Steve,

This gives you a chance to "tune up" your eyes so to speak. My first submission was about the same experience as yours, you have to handle a bunch of raw cards then see what grades they get before you can acquire a feel for the standards PSA is looking for. Good luck on your next sub.

Keep at it balco,

'75's can be tough - that's the year I'm working on now.

I won't get a big head, but nice grades right!

First submission sets the standard to start training your eyes.
I think when we first submit, we just look at the cards at a quick
glance and say "these look nice" and that's it and off they go and
we just hope.

I remembered my very first PSA submission pretty clearly....
82 TT Cal Ripken PSA 9
85 T Mark McGwire PSA 9
