Now this order is more like your standard return unlike the last one. Lots of great cards! The 3rd box though for a minute was like oh oh but then you finished strong. I love seeing all the older football cards. Takes me back to my childhood. Thanks for sharing!
I know exactly what part you were talking about 😂 They were a lil tighter on older cards. Glad you liked the 80’s and 90’s football…I have a soft spot for them too collecting them back in the day. Thanks for commenting always!
Good order. I just got absolutely scorched on 2 big ones. I got 80% gem rate on an order of 110 that returned in May (Mostly 1998-2015). I pre graded them all just using my eyes and the ceiling light in my kitchen. Thought I would put another couple of big orders together and spend even more time checking them to see how close i could get to 100% gem rate. I went through about 2k cards and found the top 200. This time under a halogen lamp and using a 20x magnifying lens. Orders came back at 29/101 and 36/102 receiving PSA 10's.. I got 20% gem rates on ultra modern cards of 2023 basketball rookies.. SOO frustrating when they do you like that! All the good graders must have been at the National.
So frustrating:( Sorry to hear that. It’s been tough lately. Tight graders. I got lucky on this order I think. I’m going to stick to smaller subs for awhile 👍 Best of luck on your next orders 🤞
Love the Skybox Thunder Randy Johnson and Scot Rosen ex-2000, and I'm Gem 10's?!?! Awesome order, so many fun cards 👌. I also never noticed that Score produced Select back in the day, it's cool that Panini kept the logo almost the same and continued the brand!
Thanks! The 85 and 86 topps football sets are some of the most condition sets ever…was very happy to get 9’s on those 🤙 I appreciate ya watching always!
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 You bet! Wanted to mention after you responded so as not to promote on your video, but the SGC orders arrive tomorrow and Thursday. Going to do the BK order tomorrow and post afterwards. I may film the non-BK Thursday but will likely post Friday, busy day. Forgot also, grader didn't understand the 1990 Donruss AL's Best with the cellophane corners and as well wanted to relay that SGC has not been knocking me at all on the Tiffany specks. Really intelligent choices in cards all around and the Dawkins SC and Mahomes 1992 were standout base scores.
@@blixcards I appreciate your extensive knowledge...so you're saying the Tiffany specks are normal and shouldn't be knocked down? Dang, I'm so tired of PSA graders not understanding 1980's and 1990's cards :( They're too young and inexperienced. Next time, I'll just pick your brain before I submit :) I can't wait for your SGC reveal later in the week!
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 No problem. What I've subbed so far have been hall of famer RCs and even the o/c copies received at least 9's I believe. I can double check my scans. About to drop the BK video in a few minutes by the way. Not many surprises but a slight downer ending. Pretty dang good overall and the stuff with known damage was realistic. Also, I think I sent in at least 2 in tomorrow's order so I would wait to see what happens there just in case. But I want to say I've sent in a Maddux, 2 Randy Johnson's (1 each), a Sheffield and a Larkin and I believe they were all 9-9.5. The Sheffield or Larkin may have been a 10 (doubtful) but that reveal is a blur at this point, I'd have to go look again to confirm. Thanks again for the excellent content and support, LV!
I'm looking forward to the day when you ace a Beam Team. They're so damn tough. I have a nicely centered Shaq but it has a little bit of chipping - no way it gets better than an 8. 9's on these are pretty damn good!
Thanks as always! 🤙 Roller marks have absolutely no angle to them, very straight vertically or horizontally. Scratches usually have an angle and random placement. Hope you’re having a great week!
Super random, but I had a eureka SC investment idea and wanted to get your "Victories SC" opinion. When everyone is chasing Caitlyn Clark cards, I thought the sneaky investment opportunity might be looking into low printed WNBA GOAT Rookies like Taurasi, Sue Bird, Cooper, Leslie, etc... Many of these sets are Pinnacle, Fleer Ultra, from 97 to 2004 for example. Hoping that CC would boost dad's wanting to buy daughters these cards in masses which would increase prices in the span of the next 5-10 years. What do you think?
I like your thinking 👍 The saying is…’a rising tide lifts all boats’. So yes, I believe Caitlin will lift all wnba card values going forward especially rookie cards of the big names. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤙
That order did feel like a pre-pandemic order 👍 Lucked out with the grader. I needed it too, cuz I got burned on two big orders after that one :( Thanks for watching, and the comment! LV
Another great vid, thanks for sharing. I know you said ppl don't like complaining on grades. I don't mind, lol. I mean you have 20+ yrs exp. How does PSA even interview a grader? Consistency should be the key. Anyway I think all the Jordans helped your 10 rate, lol. PSA regulates Jordans and vintage. My opinion.
Yeah, extra tough on Jordan’s unfortunately :( I appreciate you not minding the complaining about grades from me 🙌 It just gets kinda old when some trolls on here act like I have zero experience and years submitting cards 😒 Thanks for always watching and the support! LV
Great video as usual… since you done this so long have you ever accidentally left off the barcode when sending in? If so how long does it take for psa to get to it? I let usps talk me into putting my box in a priority mail bag ( which I wasn’t thinking then covered the barcode on the box )… now they’ve had it for 2.5 weeks & nothing 🤦♂️
It depends on how busy they are. Unfortunately because of the National certain departments are backed up, and you won’t see it pop up until ‘research and id’ and that’s been taking 3 weeks roughly 👍 So you should see your order soon. Sorry about USPS talking you into a bag. I love the psa barcode system! I wish all companies did it. Thanks for watching 🙌
As someone that does it full time are u ever worried about grading companies going out of business or the card market crashing back to pre 2020 prices? Curious on your thoughts.
The card market has already crashed to pre-2020 levels 👍 And PSA is a complete juggernaut…they aren’t going anywhere. The other grading companies might go out of business, and SGC might be completely consumed by PSA, but overall the sports card world/market/hobby will never fade. It just has its ups and downs. I’ve seen it all, and I actually like where the market is at right now 🙌 Thanks for the comment and question! LV
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I’m doing this full time as a 25 year old. My inventory is huge, just a matter of turning everything into gradeable cards. I’m picking your brain cause u been doing it for a long time now it sounds like. Didn’t realize how solid the market was even in 2018, I kept hearing cards were damn near worthless back then but looking back Tom Brady chrome rookies were doing like $650 as a 9 which is still good money. U could still grade full times back then as well
Dude, talking about the Brilliance variations.... I bought a Lebron for $5 off eBay, and it turned out to be a variation... it's not even on the pop report! It's the Above & Beyond retail exclusive one. I think they have a super low print run, the Kobe is pop 5 , but nobody else has more than 2 or 3 graded

