Receiving your grades..

How many people feel that when they receive their grades that it was equal to or better than they expected (the order as a whole, not one particular card)? I would say about 1 out of every 3 gradings, I feel are about equal to what I expected. rarely if ever, have I been blown away.image

    I always feel my grades are lower than expected, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    I love seeing my grades pop. I'm all giddy around the time that they're supposed to. Sometimes that "giddiness" is enhanced by being pleasently surprised, but I can only think of a handful of times that this actually happened (cards I thought would be 7's that end up being 8.5-9s). The rest of the time, I'd say 70% is about on par with what I'm expecting then there is the 30% that leave me dumbfounded, of which, around 15-20% I feel like resubbing.

    Like Bob, I'm fairly pleased with my grading experience.

    Most are on point. Maybe I've finally got this grading thing pretty much figured out... There's an occasional WTF, but they tend to be equally distributed with the higher than expected and lower than expected. Obviously, this creates a few crack-outs.

    They check pop then give you your grade...

    50% - Pleasantly surprised
    35% - Just about what I expected
    15% - What was I thinking sending that card in?
