Congrats..Id love to see the fleer sticker Jordan and the 10 when you get them back!!

Glad to see that I am not the only one who gets stuck with some absurd arbitrary 5's. I have about 4-5 of them that I will scan in later that should be at least in the 8 range...IMHO.

The 1975 PSA 9, I'm still excited about. Last year I did a bulk submission and got about 10 8's maybe... and a veritable crap-ton of 7's and 6's... getting 8's (for the most part) and a 9 is thrilling.

Actually adding to my set using cards collected as a kid is pretty satisfying for me.

2 EXCELLENT 5 1987 KAYBEE SUPERSTARS OF BASEBALL 24 KIRBY PUCKETT SUPERSTARS OF BASEBALL huh?

Those Kaybees are tough

Those surprise 5s seem to most often be a result of wrinkle in the card's surface that you might not have seen.

I wouldn't say it's worth less than the grading fees

Mattingly was the first player I collected when I was younger, I've been contemplating starting a Mattingly master registry set as I still like seeing his cards.

Nice sub, Jake! I want to see the '68 Gibson that you thought was a 4 when you get it back. Where are all the Campy's?

No Campy, Tall-boy or Vintage poppage yet... waiting... I can only hope this was my worst sub.
