1977 Topps Mexican POPage

These just popped today. A little disappointed as I only sent in what I thought were sure fire 7's and 8's (only the Tork and Sowells were expected to be less than a 7). It's been awhile since I've sent anything into PSA and this is my first Mexican submission, but after buying quite a few 8's online (some of them VERY UGLY), I'm pretty surprised that these graded so low. Any thoughts???

I'll have to go through them again when they get back. Anyway, not to gripe too much... Here are the grades:

    Tim:

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I finished a raw set that I recently sold and now I'm working on two PSA sets. The first in strict PSA 8 or better with NQ's and the other in whatever grade I can muster. At this time, the cards I got back will be filling those two sets and are not for sale. However, I am always looking to trade or buy for my needs.

    I'll be grading more and updating Wantlist and For Sale lists on my website (www.toppsmexican.com) in the near future, so feel free to check them out.

    Holiday mail must be slow. Sub was shipped by PSA on 11/21, arrived 12/6. Anyway, after reviewing, it appears, contrary to many examples that I own and have seen, that PSA is now paying serious attention to the roller marks (at least on this sub) that are commonplace within this set. In the examples I reviewed, the cards with a very, very faint roller line scored no higher than PSA 7, the cards with a minor roller line scored PSA 6, and the cards with heavier roller lines were PSA 5.

    This is in sharp contrast to many PSA 8's that I own that have significant roller marks. I'll probably crack some of the really sharp PSA 5s and PSA 6s out and resubmit in a mixed invoice at a later date.

    Overall, I think the really strong cards I had in this submission hurt the lesser cards. Definitely, there should've been more 8's and more than one 9. But it appears that PSA 9s are still the Holy Grail in this set.

    I'd love to hear from any others collectors out there that grade this issue. I'll begin culling the results and additional information that I gather and add it to my toppsmexican.com website.
