Also got my first N3 ever and N9s for three examples of a card they've previously graded.

That's always interesting. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks Kyle. I never expect 10's but knew they would grade high. Looks like I get to keep one of the 10's and sell the other along with the 9 I will be replacing.

That’s too funny...what is the type of light they use to check? I had a few N3s come back that I can’t tell at all they they are touched up. Usually, sharpie will bleed through.

Those Sportscasters are TOUGH. Congrats, Kyle!

Kyle nice score with the Sportscaster Snead PSA 9. Not too shabby with those 8's as well. That has to be a very low POP on that Snead.

I think a blacklight will show recoloration. I'll be looking closely when I get it back in hand.
