Absolutely Brutal!

Ok, now I figured I would be lucky to get anything above an 8 on the 1981 Brett Fleer, but to get an 8 on a sweet-looking David Wright from 2005? I'd have never sent the thing in if it didn't look awesome under the glass. I knew the Pujols and Puckett cards were sure-fire 10's (well, prayed they'd be...) The same problem with the 1981 Donruss Nolan Ryan - perfect center and sharp corners, sometimes I am just puzzled by this. Also, since I will never be able to afford the awesome 1953 Bowman Color Mantle, I am satisfied with having the reprint on my desk to look at. But the reall reaming happened on the '87 Clemens, it was the best fo a bunch I have had for almost 20 years now and figured it'd be a keeper as an 8 (I am not in this to get rich. obviously) but my eyes cannot be THAT bad. Arrrghh.. best of luvk to all of you waiting on yours.

A little OT, but one thing I would consider in the future is not using your vouchers to grade low-dollar cards. You can usually find someone on these boards to piggyback with if you have post-1980 stuff to grade, and that leaves the vouchers available for more valuable cards.
The David Wright almost surely has a small scratch in the gloss. You probably won't be able to see it through the slab, but if you cracked it I bet you'd see it on there somewhere.
Sorry you're bummed, and better luck next time.
So I have come to know that brutal submissions are the cost of participating in the grading process. One thing is certain - everybody gets disappointed. But on the whole, it really is fun to play the game.
