I pulled these from wax packs and racks. Was expecting a few 10's. Got one. Cards looked perfect to me except for a couple. Guess I don't know what a 10 looks like.

The 86 Sandberg is tough. 2 - 9s is excellent.

addicted2ebay

Not bad some nice 9's but I hear you about the tuff grading lately. My subs have been garbage lately. Had a pack pulled dead center Elway not graded because it was too large??

ldferg

Somebody on the BST is looking for an 86 Montana.

RyanAdmirer

You have a ton of 9's in a submission full of cards that are 30-35 years old. That's tough for anybody. For being a newbie to submitting I'd say you're doing a pretty good job.

I'd suggest studying this..

PSAGradingStandards

It helped me a lot after my first or 2nd submission.

Boopotts

Let me know if any of these are available- I'll pay VCP for any well-centered 9s'.

Keep working at it and the results will get better. Practice with these cards when you get them back. Look at them critically and see if you can figure out where they fell short of gemmint. See if you can identify any patterns.

mikeschmidt

9's from wax packs is a good result.

ElvisP

Thanks everyone for all the advice/opinions. On second look I guess getting 50% 9 or better is not that bad. I would post some pics but no scanner and when I try to post a picture I always get an over size error message.

I find it funny that your one 10 is on one of the toughest issues to get a 10 on. Those black 86 borders are killers. Looks like a good sub to me.

If you want REAL disappointment, try subbing some '75 Topps minis.
