Question about PSA grading - Gretzky Sportscaster card

oilers99

Folks,
How much of a deduction will this card likely receive because of the upper right border issue? I'm trying to determine the appropriate service level.
Thanks

Not as bad as yours, but I would think at worst it is a 2 point deduction. So if the card is perfect, it would be a 9 or 8, otherwise I think if not, then it would be a 1 point deduction...

Thanks for the feedback - I decided to hold off on submitting it when I realized the Supersized fee would be $105 for this card.

Drop the $105 and grade it.

No Gretzky expert here; but that's a fine piece to have slabbed!

Good for you. Prices will NEVER come down if people keep sending in their cards at ridiculous prices.

$105.00 is TOO MUCH!

Agreed. We are long long overdue for a supersize holder pricing reduction. Not just a special, but also a base rate reduction for value level subs for items up to a declared value of under $199. Supersize should have the same relative pricing tier structure as the smaller holders, but at this point really only has a catch-all price point.

I just went into the PSA submission page and noticed that Regular service is now $75 for a $1499 or less DV for Supersized cards

Still too much.
