How many times do you go back and look at your grades after they post?

I dont know what it is but I seem to go back at least 10 or so times just to look at my grades after they post. I guess it gives me that special happy feeling or something image

Anyone else do the same?

    All the time! I keep thinking "no way was that card a 6, they are still reviewing it and next time I check my grades it will be an 8"

    I always wait until my cards arrive to look at the grades on them. Its tempting to peek, but I like the anticipation.

    i usually just print out the results. i dont look that much. just to see the grades, add cards to the sets, request new cards that need to be added to the sets.

    I never check grades online.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I remember you posted that before and I did it once recently as I sent cards to GEM (I know,but no one else would grade the versions as they were unlisted and cut short) GEM doesnt post online grades so I didnt know until I opened them. The experience was thrilling. I have some cards at BGS and hopefully I can keep from looking. Doubt it.

    What's the point of checking with GEM anyways? It's either a 9 or a 10.

    Oddly enough I received a 8 on one!!!! Is a GEM 8 considered a error? 1/1 LOL
