Submission - Min. Grade (Cross-over Only)

I have been doing something for awhile but it bit me today.

Anytime I submit cards I pre-grade myself and write those grades on my copy of the submission sheet.

When the grades pop I compare the results with the hope to continue to improve my grading skill and to get closer to matching PSA's Team standard.

This last submission I typed those predicted grades into the Min-Grade (Cross-over Only) column believing that is only used for cross-overs.

Well my grades popped today and I got a "M/G" indication on a number of my "raw" cards.

Lesson learned, don't use that column unless you want it used. I would hope PSA would adjust the form to match the actual use.

Oh well, the PSA 9's I thought I had I will re-submit next month thinking they should be at least 8.5.

My average is pretty good on predicting PSA 8 NQ (75%), not so good on predicting PSA 9 NQ (20%). (Always was a C student, but 20%??)

Hopefully what I think are PSA 9 NQ's will be the PSA 8.5 standard so I can improve my grading. And yes, I grade using a 10x with 100watt light. I'm talking high grade vintage cards (60's).

Also while I may have someones attention possibly, does PSA ever offer a class on grading? A web based class would really be nice.

    Well at least they came back in the holders you sent them in, right?

    My understanding is he sent raw cards in and accidently put his grade prediction in the minimum grade column, and if the card didnt meet the grade they didnt slab it.

    Correct, these are raw cards.
