Grades Just Popped - Video Posted

gemint · March 2, 2015 9:54AM

Saw that my grades just popped today. Lately I've been waiting for the cards to arrive before looking at the grades and then videotape going through the sub. This one was 200 cards. I hope to film and post the video later this week after I receive the shipment. In the meantime, I did look at the first few to get a sense of how the sub was graded. So far, it's promising.

1 1 23841845 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1976 Topps 19 George Brett Card
2 1 23841846 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1974 Topps 319 Randy Hundley Card
3 1 23841847 MINT 9 1973 Topps 608 Rookie Pitchers Busby/Colpaert/Medich Card
4 1 23841848 MINT 9 1976 Topps 365 Carlton Fisk Card
5 1 23841849 MINT 9 1976 Topps 420 Joe Morgan Card
6 1 23841850 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1976 Topps 341 Lou Gehrig All Time All-Star Card

I'll post a link to the video once it's done. 200 cards total, mostly 1969 and 1970.

That's the way to come out of the gate

76 Brett is a toughie!!

grote15 · March 2, 2015 10:08AM

Check the next six! You know you want to!!

How long did it take for grades to pop?

gemint · March 2, 2015 10:10AM

Thanks.

1973 #608 is a low pop too and one I need for my set.

The order logged in mid-January.

tsalems1 · March 2, 2015 10:11AM

How can you stop after just 6 cards?

Nice. I'm waiting for a 208 card sub that was logged Dec 8. I waited till 55 business days to ask about it and none of my emails have been answered.

I use the same willpower us pack collectors use not to rip through our unopened collection!

Well it looks like it's gonna be a great sub by the way things started out

Good luck on the rest of the grades

DanBessette · March 2, 2015 11:11AM

I hope you didn't have any YAZ cards in that sub!

packCollector · March 2, 2015 11:47AM

I felt inclined to look ahead for you, you sent in a nice mix of cards

LOL, spoiler alert!

ahkmedbinladen · March 2, 2015 1:50PM

Ill Give you a benjamin for 23841869 right now!!!

gemint · March 2, 2015 2:05PM

<< Ill Give you a benjamin for 23841869 right now!!! >>

Lol, thanks for not revealing the card. If it's a PSA 7 common, you got yourself a deal. All kidding aside, I'll get back to you after my shipment arrives.

ahkmedbinladen · March 3, 2015 12:35AM

I was kidding(I mean Ill give you the benjamin if you force me to) ....Its a nice hit for you. Most wont appreciate it but its a toughie in that grade.

76collector · March 3, 2015 12:59AM

As an avid collector of 76's I'd love to see some pics when you get the cards, if you have some time to post them.

Looks promising so far.

Now you guys are really testing my willpower.

I'm trying not to comment to avoid ruining John's fun....but I (drool) would definitely appreciate it!

Now I'm drooling.

jmaciu · March 3, 2015 3:42AM

Nice start, John. I can't wait to see the video of the rest of the submission.

DanBessette · March 3, 2015 6:43AM

I don't get it. How can other people see these grades?

LarkinCollector · March 3, 2015 6:48AM

<< I don't get it. How can other people see these grades? >>

Cert verification on the next flip numbers in sequence.

That's a lot of work. I commend anyone who went to the effort to uncover my sub. It would be so much easier to just wait for the video.

ahkmedbinladen · March 3, 2015 10:51AM

ahkmedbinladen · March 3, 2015 10:52AM

It wasn't work at all...looking through all those 7s and 7.5s was very entertaining!! Just kidding

Once you enter a cert number you just press back button and change last digit. Easy peasy. And congrats on that gem mint Schmidt RC!!

I actually do this when I have questions about a card. I recently bought a PSA 8 '63 Brock card that was short in the holder. So I scanned the adjacent certs to see if there were any rejects. Fortunately there weren't. There were a bunch of other '63 stars and commons that graded from 6-8 with one 9. So that made me feel a little better about the card. I also did this when I bought my PSA 8 Clemente RC. It was part of an amazing sub that also included the only PSA 10 Clemente RC that Eric Olander now owns which was graded about 8 cards prior to the PSA 8 I own.

Card Target will show you 20 certs at a time.

gemint · March 8, 2015 5:32AM

I finally had a chance to film and post my sub results. Here they are. Third video is only 4 minutes as I ran out of room on the other disk. I was exhausted after a long week of work when I filmed it so hopefully it doesn't sound like I'm on valium.

PaulMaul · March 8, 2015 5:53AM

Fun view! Any of this stuff going to be for sale, or no?

gemint · March 8, 2015 6:25AM

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, some of it will be for sale. Some will upgrade my sets with the lower grade version going to auction.

calaban7 · March 8, 2015 6:54AM

Nice videos !!!

I enjoyed the walk down the memory lane .----- Sonny

Thanks for sharing the videos, that was awesome!

Great show, thanks for taking the time to shoot and post your videos. Doug

RynoandBo · March 8, 2015 9:00AM

I thoroughly enjoyed this series of videos. Very entertaining.

itzagoner · March 8, 2015 9:03AM

still got the magic touch with '69 Topps. some nice hits in there.

ahkmedbinladen · March 8, 2015 9:04AM

great video. Thanks for posting it.Any comments on all the .5s?

detroitfan2 · March 8, 2015 9:07AM

That was awesome, are you willing to share links to your set registries, I would love to see them!

cpamike · March 8, 2015 9:38AM

Thanks for videoing the submission John. It was interesting all the 8.5's you got. Hopefully you got a bunch of nice upgrades for your sets.

Surprised they graded the Jerry Grote though. I would have thought it was altered for sure.

gemint · March 8, 2015 9:46AM

<< great video. Thanks for posting it.Any comments on all the .5s? >>

It really was surprising. I don't recall ever getting so many on one submission. It was either an aberration or they are making a renewed push to use the .5 grades.

Great stuff, John. I like this idea..

I heard somewhere that the, 5 grade is assigned if graders aren't in agreement of a particular grade. Not sure if that is the case, though.

GDM67 · March 9, 2015 7:18PM

Good stuff. I particularly enjoyed seeing the '70 Rico Carty and the '73 Gary Matthews rookie.

Thanks for taking the time to let us have a look.

Thanks Tim. I've heard the same thing. So I wonder if that implies that the graders rarely disagree since they rarely give out .5s, except for in this sub.

Thanks for watching. I needed the Matthews to upgrade my set so I was happy to hit that one and the Rookie Pitchers card.

Any chance you want to sell the George Brett 1976?
