Need some help on getting packs graded

lightningboy

I am planning on submitting a large order of BBCE packs to PSA. What factors other than the obvious tears, holes, wear should I be looking for?

I have some nice cellos(centered top cards, flat seal on the back), where the wrapper is a bit loose. Will that affect its grade?

On wax packs, do they get downgraded for crinkled up corners if there is no wear to be seen?

You guys can help me save a bunch of $$ with your responses. thanks, Tom

If the seal on back is loose or "popped," don't bother sending the pack in as it will not grade. If there is just some "give" in the cello, but seal is tight, that shouldn't hurt you. Likewise, crinkled corners will not hurt the grade as long as there are no tears and seal is clean on back.

Thanks Grote15. Yes the seal is completely intact on the cellos, just loose wrapping around the cards. Interesting on the crinkled wax and it sure does deter the eye appeal. But I did see a PSA 9 pack that was mercilessly wrinkled in the upper left corner.
