Review Results

Only 20 of 169 bumped. The 65s were really nice-I expected to do better there. Best results were a 65 Carty going from 7 to 8, and a 61 Ford A.S. going from 8 to 9. The 65 Howser also bumped to a 9. Two of the cards I was most sure about, the 65 Conigliaro and the 67 Allen, did not bump.

    That is why I am so hesitant to spend any money on reviews. The percentages are just not there. I still wish PSA would offer a review service where you paid a very minimal fee for the review (I am talking like a $1.00) with only an additional amount charged if it bumps up. Would this cause more bumps in grades? That certainly would be the question but it really is the only I could be talked into doing it.

    You just need to be very selective in what you send in. I've done two and hit 7/24 on one and 17/60 on the other. So I'm batting about .280!
  • larryallen73larryallen73 Posts: 6,062 ✭✭✭
    I think that's about right. It's still a numbers game. Re-submit all of them and some might bump then! image

    I was around 30% before this one. Even though the % was low, I still came out way ahead. I do not remember what I paid-was it $4.00 per card? The three full bumps accounted for an additional $800 in VCP value. I probably will resubmit some of them later.

    I am 0 for 6 for a nice percentage of 0.00....never again!
  • Mickey71Mickey71 Posts: 4,250 ✭✭✭✭
    From my calculations you basically broke even. I just sent 14 cards in and 3 bumped a .5 grade. Of the 3, 2 of them were the weakest in the sub. They were very nice cards; but not even close to the best ones. 1 of them was not centered very well either and had a stain on the reverse. I still thought it was a nice 7 and low and behold a .5. I honestly think it's like playing roulette. My only observation that I have noticed is that to bump 7's and 8's you better have basically 9 corners. Centering was all hyped in the beginning and is not the most major factor-------"corners" by far. If the corners are not very sharp do not bother with a review.

    Since PSA is a "value added" service, incentivizing them to
    give higher grades would destroy the perceived integrity of
    the review process.

    ......

    The current fees are as low as they can be.

    I wonder what would happen if you reviewed the ones that didn't get bumped again. I guess if money wasn't an object it would be interesting to see what would happen. I am sure some of those would be bumped.

    I agree. Unfortunately that conflict does not meet mesh right with my pocket book! image
