is anyone bothering to sub 1975 topps baseball anymore?

mattinglymint23

have the graders simply ramped up the standard on this issue to make it virtually impossible to get 9s on solid cards?

mattinglymint23

guess not...

I have got a couple of 9's but that was a few years ago. Pete Rose and Gary Carter.

Can you provide a scan of a card you thought warranted a 9?

I just subbed a significant part of my vending set. I got quite a few 9s including Boog Powell. I was pleasantly surprised.

mattinglymint23

Congrats gem - vending is usually tough.
Dtkk/Lincoln, I'll scan some upon return. All were mint centering so even the 7's I'm surprised didn't get a .5 bump. These things are turning around in a week on the sub - I'd almost prefer they take their time a little more if it gave me some more consideration time.

Did you loupe them and did you look for surface blemishes?

mattinglymint23

Yes but maybe I was overly optimistic
I did pull out another 10 or so that had an issue.
I rule out all surface bubbles and dents bigger than or equal to a fine point pen. Maybe they didn't like the gloss? I dont know. I need to find another hobby that more satisfyingly sucks me dry of money.

you could always play golf! or buy an expensive road bike and start upgrading it!

mattinglymint23

Golf is an option. At least ill get a sunburn and have the empty box for all my lost balls
I can keep score on the back of all my 75 topps PSA 7's...

...or you could buy your 9's already graded,
take all the gamble out of it, and have your
PSA 9's.