Great order! That gem 10 on the EX 2000 🔥 always love the 90s stuff
I was shocked by that one too! So hard to price it…I probably have it too high. But better to start high than to have undersold too low 🤪

Thanks for taking the time to add the values back up!
No problem 🙌 I appreciate you noticing and acknowledging that! LV
Great Gem Rate for the amount of cards!
Thanks! Very happy with the gem rate for these kinds of cards. I wish they graded the older cards a little better, but I’ll take this order for sure 👍
PSA is shameless with how they undergrade 80’s/90’s cards. Unfortunate.
It’s becoming more and more obvious :( I’m definitely going to rethink which cards I submit to PSA. Thanks for watching and the comment 🤙 LV
Love the Skybox Thunder Randy Johnson and Scot Rosen ex-2000, and I'm Gem 10's?!?! Awesome order, so many fun cards 👌. I also never noticed that Score produced Select back in the day, it's cool that Panini kept the logo almost the same and continued the brand!
I’m happy you found the cards fun! 😃 That Randy Johnson was one of my favorite cards in the order 🔥 So hard to price
Hey man love the channel! Quick suggestion, maybe send the SI Kids to SGC, I've seen some Minsize through PSA get good grades through SGC
Great call! I’m going to send in one more $12 SGC basketball order, and I’ll include the Lebron SI Kids 👍 Thanks for watching!
They know the blacks are smaller cut now because Nat must be putting his set together haha
He is actually putting the set together 🤣 Thank you Nat lol
Nice, awesome grades on Dickerson and Allen, really hard on get those
Thanks! The 85 and 86 topps football sets are some of the most condition sets ever…was very happy to get 9’s on those 🤙 I appreciate ya watching always!
Man your grader was in a good mood that day!
Definitely! Keep ‘em happy PSA! 🤞
Now that's more like it! Enjoyed the live reveal and congratulations on the results, LV!
Much better 😅 Thanks for the support always!

They’re so tough! I’ve only gotten one gem 10…and it was the Mark Price 🤣 I love that set but wish it had better photos
Cool submission as always. How can you tell the difference from a roller mark and a scratch?????
