As someone who has been collecting since the late 70's early 80's, who at one time, believed grading cards was a complete waste of time and money, but came to realize that if you are serious abut this hobby, regardless if you are trying to protect your personal collection and/or in the business...noticed I stated "business," and not hobby, then it's imperative that you get yor cards graded.
Last night I decided im doing my first submission with you guys and I wake up to a notification for this video. If thats not a sign, I dont know what is! Im sending in 12 coins from Armour, Salada and Junket. Im excited to see how I do as theres some really nice condition coins in there.
Hey guys, looking forward to using your submission service. This is probaly a dumb question but I wanted to be 100% sure on it. For 'Crips Focus' are we talking about printing issues like you see in some of the old Topps cards where it prints the image a tad bit off on a different layer of printing causing a blurry image or are we talking about the photo itself kind of like what we see in newer cards where they use old photos from like the 70s or something where the image is just blurry itself. I kind of felt like the latter was not a thing since that mean you could never get a 10 on that specific card. Sry, I just started grading a few years ago.
I dont no if you answer questions but here goes. I typed in google Does PSA screen cards and your video pops up. So are you assoctiated with PSA like the title above video suggests. Me and a few friends submit about a 1,000 cards a yr to PSA when we get them back quite a few come 8-9 grade however we have poped open quite a few and resumitted them and alot that where previous 9 come back 10's and sometimes 8's So this leads to my 2nd and final question. If PSA is the most trusted company in grading why would this EVER happen. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks
Joe & Doug: Love the channel and your content!!! You guys do a great job!!! I have a number of really nice vintage 60's and 70's baseball star rookie cards that I'd like to send in to you guys for the $4/card prescreening service. My question is this...Will I get the results of the $4/card prescreening while the cards are still in your possession so that once I green light them to be sent off for screening by either PSA or SGC (will you include a recommendation of which one to use?) they don't have to leave your shop and you can send them off to the screening company on my behalf? Thanks again...
Yes, we email you while we have them in our possession to let you know what the issues are and which ones we recommend for grading. You can also email us at gotbaseballcards@gmail.com for more info.
Many influencers have highlighted that PSA has gotten harder/more inconsistent with vintage cards than in the past. Is that your experience? What’s your accuracy with pre-1990 cards? Pre-1975 cards?
Doug is top of the line. Great service from him when I was in the shop.
Thank you. This is great info.
Really appreciate you sharing the information to ones like myself that collect raw more than grade and flip!

2 grades harder than 20 years ago for sure. I have broken out a slab from 2000 and resubmitted. Went from an 8 to a 6.
