The Randles should have both been at least 9's. I've opened more than 100 of these and these were two of the better ones. I have another 15 at PSA now, so I should end up with a 10 eventually. I am REALLY stoked about the PSA 10 Doleman though, that makes my day. I've never seen one on ebay and I wanted/needed it for my Vikings set. The Jimmy Smith I bought raw off Sportlots, thought it would be a 10, but I have two more chances with that card. It's a really light and flimsy card but for some reason isn't as prone to chipping as one would think.

Here's the story though. I had a voucher from a previous submission, for 4 free grades. The voucher just said "Marketing Special", so I called customer service and asked what that meant. I was told I could send the cards in under a 5 day $13 special. So that's what I did. (These were cards I wanted for my registry, normally I would not have spent $13 each on them to be graded).
I sent in two orders at the same time. The first was checked in last Thursday. On Tuesday this week I finally called and was told this order was on the problem shelf because that voucher was not valid for the 5 day service. So rather than pay the $10/card and wait 35 days, or have the cards shipped back to me ungraded, I just opted for the voucher to be returned to me and to pay the $13/card. As it turns out, the PSA 10 on the Doleman is worth the $60 I spent anyway... At least that's going to make me feel better anyway. The Randles are 9's at least, I got jobbed on those. The Doleman was a lock 10. If it hadn't come back a 10, I'd have called and complained right away.

thats great news on the voucher. I have one that says the same thing "marketing special" but its for 7 cards!!!
Collecting:
Brett Favre Master Set
Favre Ticket Stubs
Favre TD Reciever Autos
Football HOF Player/etc. Auto Set
Football HOF Rc's
They told me it was valid for the $13/5 day but then stuck it on the problem shelf when it arrived and forced me to pay for the $13/5day special. So instead of just the return shipping I ended up paying $60 for these 4 cards.
Maybe that is more clear? Still glad I pulled the 10 on the Doleman for my Vikes set. Current pop is 7 and I've had an active search on ebay for more than a year and never seen one.
