Have any of you ever received...?

For those of you that sometimes play the "crackout" game and re-submit cards to PSA. Here's a question for you:

Has anyone ever experienced a bump of more than 1 full numerical grade? Just wondering how frequent it may or may not occur.

I had a PSA 3 rookie Dr. J come back psa 6.

On the top of my head, I had a Ken Dryden OPC RC go from PSA 5 to PSA 7 on a crackout

Also a Terry Bradshaw RC go from 6 to an 8 on a crackout

JBrules,

How ironic that your avatar is the exact card from which this post was centered around. I sent a beautiful 69 Bench that came back PSA 7.5. My sub should pop real soon, and I'm hoping it will come back PSA 8!

Ive seen a certain ebay consignor who had a 1973 Football card turn from an 8 to a 10.

I've had multiple items go up 2 full grades, and also a 5 that became an 8, and a 2 that became an 8. I am absolutely willing to bet that those 2 examples were instances of mech error within the grade portion of the label rather than representative of the intended assigned grade in the first place.

Shell game.

Depends on the issue.. I've had very few topps/mainstream issues come back more than 1 grade higher. However I've had many old tobacco cards (golf/tennis/boxing) come back 2, 3, sometimes 4 grades higher.

I had a PSA 6 Wacky Packages sticker come back a 10 . . .

From a Psa 6 to a Psa 10 is pretty unreal!

Ive had a 1980 Topps Larry Bird/Magic/Irving come back PSA 6 (never asking for no qualifiers), then PSA 8ST and then PSA 9ST. I am much more content with 9ST than the PSA 6 due to the eye appeal with no noticieable black on white marks and only light dusting on the color parts with snow, but I should be in a non-ST holder. FWIW, I am done resubmitting and not taking the risk of cracking the 9 out and its far fetched to get a 9 straight grade in an ST holder imo no matter what it looks like due to bias.



Many people have told me this looks like a 9+ straight, with magnificent centering, but I am done trying with it...for now

I know a former CU member who cracked out a card, sent it to a signing, and even after all that additional handling it came back 2 grades higher.

7 to a 10 on a '76 Doc Medich, and a bunch of two grade bumps.

1955 Bowman Willie Mays ... went from a 1.5 to a 5.

Unreal and scary that they could be so off. The best part for me was that it was a very tough card too.

This has a legal aspect to it based on the above claims.

Twice out of about 15 times I've cracked one out. Had a 2005 Topps Chrome Rodgers Auto Xfractor go from a "5" to a "9" and had a 69 Fingers RC go from a "6" to an "8". Those are also the only two times that I expected a major change. Both times I was 100% certain that a grader has seen something on a card that didn't exist. I've certainly had more bump a full grade than not on the others.

How so? With all grading companies remember this is nothing but the "opinion" of the company looking at the item and applying a grade to it.



Why it is always so important to know what you are doing and by the card, comic, etc. and not the case/grade .
