ONE MORE THING:
God sent His only Son to stand in our place and take on the full punishment of our sins unto Himself. Why? Because He loves you that much. His name is Yeshua, and He said He is the way, the truth, and the life and that no one can go before the Father EXCEPT through Him (John 14:6). He also said that whoever believes in Him will not perish and shall live forever (John 3:16).
This is what I would call VERY GOOD news. In an day and age where people have become hyper-obsessed with concerns over health, wars, geopolitical tensions, and rumors of wars...this message should bring about a sense of PEACE and CALM amidst the noise and chaos. There is always hope for good while Hope remains in this world.
And now that you've heard the truth...what will you do about it? 😉

I've had these since they came out. Some are in way better condition than I ever expected - will be sending some in soon. Got a nice Fleer Jordan Error card. I dont' really care about the grades, these are cards I've had in my position for almost 40 years. That's what matters to me. The hell with everyone else!
I have several shoeboxes of non-graded cards, and they will never be graded because they're either sentimental or they hold more value being ungraded (yes, that is a thing). So you do you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Whatever keeps the hobby fun for you! 😀
I'm fairly new to grading my cards initially. How did you examine your cards and come to the conclusion that they might be a good candidates for a 10 rating? After I purchased the centering tool and a lighted magnifying glass, I inspected my cards that I thought could be 10's from the naked eye. After further inspection, I found cracks, dents, whiting on the corners and edges, etc. It sucks but that's the things they are looking for to come to a final grade.
Really it comes down to years of practice and learning. Graders didn't always grade so hard, but modern card designs raised the bar and older cards just don't meet the same standards. Unfortunately, they often get graded by the graders at similar measures. So what most of us "normal" people would call a 9-10, a grader like PSA might call a 6-8. The card may very well be a MINT or NR-MINT, but you won't the graders are looking for flaws and working backwards from there. That's actually how I go about grading my cards: focus on the flaws and determine how much you'd take off a 10-point grade based on the flaw. This way, you train yourself to spot the flaws before they do. This reduces the risk of submitting cards with defects that will keep them out of 9 and 10 ranges. Because in most cases anything below a 9 carries zero resell value, so minimizing grades under 9 should be your goal.
@@RedmondGamer I appreciate the reply! I just submitted a few cards yesterday for the first time. I guess we'll see how it goes as I continue to submit cards. Thanks!
Anybody can be a card grader it's not rocket science. If a grader is having a bad day or just don't want to give a 10 they won't. The difference between a 9 and 10 is huge value wise.
Until people take action (stop using their service!), PSA wont provide anything more than absolutely necessary
That or a competitor steps up and shows them why documentation RULZ. 😄
The problem is that people have there entire collections done from psa and will never say a bad word about them because they are scared to death the values will go down..they will give you notes when they take more money from you
@@charlesmurphy1840 For what it's worth...I love the PSA brand and their service offering as a whole. Other graders are great too, and I use others for different things.
...but the main issue is industry-wide, and I won't stop saying it: GRADERS NEED TO START PUBLISHING THEIR DOCUMENTATION PUBLICLY.
There's absolutely zero reason for them to continue withholding this information at this point, and posting it publicly will only make consumers trust their brand more.
Failing to do so will continue to sow the seeds of doubt and uncertainty among consumers, and I sincerely hope they realize this will only IMPROVE their brand.
