How did I do?

I just got back my 50 cards that I submitted under the "vintage common 1960 - 1971" option. This was my first "real" submission where I louped the cards and hoped for 8's. (To be honest, I only checked the corners, not the surfaces.)
I ended up with:
PSA 5 x 2
PSA 6 x 2
PSA 7 x 12
PSA 8 x 30
PSA 8 st x 1
PSA 9 x 3
Since I collect 7's as well as 8's, I was happy. My question is, is 66% respectable? What degree of accuracy do you guys expect/achieve?
Thanks,
Michael

Depends on what you submitted and if any of the cards are in the 'low pop' category.
Overall, for 'vintage' cards from the 60s or 70s, I think you did alright for your first 'real' submission!
1961 Topps FB PSA 8
1970 Topps FB PSA 9
The 9's were:
11748183 1969 TOPPS 239 BOB TAYLOR N/A 9 (1 of 4)
11748184 1969 TOPPS 247 GENE OLIVER N/A 9 (1 of 6)
11748218 1969 TOPPS 518 FRED WHITFIELD N/A 9 (1 of 1)
Needless to say, I am very happy with those numbers. As a matter of fact, I am pleased with the entire submission. I just wasn't sure if 66% was a respectable "hit" ratio since this was my first submission. I'm still curious how well everybody else does perentage wise.
(I think this post makes me a "Senior Member" - hooray for me!)
That's 90% which is an "A" in my book. Since you collect 7's then they are useful even if you hope for 8's.
66% though is a great start and it will get better with time. I have had guys tell me that they usually hit 85 to 90% as experienced submitters.
I did talk to a guy once who said he submitted 242 66T BB hopeing for 9's which were really hot at the time and got 100% 8's. He was disappointed. That is the biggest vinatge hit rate I have heard of to date.
And congrats on that hard earned "Senior" title.
