My submission from 7/6 popped today. This made my day. 
A lot of these cards are from my childhood collection, as well as a recent box break of 1982 and 1985 Topps. I really wanted to test out my "pre-grading" abilities with this 50 card sub. I think I did pretty darn well! I undergraded 16 cards, and only overgraded 6.
10 PSA 10s in 1 sub. SWEET.
1967 TOPPS 500 JUAN MARICHAL PSA 6
1968 TOPPS 50 WILLIE MAYS PSA 5
1968 TOPPS 85 GAYLORD PERRY PSA 6
1968 TOPPS 205 JUAN MARICHAL PSA 7 --- expected a 6
1969 TOPPS 370 JUAN MARICHAL PSA 9 --- expected a 7, WTF! 1 of 12 PSA 9s, none higher
1969 TOPPS 485 GAYLORD PERRY YL PSA 6
1969 TOPPS 597 A.L. ROOKIES (Fingers) PSA 6 --- expected a 5
1970 TOPPS 453 ROD CAREW PSA 7 --- expected an 8 or better,
1976 TOPPS 98 DENNIS ECKERSLEY PSA 9OC --- I expected a 7, since I asked for no Q's, but a 9 oc is nicer than a 7 to me)
1981 TOPPS 240 NOLAN RYAN PSA 9
1983 TOPPS 83 RYNE SANDBERG PSA 9 --- expected an 8
1984 FLEER 131 DON MATTINGLY PSA 9 --- expected an 8

1984 TOPPS 8 DON MATTINGLY PSA 9

1985 FLEER 155 ROGER CLEMENS PSA 7 --- expected an 8
1985 LEAF 99 ROGER CLEMENS PSA 8ST --- expected a 7 I can't believe I missed a stain

1986 DONRUSS ROOKIES 11 BARRY BONDS PSA 8
1986 DONRUSS ROOKIES 32 WILL CLARK PSA 9
1986 MOTHER'S COOKIES 7 WILL CLARK PSA 10 --- expected a 9! Population 1 = me.
1986 TOPPS TRADED TIFFANY 50T BO JACKSON PSA 9 --- expected an 8
1987 DONRUSS 138 NOLAN RYAN PSA 10 --- one of 4 "sure 10s"
1987 MOTHER'S COOKIES 22 MATT WILLIAMS PSA 10 --- expected a 9! Pop 2, very nice.
1989 UPPER DECK 13 GARY SHEFFIELD PSA 10 --- expected a 9
1989 UPPER DECK 17 JOHN SMOLTZ PSA 9
1989 UPPER DECK 25 RANDY JOHNSON PSA 10 --- expected a 9
1990 LEAF 220 SAMMY SOSA PSA 9
1990 LEAF 300 FRANK THOMAS PSA 9
1990 TOPPS 1 NOLAN RYAN PSA 10 --- one of 4 "sure 10s"
1994 UPPER DECK 298 ALEX RODRIGUEZ PSA 10 --- expected a 9
1977 TOPPS 360 WALTER PAYTON PSA 6 --- expected a 7
1981 TOPPS 216 JOE MONTANA PSA 7 (I paid $200 for this when I was a kid, back in 1990 T/B centering keeps it down)
1983 TOPPS 169 JOE MONTANA PSA 9
1984 TOPPS 358 JOE MONTANA PSA 9
1987 TOPPS 31 JOHN ELWAY PSA 9 (I thought it had an outside shot at a 10)
1992 FLEER 401 SHAQUILLE O'NEAL PSA 10 --- one of 4 "sure 10s"
1992 FLEER 401 SHAQUILLE O'NEAL PSA 10 --- one of 4 "sure 10s"
The 1982s are a surprise. I figured the Montana was the weakest of the 4, yet it 9ed while two 8ed.
1982 TOPPS 196 MATT MILLEN PSA 8 --- expected a 9 what did I miss?
1982 TOPPS 213 JACK LAMBERT PSA 8 --- expected a 9
1982 TOPPS 220 JOHN STALLWORTH PSA 9
1982 TOPPS 488 JOE MONTANA PSA 9 --- expected an 8
These came out better than I expected, very nice. If this is an accurate template, I have more to submit later. These were the highlights of a "Steve Hart" wax box I bought back in November of last year.
1985 TOPPS 40 TONY DORSETT PSA 9
1985 TOPPS 59 WILLIAM GAY PSA 9 --- (thought it could pull a 10)
