Will do tommorow.They are ok but wish they were better. It is difficult when dealing with 75 Topps minis.
Curious to know what you think was the main reason for the grades, which you admit you hoped were better? Is it centering? Were these straight out of wax packs or did you get them in a lot off Ebay? My inquiring mind would like to know. You would have thought with all of those 8's that you would have snagged at least one 9, so I wonder what you think held the 8's back from being 9's...thanks....
Centering without a doubt.
Unless I skipped over it, not one half grade.
I see a lot of 8’s, which aren’t bad. Sorry there was nothing higher, but as you’ve noted, it’s a really tough set.

Yep, and this is the kind of thing that is one of life's mysteries to me. People lose their minds over things that are not necessarily easily solvable, like the recent undetection of undetectable alterations. But when something like this CONSISTENTLY goes on, nobody seems to care.
By my Michigan State math, in Tony's submission, approximately 50 of the cards should have received a half-point grade. The fact that ZERO did means either (1) The grader never considered the half-point grading scale, or (2) the half-point grade is reserved for the top 2-3 % of cards in a certain grade range (in which case it should be the scale should be 1, 1.97, 2, 2.97, and so on).
Neither scenario is acceptable in my mind, and I believe this is something that is tangible enough for PSA to publicly address and correct, because it is simply not right. Zero out of 100 defies probabilities and thus violates PSA published grading scale in my opinion.

When I submit Venezuelans or pre war I seem to get quite a few half grades. When I submit mainstream post war cards, I almost never see one.

yup...BGS always has half-grade cards...not sure why PSA seems reluctant to use them...doesn't make sense how so few half-point grades are used...I honestly think that graders don't really consider them and/or forget about them many times...
My non-scientific theory for higher rates of a half grades are:
the lower side of the grade scale. ie 3.5 or 4.5 vs 8.5s.
non-packed issued autographed cards.
pre-war cards
Half grades are the incentive to resub for a bump. This should be pretty common knowledge. The system relies on cards coming back over and over.
I am very surprised I did not get any half grades. I knew going in that I would get some lower grades but did not want qualifiers , had I asked for qualifiers I would have possibly received many OC ‘s .This set is very tough.I wanted a challenge and I sure have one now.LOL
I did ask for 5 cards to have qualifiers only.Just the Very low pop ones.
Just to clarify.....you checked the box for "No Qualifiers" for all but 5? I wasn't aware you could actually ask FOR qualifiers?
You can mark cards That you do not want qualifiers however if you leave the box bank they may issue you a qualifier if it does not meet cards criteria.I had about 5 cards that i figured I would be better off with a qualifier.These Mini Card and a good amount would have qualifiers if I had allowed them that why several 5 and ^ grade.
I very rarely ask for no qualifiers. it seems that even cards that should have garnered the OC qualifier have just been graded down with the straight grade over my past several submissions. I'm not sure if that is a trend others are seeing or not.
I agree with this as well and will add to my theory.
eta: not a conspiracy theorist but considering people go for bumps, im sure there are a few cards in this RAW sub worthy of an 8.5? 😉
I agree that it is odd not to receive an half grades on a bulk sub but I've had it happen. I'm going to play devil's advocate here for a second. You have indicated that centering was a big issue with the cards that were subbed? Maybe the reason for no half grades was that there were cards that were slightly oc that didn't adhere to the .5 standards? My understanding of the half grade is that it was given for an exceptional card of a certain grade that didn't quite fit the standards for the next grade up.
Again, I don't know what any of the cards looked like and who really knows for sure. Just thinking out loud over here.
In my experience in searching for 75 mini’s graded is that .5 are very scarce although I have purchased a couple 8.5 for my set.
