Grades are in.
Background: This was a CC renewal submission. I submitted just before the end of the calendar year. Grades popped earlier in the week; just got the cards in the mail on Friday evening. 15 total cards submitted; all high end modern (top 5 star auto cards). I expected 12 x 10s and 3 x 9s; I used scanner high res pics and jewelers loupe to do my best to determine flaws and condition. All cards had a min grade of 9 declared on the submission. The 10 graded cards (pictured below) were purchased raw from card shows and ebay over the last calendar year. 5 cards failed to meet the min grade criteria; of note, all of these 5 x non-graded cards (not pictured) were BGS 9.5 crack outs (heavy sigh). You win some and you lose some. Of note, for all time submissions, I am 6 for 15 on BGS 9.5 crosses to PSA 10s (all crack outs).
Assessment: I am very pleased with the cards that did get graded. I had concerns on 3 of the 4 that came back as 9s, so no love lost. The Aaron Rodgers /50 rookie auto looked stunning….wish that came back as a 10. My favorite is the Jeter canvas/patch auto; just damn sexy in a 10 holder!
PSA 10s:
PSA 10 2008 UD Masterpieces Captured on Canvas Autographs #DJ Derek Jeter Auto on Card w/ jersey. Just stunning. Pop 1.
PSA 10 2007 Ultimate Collection Ultimate Team Marks #DJ Derek Jeter Auto short print serialized 29/60. Nice all around card.
PSA 10 2005 Reflections Dual Signatures Red #DJKG Derek Jeter & Khalil Greene Auto short print serialized 71/99. I am not sure who the hell Khalil Greene is, but the Jeter auto pops well with the red refactor-like background. Pop 1.
PSA 10 2013-14 UD Black Dual Signatures #B2JJ Michael Jordan & Magic Johnson Auto on card short print serialized 4/15. Pop 1.
PSA 10 2010-11 Ultimate Collection Signatures Dual #DJR Michael Jordan & Bill Russell Auto on card short print serialized 24/25. Love the bold blue autos. Pop 1.
PSA 10 2013-14 SP Authentic Sign of the Times Dual #S2HJ LeBron James & Anfernee Hardaway Auto. Whatever happened to Penny?
PSA 9s:
PSA 9 2009 Upper Deck Goudey Autographs #GGDJ Derek Jeter Auto on Card. I think front side centering knocked this card down from a 10, but cannot tell for sure.
PSA 9 2012-13 SP Authentic Sign of the Times Triple #JJE Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Julius Erving Auto. I think the lower left corner flaw made this a 9. Pop 1.
PSA 9 2013-14 Upper Deck UD Black Dual Signatures #B2MD Michael Jordan & Dennis Rodman Auto on card short print serialized 8/15. I think this one dropped due to top/bottom centering issues. Pop 1.
PSA 9 2005 Leaf Rookies and Stars Longevity Parallel #201 Aaron Rodgers Auto short print serialized 32/50. I thought this card was flawless…not sure what I missed here.

"I will do anything for a PSA 10, but I won't do that!" Might ring a bell.
