Congratulations - were these cracked out?

MrVintage

No I was too chicken to crack them out(especially the Posada refractor) I do have a 97 topps chrome refractor Tracy Mcgrady BGS 9 that I cracked out that is in a different sub. I am interested to see how it turns out.

Maybe they are more generous on the shiny stuff than the vintage stuff.....

The '69 was a BVG 6. The 70 was a BVG 5. I can accept this result, though that '69 is one strong PSA 5 now.

The 87 Fleer and 89 Donruss were both BGS 9.5's. I'm pleased with the 10 on the Donruss, but I made a phone call today and requested they take a second look at the 87 Fleer. First, it's not like BGS to make that kind of mistake, and second, I actually lay cards atop the cards I send in just to spot check for things like that (not my first dog n pony show).

The Score '90 was a 9 Ouch.

The Sportflics was mostly a test... I think it has some sort of surface issue... anyway, it was a BGS 4.

All in all, if they re-evaluate the 87, I'll be happy. Probably end up re-subbing it if not, because it was a stellar card.

FYI--I mostly did this sub to complete my basic set.

Seeing as how those were all mid grade and newer stuff, I probably would have cracked those out Mosiac...did you?

Could have just bought PSA 10's for about the same price as grading.

In slabs. Had my re up coupon, and my general rule is I sub cards I picked up back in the day. With few exceptions, my Ryan cards are literally cards I bought between the ages if 8-18. Nostalgia and sentiment, ya know? Crossed those over because I used bgs way way back when I first knew about grading. Not so much a fan of bgs now...

Eh, like I said, I'm all good so long as they review the 87
