    how do you know if you got 314 vs 404?? any way to tell from the serial number??

    is it just the first 3 numbers??? every card graded by the dreaded 314 grader will always have 314 at the front????

    Yes, although Carol "debunked" the "myth" in the 314 thread (but I don't buy it) - I got creamed on 3 different 314xxxxx submissions. Very pleased with my three 404xxxxx submissions.

    Good job. I've always enjoyed crossing over cards to the holder that's dominant in their market (psa for vintage and bgs for modern). There's little risk since they'll sell for a little more in the same grade and they may go up as well. (Well, I guess there's one risk, but I've yet to crack out a card that wouldn't cross to at least the same grade after the second try, and I've only had to do that a few times).

    Interesting...

    the CSA and BVG cards crossed over straight

    the PSA card got a bump as did 2/3 SGC cards.

    so, it looks like there are bumps to be had by resubmitting PSA cards and crossing over SGCs image

    Seriously, very nice results ...the '62 Mantle and '63 Stargell must make you very happy.

    Yes, was very happy about the Mantle - but not surprised (Looked great). The Stargell was a nice surprise.

    any card that starts with the #'s 314 will need to be regraded or you can just keep it in its undergraded case. This employee needs to be relieved of his duties, although it will never happen, as he makes double the money for the company as the other graders as anyone who knows anything just resubmits those cards in hopes he doesn't get them again. It is then and only then, they find there proper holders.

    Thanx for taking the time to share the scans
