Just got grades back off a small player set submission, and I was off on almost every card.... Heres the catch.... The 55 bowman and the 58T stink.... 6 is a joke.... But the 55T and 57T should 2 higher each... 56 is actually ok. I actually thought about taking the 55B out because it is does not have 90/10 centering on the back, hell it is miscut. The left edge has the glove half gone. I actually posted the 57 raw on the boards a few weeks ago, but cant find now. I will scan a few when they arrive. I really dont know why my grades on vintage cards are down, I even pregraded these and looked over everything, with a light, measured, and put them under a 10x, put them away for a week and did it again... Anyone know of some decent eyes in the southwest ohio region (cinti)please turn me on to them. Enough THX I feel better.. sub#4239390 zip 45239

    Just letting you know somebody read your thread. Hope you feel better. Grading disappointments occur. Over time, the eye gets better. Regards.

    Could you have missed a surface wrinkle? on the back or something? 2 grades lower then what you thought it should grade is a pretty big jump.
    I am not sure as I have not seen the scans.
    I would be interested in seeing the scans when you get them back.

    I just got the grades on the first 1/2 of a large submission. I was a bit dissappointed too with mine. I will say this. I usually take the ones I'm dissatisfied with and regrade them now that there in the holder and believe it or not most of them I wind up agreeing with them on. The ones I dont I send back for review or just crack out and resubmit. There were 6 crackouts on this submission and 4 upgraded. 1 of those upgraded 2 grades. I've never had that happen before.

    Received cards back today and was I ever surprised with the 57 aaron... I thought it was an 8 all the way, no worse than a 7. Well it received a 6.... I didnt even have to look twice to find a scrap like mark on the left side that wasnt there under a 10x when it was sent. now it can be seen from about 3-4 ft away.... I guess i should be thankful for a 6... Has anyone ever had cards damaged or thought to be damaged sometime during the gradeing process???

    Unlikely this happened.

    If you are new to sending in cards for submissions, these disappointments are going to occur. I remember my first submission and being totally shocked (I think everyone has).

    What I did was get some of the same set of card in 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 so you can see the subtle differences between them. I took notes as I found what are very small differences, but are the breaking points between the different grades.

    Once you have a baseline for what constitutes a 8, for example, you'll be more easily able to spot grade.

    Hmmm - I thought the grades I got on some 54 and 56 Topps star cards were kind of generous compared to some other submissions. Got back a 54 Spahn, and 56 Kaline which were graded sevens. I thought they were both sure sixes. The rest of the grades were pretty much what I expected. Guess expectations differ with each person.
