Altogether so so. The nines are nice but I thought the Fiddy was also a nine and was really hoping one of the Roses and one of the Carews would grade 10. It does seem that PSA is tougher these days as compared to when I was in full-swing years ago. I like seeing others' results so I feel I should share mine too (the good, the bad, and the ugly). This sub most definitely includes all three! I have 24 1975 Topps Pete Roses in right now which I am really looking forward to seeing the results on. Oh, and I did manage to garner the dreaded N6!
Comments
Still amazing grades! Congrats!
Post some scans when you get them back, I worry too that an influx of new graders will result in less 10's as they are more gun-shy than a seasoned grader might be and look to err on the side of caution. That said several 9's on hof'rs on 77's is nicely done.
Lots of grades there.
Topps' card stock from the later 1970s always felt a little flimsier (for lack of a better word) to me, with 1977 being the flimsiest of the bunch in my opinion.
That's a pretty good sub imo. Congrats.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
FWIW - The last two NM-MT 8 Carews were cracked out of GAI 9.5 and GAI 9 holders.
That’s a good sub.

No problem. There is another thread going that has a lot of useful information about timelines for recent subs. It is called "Grade Poppage Thread" Check it out. I find it helpful anyhow. These were submitted at the Economy level.

Sub like a lot of mine. Solid grades but hoping for 1-2 great grades that did not come through.
If a Carew and or Rose 8 are available let me know..

Absolutely. I have dozens of each in 8. PM me your addy and I'll
give them to you. I remember you from way back.
Very generous of you Bobby. That's the kind of stuff this community has always been about.
Here's the 77 Fidrych. Front and back scan along with the PSA 9 Carews, Roses, and Rusty Staub for anyone interested. I must have missed something on the Fiddy but can't find it yet. The upper left corner is sharp even though it doesn't look it in my scan. I did ask for NQ as well. And for the record, my scanning is not exactly world-class in terms of equipment nor ability. Good luck collecting, gents!
