Came much faster than I expected. Logged in 1/8 and shipped 1/24. A couple 9s, several 8s and way too many 7s. Even a 6 and a 5 in there. I called myself looking at these things. A few will be cracked out and resubmitted. So far I am 4-for-5 on cracking 7s and getting 8s. But the best part is I finally got a Henderson, Grote, and Reds RCs in PSA 8. WOO-HOO!! That makes me feel a little better about all the 7s.

    I'm confused with the theory of cracking/resubmitting.....if you get a 7 and resubmit it and get an 8, do you really feel good about that card? I mean, if you felt it was undergraded as a 7, couldnt the same be said that it might be overgraded and get an 8?

    I wouldn't have submitted the cards if I didn't thing they had a legit shot at an 8 or better. Obviously I missed a surface wrinkle on a couple. Honestly most of these cards were physically (corners,edges,surface) really close to nines but the centering was borderline on several of them, and I specified no qualifiers, hence the sevens. I figured with the $5 special they were worth the chance. Still there were a few that I checked with a dial caliper that fell just within the centering range for a PSA 8 and definitely met the criterion for an 8, but got a 7 so these will be going back.

    thats exactly what happened to me on a few cards.. i got several more 7's than i wouldve liked, and a few 6's.. as you did, i specified "no qualifiers" so the centering on some may have been the reason for the grade..

    As always, it depends on the card. If the card really deserved an 8 in the first place, then the answer to your question is no, it wouldn't be overgraded as an 8. If the card deserved a 7 all along and later received an 8, then yes, it would now be overgraded. This really goes back to my feeling that PSA's grading standards have become a moving target. I'd feel a lot better about the grades I receive myself if I didn't consistently see lesser cards in holders with higher numbers on them. I'd feel better about the level of consistency if I didn't hear stories about people cracking stuff and getting 2-grade upgrades. While you should definitely buy the card and not the holder, the moving target has made it tougher to buy a graded card that you're sure to be happy with. Given the price gaps between 8s, 9s, and 10s, this is sort of a big deal.

    Are these all tougher "low pop" cards? What would the average market value of the cards be if the resubmitted 7's came back 8's?

    jason- i'd be excited about the reds rookie card 524, very tough . last time i looked there was 14 8's with none graded higher. the henderson has only one or two 9's and 13 8's. if you figure in the grote you really didn't too bad.

    by the end of februrary i plan to have a large lot of 175- 200 '72 psa 8's available for sale LMK if your interested.......jim

    Jim, I'm glad to get some most of the tough ones out of the way early. Make it alot easier when I get close to 100%. That Kendall was a PSA 9oc that I cracked out. The centering is 50/50 L/R and 62/38 T/B. I can't understand the 7. I've seen straight 9 with similar centering. It will definitely be going back. The Foli IA should have been an 8 too. As far as the 8s you will be selling, I'm definitely interested. I don't think I'll be able to buy all of them, but I will buy several if you don't mind selling in smaller lots.
