Just got back a smaller sized sub from PSA today. Overall, I'm very pleased with the grades, especially with the number of Mint 9 minis and the PSA 8 72 OPC Aaron, Clemente & Stargell cards. The PSA 9 Billy Williams IA card was nice, too, as I now have 2 of the 5 9s in the pop report, both pulled from wax packs. All of these cards were pulled from wax packs recently--the 72 OPC packs were from a partial box of 30 packs in the recent Mile High auction which were in beautiful shape for this issue, which is notorious for damaged and gum stained cards. The Brett mini and the regular size Brett were pretty OC, but were straight graded instead of being given a 9 or 8 OC. Was really elated to get the Kaline Highlights and Carlton minis come back Mint 9, too! The Niekro is a tougher card, as well.

    Lmk and thanks

    Bobby,

    These are graded cards, not packs. Hoping to get my pack sub back soon, as well!

    Tim,

    I'm an idiot, just got home from work and just thought it was packs.

    NP, Bobby...though if I had 72 OPC packs with Aaron or Stargell showing, I'd surely submit them, LOL!

    I have about 70 fresh from a box on the way to PSA now!

    These 72 OPC packs were very clean--it's always a risk buying those packs as many are gum-damaged, but these were real nice. I will send a few in to PSA next time around and probably wind up opening the rest, of course.

    Thanks, Doug!

    That 78 Brett is a tough one. Good luck with the second round of 78's!!!
