Grades just popped... not results I was hoping for!

1966CUDA

Both Mantles measured the same as both Rose cards and the Jordan was pack-pulled. The Thomas is disappointing also!

Bummer. Are you going to resubmit the Mantle?

I had a very disappointing sub pop today as well.

I have one that's been in Q2 for over a week, and this thread is making me nervous.

Where else was it going to come from, a home printer??

Were there factory sets with stickers?

I meant I pulled it from a pack years ago

Of course, but still doesn't mean the N6 is wrong. Compare it to a proper size card

when i got back into collecting in 2007, i bought and graded Mantles like crazy. They were fake, trimmed, miscut you name it. So i gave up buying raw ones. just too much of a hassle. The best raw one I bought and graded myself was a 1966, 1967 that graded a 7 and and 1968 that graded a bvg 7.5.

I have a dozen baseball from the 70s that I pulled directly out of packs that all came back N6, but I just keep resending. Doesn't hurt me at all, and I hope I get lucky sooner or later.

Some people purchase their cards as singles. Why do some feel the need to be so rude?

Although I agree it doesn't hurt the submitter since no charge, it is completely unacceptable for a professional card grading company to not holder a card when they know in fact it was cut by the factory short and is 100% untrimmed. Either they know the difference in what minsizerq and trimmed mean or they don't. xD MINSIZERQ is like some lame excuse from PSA that they cannot holder a card of that size, when in reality, they holder millions of cards much much smaller. What gives???

PSA notoriously has this excuse on basketball stickers from the 86-88 fleer sets and the 1986 Fleer Sticker Kareem Abdul Jabbar is one of the worst factory cuts out there. Since it is widely known, you would think a professional grading company such as PSA should deem them authentic and untrimmed to holder them with a grade. Instead, submitters get a continuous minsizerq until someone doesn't measure the card and it grades (2-5 tries later).

And, they tell you that grading is subjective...
