    I subbed a 1982 A Hulk Hogan RC and got a PSA 9 on it and eventually sold it for $135 thinking it was a great deal for me and the latest sale was $2650. Oops!

    1955 #53 Bill Taylor was SGC 8 crossed to PSA 8 March 30, 2004. I sent it in for review when they went to .5 grades and it bumped to PSA 8.5. I think it was even nicer than that. Probstein sold it for me. I kinda miss it.

    Spring of 2000: I subbed four 1989D Ken Griffeys. I thought all of them were hammer-lock PSA 10', and was already wondering how I would spend the $7k that I was going to profit from them as soon as I shipped them out.

    Three weeks later they came back from PSA. All were graded 8's.

    I've only ever submitted one card to PSA. It was a 1978 Topps Trammell/Molitor RC. I submitted it in person at the National Sport Collector's Convention in Chicago in 1998. It came back an 8.

    For me it was 2002. 3 cards:
    1915 Cracker Jack Mordecai Brown PSA 2
    1934 Goudey Hank Greenberg PSA 5
    1984 Donruss Cal Ripken Jr PSA 9

    Not sure how Cal made it in with the 2 vintage cards.

    Yup, that's pretty much how it went for me too... only 1989 Score Barry Sanders rookies around 1998/1999. Thought at least 3 were Gem-Mint... all came back as PSA 8.

    That turned out to be my first and last sub. Grading was considerably more expensive back then and it just made more sense for me personally to buy the cards I wanted in graded form already slabbed.

    Much less effort, guess work, and chance involved... especially for what I collect.

    My first sub was in 2004 with my free membership voucher (was 8 back then).

    8 - Jimmy Brown cards (58, 59, 60, 61t, 61f, 63, 65, 66)

    I had just completed my Browns collection is raw form from 1950 - 1994 and was wondering where to go next...

    This was my first sub to PSA from Sept 2010. It was my 15 free voucher sub. The first two cards on the list were too fragile to holder. I still have the Schutter Johnson Ruth's and Gehrigs (except one of the dups), but the rest are gone.
