Grades finally popped on a Feb Special Submission incl. a GAI crossover

I sent in a submission of five cards for the February Special ('60-71 10 business day turnaround @8.00 each). Took them 4 extra business days from time logged into system (March 11th). Will PSA give me any concessions on them? Anyway, grades were interesting:

1 31536213 1966 TOPPS 86 VIC HADFIELD N/A 9 Was a GAI 9
2 31536214 1963 PARKHURST 29 BOOM BOOM GEOFFRION N/A 6
3 31536215 1970 O-PEE-CHEE 59 TIM HORTON N/A 4
4 31536216 1962 TOPPS 398 DON DRYSDALE ALL STAR 7
5 31536217 1971 TOPPS 503 GATES BROWN N/A 8

Overall, I think I'm getting better with eyeing my cards for submission. The Hadfield is the first 9, but that set has very few submissions on it. The Boom Boom I picked up raw on Ebay in '99 and the card was sharp edge and corner wise, but had some discoloration on the borders--I'm figuring that is what knocked the grade down. The Horton I can't figure, unless there was a wrinkle or the rough cut was actually damage. The Drysdale was bought raw on Ebay with 8 other '62's for $9 and change and I felt at the time of purchase from the scan that it had a shot at a 7 or 8. The Gates Brown was my first successful '71 from Ebay not to come back recolored.

I was very concerned with the Hadfield after cracking it that it might come back trimmed as it did have a rough cut on the top. Guess my fears were unnecessary. I have a few more GAI 9's (newer cards) that I bought cheap with the intention on crossing and now I can't wait to cross those.
Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

  • Nice results.

    Did you crack the GAI card and submit it raw, or did you use "Crossover" service?

    LOL!


    Friends don't let friends waste money on the crossover service.
  • I cracked it. I was afraid if I sent it in in the GAI holder it would come back with a lower grade.
