its been in post graded processing for 2 days, but they don't grade the 1975 tcma memphis gary carter any longer, which i found weird. they have graded 21 in the past. anyone know if psa still grades them?
Work hard and you will succeed!!

got the grades today. mixed bag, total 150.
about 15 came back worse than i thought, more than a grade.
most came back like i thought and a few were a little better.
if i knew it had a flaw, the grade came back just as thought. if i thought it was a 9 it can back lower. lol!!!
the highlights:
3 10's 1987 topps uk rice pop 1, 1987 topps uk montana pop 3, 1992 fleer 7/11 frank thomas pop 1
1985 mcmichael psa 9 pop 2 no 10's
several nice nolan ryan's from the 70's. overall decent.
Great to hear. Congratulations.
How was the breakdown on the 70s?
it looks like they have a hard time going above an 8. I was surprised by my Nolan Ryan grades. 1976 8 (one soft corner, was hoping for a 7.5), 1973 6.5 (picked up on ebay for $20, one bad corner, but great centering. I thought i might get a 6), 1975 mini 7 and 1975 regular 7.5 (top left corner not great and the card was a little light colored but perfect centering, was hoping for 6.5). Most of the 70's were 7's, 7.5 and 8. I have many pop 1's because I sent in a few OPC.
the best grades from the 70's of other cards:
1975 opc griffey sgc 8 - pop 1 none higher
1975 pete rose sgc 8
1975 carl y sgc 8.5
1974 rose sgc 8

1971 simmons 6.5
1969 nettles opc sgc 7
1972 rose sgc 7
1974 tanana sgc 9

Those are pretty great grades. Congrats.
On a scale of 1 - 10 I was about an 8. Not bad.
Congrats. I was contemplating that 1987 Topps American UK set and wondering how they would be graded, whether PSA or SGC would be the best option. Now I know SGC will still go Gem Mint on a 1987 star player so glad to hear that.
Just had a pack come in the mail yesterday. Neither of these seem like 10s but can continue to try. But maybe an SGC 9.5. Do like that possibility.
Seems like a cool set. Like the miniature size, the team logo, the card stock and some of these pics look cooler than the regular 1987 set.
i also received 2 9.5's elway and rice
Pretty good results! Congrats.
If the 1987 topps uk rice psa 10 is as hard to find in good condition as the regular issue that is a homerun!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Pop 19 on PSA
POP 1 on SGC
It's tough to get 10's on SGC. They seem to like centered cards though for the vintage and give out "fairer" grades for those.
I sent in a Joe Montana (1987 uk) to PSA and they gave me a 5 because it had rough edges. I looked through ebay and they gave out 10's for several that had rough edges. Took it out sent it to SGC and got a 10. It looks like a 10 to me. The rough cut should be a factor in the grade, in my opinion. But it didn't used to be for PSA.
Long and short of it is PSA got really big and has had thousands of different graders through the years. SGC is smaller and probably has many of the same crew grading (i.e. more consistent).
But as you can see, SGC makes it tough to get a 10. I have sent in a Rice card in each of my last two gradings and got a 9.5 and a 10. both are pop 1's.
The 1987 rack pack card of rice and this card are very very hard to get in 10's and should be exceptionally higher in price.
"1975" TCMAs are actually from 1976. They were also heavily reprinted. I would imagine one or both of those is the reason why SGC is no longer grading them.
so psa doesn't grade them any longer? i have several they graded in the past. i graded them myself.
I'm not sure.
I was happy with this recent order
