PSA Graders Hate Yu Darvish

epatmythes

Submitted my key hits from a 2012 Bowman case break under the May 30-Day Special... popped today (of course, on business day 31)... and I painfully continue the current trend of PSA giving a 9 to everything graded Darvish! Literally, it's still a small sample, but every 2012 Darvish card has popped a 9 so far! With the exception of the Mesoraco (figured it was a 9, but wanted to slab the only BC RC Auto I pulled), I was figuring everything else was a 10... albeit, I've found the centering to be rather tough on the 2012 Bowman cards... especially the Pujols and Darvish, these were my best centered examples, and while not perfect 50/50, figured they'd make the minimum at least... guess I was wrong. Clueless as to the misses on the Harper cards... grader just felt like 1 of each was enough???

Harper 10's & the Cespedes 10 go to my PC, off to eBay with the rest!

That's a great sub. PSA is not the only one tough on grading Darvish.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a great sub! Got Harper 10's for my PC, the first 3 cards will easily pay for the sub... just kinda shocked all of the Darvish's came back 9's!!!

I was leary on the Pujols' as well, but had my fingers crossed that slide by at the minimum centering tolerance... but I hedged my bet buying a bunch raw on eBay from several different sellers and subbed a few more with 50/50 (or close) centering on my June submission!

Bell should be a Texas Longhorn. I can't stand the Pirates. They need to hire their own scouting department and not just draft Longhorn recruits...
