Any luck with opening Factory Sets for submissions?

Especially the Donruss sets that came in the 50ct cello bricks

If you've tried it, how's it gone for you?

    The only time I subbed anything from a factory set was the '89 UD Grif. Both got 8s.

    PSA should grade the cellos themselves, IMO.

    I've done pretty well in the past. I busted a 1986, 1987, and 5 1988 Donruss factory sets, as well as a few of the "Rookies" and "Highlights" sets.

    PSA never punished the cello-corners that these cards usually come out of the pack with. The biggest problems I encountered with the 80s Donruss factory stuff was surface wrinkles and centering.

    I have had many 10's from 92 Topps and OPC factory sets.

    Busted a 1985 Donruss factory set and the Clemens pulled a 10.
    50-50 all and not a chip
  • The factory sets are where most of my 10's came from when I submitted a few years back.

    several years ago I busted a 89 UD set and the Griffey came back a 9 and Randy Johnson a 10
