Any Idea's why I got a N9? on these t206's?

Sportsamerica

I know these would grade a 1 at best, but wanted to get them slabbed... Any reason these got N9?

1 1 18458894 N9: NOT GRADED 1909-1911 T206 POLAR BEAR JOE TINKER BAT OFF SHOULDER Card US
2 1 18458895 POOR 1 1909-1911 T206 PIEDMONT JOHNNY EVERS WITH BAT, CUBS ON SHIRT Card US
3 1 18458896 N9: NOT GRADED 1909-1911 T206 TOLSTOI FRANK CHANCE PORTRAIT-YELLOW Card US
4 1 18458897 POOR 1 1909-1911 T206 PIEDMONT FRANK ARELLANES Card US



I read the site and N9's are:

N-9 Don't Grade - When we do not grade an issue. The cards may be oversized or an obscure issue. The grading fees are refunded. You will be given a voucher good for another submission for the same type of service.

What did PSA say when you called them?

Did you say on the submission form that you would allow Authentic grades? Sometimes, I've had cards that are in Poor condition that I thought deserved a 1 still, but they gave an Authentic instead. This might be the situation, where PSA felt the card was even under Poor due to tears in the card, pieces missing, etc.

Last time I got N9 it was because I didn't write the cards on the forum correctly (Wrong sub set or something like that), DID get vouchers for them though

Where there significant portions of the card(s) missing? I've seen N-9 given in such situations. Also, when the card has significant paper loss or back variations cannot be identified. Obviously, since PSA identified the issue and back variations, it was not a format error with regard to the description on the sub. Do you have pre-sub scans?

I'm pretty sure I know why I got the N9, and was saying what I got it for.

I wrote the wrong set for the card (Wrong year/wrong manufacture)... And got N9 and a voucher for that level of service.

Scott -- No prescans. There was some paperloss (not enough to to be able to tell). What I find interesting is that the Polar Bear and the Tolstoi were the ones which the N9. When I get back I will scan them to see what others think..

No I didn't put on the form to allow for Authentic, like I said I didn't expect more then a 1 on the cards but I find it odd not to the N9... I have had these cards for 20 years picked them up at an auction for $5 each....

Wow! You've got me swinging on this one. They appear to be classic PSA 1's. Even if they had been water damaged, the rejection would've typically been Altered Stock. They do not appear to be oversized or miscut. One of the few times that I'm at a loss and sorry that I can't provide any insight other than to suggest that someone at PSA blew it.

I would drop them in another sub. Since they vouchered you, I'd give it another try and if they pop as N9 again, I'd call as soon as I got the email confirmation and ask them to explain why while they were still in-house.

Cory ... wow, no idea why they would not holder them.

One thing I do congratulate you on ... you have left Scott speechless.

Scott, that's pretty hard to do to you, no? LMAO!!!

Doug I know taking words from Scott is hard..

I think I might post this on Net54 to see if they know something about it..
