Is combining vintage with modern a mistake?

I threw in a few '74s with my modern order on my collectors club renewal submission. I got what I expected on the 74s but felt like I got shorted on the modern grade wise.

I seem to remember there being graders for vintage and graders for modern; did I hose myself by having my order mixed, and maybe getting a grader not as familiar with modern?

    I think you'll be fine, if it was a pair of 1956 Topps probably a different story.

    I got the grades. The modern I was 6/12 for 10s. The three Kaepernick chromes that should have been 10s got 9s.

    I'm wondering if they might have gotten graded harder than normal if they wound up with a vintage grader. Or maybe I just screwed up, but damn they were perfect, centered, and scratch free.

    Either way I'm going to have to resub those three.

    Sorry, obviously I just glanced at your initial question and thought your question was about mixing affecting the turnaround time.

    There can be a lot more to surface grading on chromes than scratches. Any pits? Throw up a few pics and we can take a look, like you said might just be worth submitting, buy can't hurt to get others opinions. Congrats on the 6/12 modern.

    I hope I didn't come off as a snot, I've been submitting vintage for awhile so those three coming back 'correctly' isn't as much as a surprise as it probably should be knowing PSA. Modern is new to me though.

    No worries, I was thinking it may work for my vintage.image

    Chasing the 10 grade on modern cards is such a freakin scam.
    Now they got you right where they want you. re-subbing they cards.
