10???? 2:30 Card is way off center
I dunno they usually grade ultra modern easier
interesting how the Ortiz Wave of the Future and the Griffey Hot Gloves got Mylar'd and then the last Griffey Hot Gloves wasn't in a mylar...
Ya totally random
them 88 donruss sandbergs shoulda been 10's same with Larkin
I don’t think those are braces on Gary Sheffield. I believe he had his initials put on his two front teeth in gold.
There are no rules in card collecting. You can send whatever cards you want. As long as you get enjoyment out of the cards it’s all good.
The days of grading most of the baseball cards in this order are overrrr. Cost more to grade the card then what they are worth. You really love baseball. Everyone one of these videos I notice that over 75-80% of the order is baseball. 👌 👍 Fun to watch though!

i can find 10's with blatant flaws all day every day on ebay or anywhere. Consistency is gone. I sell all the 10's with flaws and hold the clean 9's. Go through your PC and scrutinize the 10's. Easy to find flaws
@@Eliteco3 100% I own several 10's that I wouldn't have graded a 10, but that's my point I'm trying to make. We can't have it both ways. Now, they should actually be 10's with higher grading standards compared to the ones in the past. I said we can't have it both ways because we can't be mad they're getting tougher but also mad our gem rate is down, do you see what I'm saying?
@@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559 So your saying that your a better judge of condition on these cards then he is? His personal cards that he sent in and is obviously very familiar with as he remembers every little imperfection on every card submitted? Even though he's been submitting the same players and sets for years and actually has the cards right in front of him? But you can spot the minor flaws that he cant through a camera and slab of plastic? I wish I could do that, that's so cool!
@@matthewemshoff4648 No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Read what I said again.
I would be fine if they wanted to be strict on 10s but they have to be consistent. With so many new graders etc I do not think it’s possible
