My first time sending cards for subbmission PSA

HI, first time poster and wanted see what you guys think of my first 12 subbmission. I do not understand why such low Johnny Bench rating at 5 being it was from brand new vending box. Just started collecting again last year and my 9 year old son started collectting to and he loves opening the cards. Last year he went to cal Ripken baseball camp and got his autograph on 1987 Topps baseball card. Brings back memories when my dad would come home with stack of wax packs he bought at 7-11 or when we were at the mall and we would go threw rack packs get remaining cards we need to complete a set. This is back in the mid to late 70's when I was in grade school but I stop collecting when I hit high school. My name is Mark and I live in South Carolina and I will be posting more. Thanks

    Well that's like saying you can't believe you got some off-center cards from a case fresh wax box. Although helpful if the box is in good shape it doesn't always mean a high grade. With your other grades being pretty consistent I would guess you missed a crease on the Bench. Otherwise you did ok for a first submission.

    If you don't see anything else obvious, a common explanation for a mysterious 5 is a minor surface wrinkle. When you get the submission back, look at the front and back of the card carefully at many angles and liht intensities.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

  • Welcome to the boards, Repo! Looks like you got a few good returns there, like the '73 Topps Reggie and Ruth cards in 8. Nice going.

    Just curious, was that a November special submission? I noticed you got a 2 day turnaround! That is fantastic!

    Welcome repo! I think you did pretty well for a virgin. My first submission was UGLY!

    I agree with those above on the Bench, probably missed a wrinkle.
    EAMUS CATULI!

    Wait until you send in 100 cards like i just did, and you won't see them until next year!!image
  • Welcome!
    Yes, that was a good first submission. I wasn't happy with my grades until my third submission. I guess that's when I developed the "EYE".image

    I would assume it was his new member freebies. November specials have a 25 card minimum.

    My freebies (11/22 pop) sent in with a vintage November (11/16 pop) special took an extra week for the grades to pop.
