I think the 68s are a little tougher to see the surface wrinkles and such, especially on the back. I used to have a Mantle that my sister sat on (I was a little kid and grading wasn't in the picture yet). You could see the crease on the front, but the back really took some looking to see it.
<< <i>Should I be driving without glasses? >>
Will this submission put you at #68 for the '68s?? PSA8s in these cards ain't bad!
And to answer your question, probably not
If you are new to grading you have my sympathy. It can be a tough go if you are inexperienced and dont really know what to look for. Often times before someone is familiar with grading they are way off on their expectations.
I strongly suggest you take a good look at the 8's you got under an excellent light source with a 10X loupe, making sure you recognize what a NM/MT card exhibits condition wise. Pay close attention to all details. Centering, edges, corners, and particularly the surface as this is where many of your lower grades probably were affected.
Aside from the Mantle and maybe a half dozen others you wont even recoup what it cost to grade, so it is an expensive lesson that many of us learn at the beginning.
Better luck next time

Sure, just get a prescription windshield.
Tough break on those 68's.

As The Book of the SubGenius would illustrate,
PSA graders could learn to relax while on the job, then maybe they would have cut u a little slack on those 8's?

I gues having your grades in 5 business days on a couple subs wasn't worth it. I hope I fare better since my subs are in the 30 bd range right now. to wait this long and get hammered would hurt.
Your turn around is awesome. I am still waiting for a submission that was received by PSA on 1-21-07, logged in on 2-21-07. You have to love this.

Nope. It's up to date...until later this week. I have some crossovers I'm waiting on too. Thye were submitted with the larger order, and haven't been posted yet.

Thanks I'll need it. I actually have several 9s so far, so I could see some 7s and 8s, but not 5s. I really have to look at them again.

You are correct. My next submission will have my avatar tepd on every stack for good luck.
I agree with hoof. 8s are not bad, especially the Mick in 8 is a nice card to have.
Thanks, I agree too. I thought I'd get a few 9's though. Hopefully next time. The mantle is really nice. I might try to resubmit it.

Probably too many narcotics is more like it.

We all have had to learn how to send cards to PSA. I lost a lot of money in the beginning grading cards. I don't think you need glass, unless this was your 40th submission, you need experience/knowledge of what qualifies as a PSA 8.
Your turn around is awesome. I am still waiting for a submission that was received by PSA on 1-21-07, logged in on 2-21-07. You have to love this.
Yeah, it wasn't so bad. It took abnout a month to get them back from shipping them out. I'm guessing because they are all from the same set it made it a bit easier. They still have a few crossovers though that haven't been graded yet.

Tough break on some of those, but a Mick in an 8 ain't too shabby.

No, it's not bad at all. I think I paid about $100 for it a few years ago, probably 7 or 8 years actually. Bit it is reaaly nice. I really wanted the 9.

I don't think too many of today's kids caught that one.

Still, for grading those without a loupe you didn't do too badly. There's some good grades in there. The Mantle 8 helps.
