I still haven't gotten this grading thing down yet

RedRomad275

Here's my grades of my latest submission. I have only made three submissions and have not been very sucessful. I have a jewlers lighted glass but must still be missing some things. Makes me afraid to submit any of my 33's for fear of really bad grades if at all.

My deepest sympathies. I am still a "newbie" here on the forum, and new to submitting cards for grading. I have only sent 2 rounds in for grading during February. Was quickly indoctrinated into the dark reality of grades versus what I perceived them at. My beloved 67-68 Topps Baseball cards that I thought would be 8's, maybe a few higher, have come back with nothing higher than a few 7's, a bunch of 6's and a few 5's. You look at yours under a jewelers glass. I looked at mine under a 20X magnified drafters lamp. PSA looks at them under the Hubble telescope.

Must assume that there are simply better cards out there versus our perception.
