IS PSA Scaling Back on the GEM MINT 10s?

NewJerseyMeatHook

Very large drop in 10s in last few submissions. Anyone else notice the phenomenon?

Brian48

Nope. It's always been hard for me to get 10's no matter what.

Yes. I have dropped from about 10% to only 1 10 in the last 4 submissions. On my side, same eyes, same cards and same holders and storage.

i was looking at an 81t football psa 10 i purchased from j9suited.

after review, this is one that i would have not submitted due to cornerwear, yet it yielded a 10. i'm not the expert but i do not think this would've ever been a 10 coming from me. if it is indeed a 10, i need to go back thru some 81s.

i have had better luck with modern than vintage. on my last sub i had 1 10 out of 13 and all 13 cards were taken right from the pack to the holder after 10x loupe.

maybe they are cracking down.

I really can't complain, but when you're used to a higher percentage of 10s, it's a bit frustrating. Especially, in funding the "hobby/addiction."

Yep, same eyes, same cards pulled from same packs, same storage, etc.

Very curious.

I was happy with my last results. I received 2 10s out of 24 '77 Buger King Yankees submitted. Its not an easy set to get 10s.

I got a bunch of 10s on my last Tallboy submission. Very happy with that.
