Ouch My Grades are Available

I put together an order of 25 1955 and earlier cards for the September Special. Was 4-5 cards short to get to the 25 minimum order so I cracked open some PSA 6 1952 Topps that I thought were nicer than that. Only one got the 6 that it was originally graded. Included were a bunch of 1953-55 Topps I got at the National last month and apparently most were "altered". I think I'm pretty good at catching trimmed cards but apparently I have a lot to learn about altered stock. Anyway a disappointing order to say the least but hopefully I will learn a little something about "altered" when I get them back.

    Ouch...sorry to see that Rich. I think PSA has gotten better recently at detcting trimmed/altered cards.

    I've had subs like that, when you crack cards that come back with lower grades or not graded at all. I feel your pain.

    Rich ... sorry to see those results. Hopefully the next sub will be much better.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
  • PSARich, it looks like PSA dinged your stars.
  • Do you get a voucher for an N5?

    Are they saying that someone built up corners and/or edges? Does PSA publish a guideline of this? I may have missed it on the site.

    Sorry about the sub - way to keep your chin up and make lemonade image

    Yep Cardbender, PSA dinged my stars pretty good...probably got a one-star on that order plus paid an awful lot for S/H/I. Your humor made my day. And hey Mark, no voucher for an N5, get a couple for the N6's though.

    Lol! It only took them how many years to finally get good at what they should have been good at all along.
