Grade finally popped. Woth the wait.

Hello everyone. I post here now and again, but read every day. I finally got my June special graded (mix of everything) and I was pretty happy with the grades, so I thought I would post them. The one card that I just don't understand it the 1978 OPC Murray coming back as trimmed? I'll resubmit it. Also, POST CANADIAN look sharp not sure why no grade was assigned. I enjoy seeing everyones grades pop, keep them comming. Have a great day.

    Got mine today. Not too happy considering the anticipation for them. Mainly for my Gary Carter Master Set. Really bummed about the 76 OPC. I thought it would be a straight-up 9, instead a 8ST. Sucks. And the 87 Classic 7? I must have missed something. That was a waste.

    Nice 67 Brock.
    Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set
  • Thank you. I'm looking forward to finally getting them back in hand. (Brock especially) It took so long, I almost forgot what I sent in.

    Yes, well done!

    Please post a scan when you get a chance.

    Kudos.

    N0 means it will come back with Authentic on the slab, no grade assigned. Not sure if you've read the below on the PSA grading standards page, but worth a read. I wasn't aware of it before my friend got his 1952 Mikan Wheaties graded and it came back N0.

    The Grading of Hand Cut Cards
    PSA will grade virtually any card that has been hand-cut off of a panel, box, etc. (Post Cereal, Hostess, Bazooka, Strip cards, etc.) keeping the following information in mind. This service does not include traditional sheet-cut cards. PSA will not grade cards cut from sheets that can be obtained in a normal fashion. For example, PSA will not grade a 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky card cut from a sheet because that card was issued in non-sheet form. On the other hand,

    PSA will grade a 1959 Bazooka or 1961 Post Cereal Mickey Mantle because those cards could only be obtained in one fashion - removed by hand from a box or panel.

    In order for PSA to actually assign a grade to any of the cards that possess visible/defined borders on all four sides, evidence of that border must be present. If the cut exceeds the visible border for the card in question, PSA will encapsulate the card as "Authentic" only. If the card is severely undersized and suffers in overall eye-appeal, the graders may deem the card not suitable for authentication or reject the card as minimum sized altogether.

    Keep in mind that, for cards that do not possess visible/defined borders, the cards must still fall within a certain size requirement for that particular issue in order to qualify for an actual grade. In other words, the borders must be virtually full in order for a grade to be rendered. Otherwise, as stated above, a label of "Authentic" will be assigned or, in some cases, the cards may fall short of the size requirement altogether. This is not an exact science, however, PSA will do its best to provide consistent guidelines for these types of cards.

    In addition, PSA will allow cards that have had a coupon or tab removed from the original card to be submitted under this service. For example, if a 1952 Red Man Tobacco card is cut at or outside of the established tab line, the card would be eligible to receive a numerical grade. On the other hand, if the 1952 Red Man Tobacco card is cut inside of the line (the line where the tab meets the interior of the card), then the PSA graders will be precluded from entering a numerical grade. Cards that are cut within the limits established for a particular issue will be encapsulated and designated as “authentic” by PSA. All of the cards eligible for this service will be designated as “Hand-Cut” on the PSA label to distinguish them from the intact, “with tab” or “with coupon” examples.

    PSA suggests that, in order to achieve the highest grades, the cuts of the cards should be relatively close to the visible borders without exceeding the limit. Cards that exhibit a clean, accurate and properly shaped cut have the best chance at achieving the highest grades. Eye-appeal is very important. When it comes to excess paper or cardboard around the edges of the visible borders, the graders will place significant importance on overall eye-appeal. Keep in mind that all cards of this type will be designated as "Hand-Cut" on the PSA label for accuracy. In addition, if the customer chooses, PSA will grade and encapsulate entire panels if those panels will fit in any of our current PSA holders. With the exception of the aforementioned items, normal grading criteria will apply.

    I haven't looked at 1972 Topps in a long time. Is that Schaal IA 9 still a big money card? I remember that being one of the tougher ones to get in 8, let alone 9.
    WANTED:
    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
    Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs

    Nothing on ebay
  • I'm not sure if it (The Shaal IA PSA 9) is or not, I like the look of the 1972 IA cards so I sent it in as I was trying to get them all in PSA 8. If it is, it will be for sale. I need to get back to focusing on my Cardinal collection especially, Musial, Boyer, and Simmons. Currently expended to hopefully include a PSA 7 or better Lou Brock and Curt Flood Rookie cards. If anyone has info on the price of a PSA 9 1972 Schaal IA I'd like to hear. Thanks again.

    PS - With regards to the Post Canadians, I thought that all the boarders were there. I'll have to look when they arrive back to me.

  • Thank you for posting the grading of hand cut card statement. I will need to be more careful when sending these items in.
