Grades posted

PSA just posted the grades for 3 cards I sent in. I had all 3 graded by BVG a couple years ago. I was expecting a 7 on the 53 Reese, hoping for a 7 on the 54 Mantle but am happy with the 6 because of the centering and I'm very surprised with the 7 on the 56 Mantle. I was expecting a 5 and hoping for a 6 on it. The BVG grades were as follows; 53 Reese was BVG 5.5, 54 Mantle was BVG 5 and the 56 Mantle was BVG 4.5.

    I removed all the cards from the BVG holders. I have a few more grades that should post in a couple days. Some of them were also BVG graded. Where Beckett kills you with their grades is the centering. On both Mantles Beckett gave the centering a 4 but the corners were a 5 on the 56 and a 6.5 on the 54. That is why I'm so surprised that the 56 graded higher than the 54.

    That is pretty crazy going from a 4.5 to a 7 on that 56 Mantle. Someone missed something somewhere along the line on that one.

    I was thinking that was a huge jump as well.

    Good job!
