This particular auction made me chuckle a bit when I saw some of the grades of a psa 2 psa 3 and 87 Donruss psa 3. It seems Psa needs to have a small little magazine called Psa grading for Dummies to assist the newer customers.* A few pages at most with popular cards modern and vintage, explaing if card is creased highest possible grade Vg/EX ETC.... In the magazine it should have certain pictures of various grades with raw cards showing, so some newbies can have an idea of what the card will grade out at. I think that it is these kind of newbies that get their cards back with these types of grades and put the cards on ebay and bash Psa for giving them bad grades and bash Psa, for the lack of knowledge AND MISTAKE THEY MADE ON THEIR OWN!

    I have always detested the fact that SGC, PSA and Beckett all use such fuzzy (pun slightly intended) terms to describe grading criteria. No doubt a few pictures would be a huge help to both the newbies and the confused alike. Might also serve to educate those Ebay sellers who say they can grade but just can't.

    Not that the difference between "slightest fraying", "slight fraying" and "slightly graduated fraying" shouldn't be completely clear to everyone, right?? image

    Wouldn't he have made a lot more money selling off the 85 Topps rookies one at a time and then throwing the rest into one big lot?

    Yes He could have made roughly $10-$15 on each 85 Topps Rookie, the psa 8's.
    On the other stuff he could have re-listed individually and put them all .99 cents with a shipping cost at $2.00 with combined shipping of a $1.00 a card. I would have cracked those psa 2's and three's and psa 5's out and lotted them all together! Then kindly sent the Flips back to Psa so they all wouldn't be pop 1's anymore image He could have at least got the grading fees back. I watched the auction but forgot about it. I had a plan on What I would do with that stuff. Would be a good feedback builder lot for someone image

    Edited for a bit of mild humor!
