Fake Gretzkys got higher grades

The crooked cards in slabs aren't acceptable and should be redone for free.

I will give you $125 for them

Note to self, send cards to upper deck. PSA sucks in my personal opinion.

Cool 😮Great video 👍😎

Omg they fucked that griffey

I have a Bob Welch '79 card, i dont know if i should plan on grading it or keeping it RAW

Nice but most of your cards won’t bring you a profit from the 80 and 90s to many out there . But still fun to collect.

Best way to learn is to just do it.

they are a scam they population control like crazy. so many cards that should get 9s and 10s they give 7s and 8s

1st Griffey slab looks terrible... come on PSA!

Allen Ginter relic jockstrap card would be badass

Japanese style packs

Cool stuff bud. Thanks for sharing. 👊

pissing money down a hole grading 80's cards

Does the PSA grading company tell you why the grade was given in the first place? Like centering, color, boarders, etc.?

Cool, Great video 👍😎 try try for a Grail 🤞🍀

I've been around for a long time, and I seek out SGC for vintage cards (definitely the most consistent grades for vintage) and Beckett for modern cards (with subgrades)...I have no problem buying a PSA graded slab as well...

You did well for a first submission. Those 9's and Bonds are great grades. Hang on to those...

Great vid! PSA is lacking bigtime, your first card shown (Griffey Jr.) is off center in its slab, really off center. I've been having a hard time with PSA's quality as of late. Specialty cards like Mother's Cookies, Hostess bakery and Total Cereal cards produce in limited volumes but have crappy card stock.

Cool one, Great video 👍😎

You did very well for your first sub! The UD Griffey in a 9 is solid! I just subscribed, I post a lot of reveals myself.

How many cards do the grader damage? What is the recourse? Like what if you submit a perfect Rookie Rickey that should be a 9or 10 and comes back 7 w/a finger corner YOU KNOW wasn’t there, wtf do u do about it? I hear that going with a bulk submitter company gets better grading, that true in general? Seems like they literally closed the door on pre-80’s 10s no matter how great they may be. It feels a lot like “holding” in the NFL, where you can ALWAYS find something to justify calling holding on someone. The same as you could literally take ANY 10 as no find some tiny reason to make it a 9. EVERY ONE OF THEM. Anytime you mix money and judging, there will be done element of dishonesty being attempted. Like, whoever just invested in a rookie Rickey 10, they don’t want PSA to grade any more 10s. THE graders being mindful of the impact their 10 grades might have on the value of low-pop-10 cards automatically creates a conflict of interest in the mind of the grader. Like if they know there is no 10 grade for a 1962 card, and they get one, they will be looking for reasons it can’t be a 10. This is why AI, in this respect, would be superior to human beings. As far as the technical aspects like percentage of original surface ink remaining on a card. And relativity when comparing cards, using a curve grading for each individual card. I have a 7” screen microscope, which is pretty awesome for checking corners and edges, even sideways in the edges, which my microscope allows for room to turn cards on edge. Even perfect looking corners often have micro creasing, which I believe is from putting the cards in sleeves and pockets and removing them from sleeves and pockets. Basically any time you touch a card, assume you have micro-damaged it in some fashion. If a card is moving in the open air it is dying and vulnerable. Looking at cards through a low magnification let’s you really see what a legit sharp corner looks like and a faux one. Some are truly pristine white filling all the way to the edges with no edge cracking, which is hard to find 4 of those corners in like a 78 topps Baseball card. Under magnification they all look bad, so you look at it through a curve. Like anything, you adjust interpretation of what is good and not good. Old cards are usually littered with tiny ink splatter marks all over, which the naked eye doesn’t pick up. Until you see it magnified, and then you can kind see it w the naked eye. It tells you where to look closer. The problem with it is you start thinking nothing can be a ten. I would LOVE to be able to get 8, 9 &10 grades from the same card 15 years apart and examine them all to see how they stack up to each other. Meaning is a 10 from ‘03 like a 10 from ‘23? Or is it like a 9 from ‘23? Or vice versa? Someone needs to audit the graders so we know if we’re talking apples to apples. Do they put a “date graded” anywhere on the slabs?

geez, I've been contemplating getting very similar rookies from the mid 80s to early 90s for a few years now and I'm not sure the investment into the slabs would be worth it. Half of those cards you got graded are the same ones I have put aside in card savers waiting to get graded but I'm still on the fence.

Wish I knew how to do this I have some old 50 cards to get graded

Doesn't seem to me to be worth grading. The people making the money is PSA

Dude psa is garbage

The first card was moving around in the holder that's crazy..

how is that griffey a 9??? damn man i thought they got more strict. . .

PSA sucks so bad, lol. If you can’t visually see the error, it should be a 10. They ruined sports card collecting.

I have some very very nice pack pulled 80s cards that came back as 7s or 8s with one 9. They are near mint at least, but i feel worth less ungraded. They have 9 maybe 10 eye appeal. It was the last time i used psa. Ive been submitting since the 90s. I agree, it feels they are stingy with their 10s if it isnt a newer card.

Sorry they had to use the holder for the bigger cards and put that Griffey in a condom!!

I'd be willing to make up random numbers for grades at a 20% discount to what was paid :)

You sure must like Steroids since you sent in so many roider players.

For a moment the title read like you sent in to PSA back in the 80s and just now received your order back.

Feels like you have an enemy at PSA.. those cards looked great!

Luckily you received some 9’s and a 10. PSA grading 1990 cards isn’t that much better either.

I am a Bo Jackson collector, I normally get a grade lower than expected on 80s cards. I have gotten a few random low grades feels like POP control. On 90-91 Tiffany cards I have gotten a lot more 10s.

Seeing the populations it doesn't look like you did too bad. The 9s didn't have much graded higher

Cool pack opening video 👍😎

Cool 😮 Great video 👍😎

Congrats on Griffey 9 but I'd be so disappointed with the way PSA holdered it. It's VERY crooked and doesn't present well......

Look at that 'stache on Maddux! Love that you submitted all these. I just broke some old sets that I've had since a kid also and even though they are junk wax it's cool to see them so crisp. I've got my first PSA sub coming soon too - very curious to see how it goes. I've got about a 70% gem 10 rate with SGC so far and interested to see if I do better or worse with PSA.
