Persistence in reviews

Finally, after the 3rd try. PSA bumped my 1964 Rose from 8.5 to 9. I overpaid by 8.5 standards a year ago feeling pretty good about it being a 9....I think it's closer to a 10 then a 9.

One of my all-time favorite cards in the right holder, finally!

Congrats on the bump! Link doesn't work, though.

How do I attach a .JPG?

<< How do I attach a .JPG? >>

Just copy the URL of the image and add IMG in brackets at the beginning of it and /IMG in brackets and the end.

ClockworkAngel · January 3, 2014 10:07AM

Argh! I'm hopeless with this format

Copy and paste into your post. You must upload the image first or just use the IMG code link from Photobucket.

Nice job!

Here's an example of a PSA 9 64 Rose image from the net with trhe IMG codes added to front and back of URL..

Nice job. I love that card!!!

ClockworkAngel · January 3, 2014 10:26AM

Grote, I really appreciate the help! I was trying to take it straight from my desktop to the post and skipped the photobucket stop.

Here it is!

No chance. Really lucky to get a 9 on that with that kind of tilt.

Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine?

Tilt is very minimal and I have seen thousands of cards with a slight tilt get a 9. I don't think I "got lucky". This is a blazer and truly a 9....9.5 really

Dboneesq · January 3, 2014 11:26AM

CONGRATS! What a HUGE bump!!!! That added THOUSANDS to the value! WTG!

bumpskier · January 3, 2014 11:31AM

At what service level did you submit your Rose? Did you send it as a single card every time or with a group of other cards? Anecdotal history suggests that if you send a group say of ten to fifteen cards PSA seems to bump about 20 to 25% if the cards are high end for the grade.

There's a reason it took multiple times. But it bumped and that is all that matters, so congrats.

Todd,

Congratulations. Glad your persistence paid off.

PSA is notoriously lenient on tilt. I seriously doubt the relatively minor tilt here was an issue one way or the other.

JustinsShoebox · January 3, 2014 12:20PM

Beautiful card! I love it!

Congrats Todd!

cardbender · January 3, 2014 12:48PM

That's a sharp card. Congrats on the bump.

6fan · January 3, 2014 12:55PM

I'm surprised that card is in a 9 holder with the tilt. I wouldn't think they would drop that into a MINT holder, but congrats to you on getting the card to bump up.

JoeBanzai · January 3, 2014 2:37PM

Tilt is well withing centering guidelines. This card is yet another reason there should be a 9.5.

GREAT looking card, congratulations!

ldferg · January 3, 2014 3:35PM

If there is a tilt, it is very minimal and would not keep it from a 9. Looks like the card is tilted in the holder more than on the card.

Did this cross in he holder or did you crack?

It was bumped in the holder.

Ok, here's a better scan. The card was a tad tilted in the holder. The tilt is very slight

I retract my previous comment. I guess the card wasn't sitting right in the holder.

I am torn on this. What a can of worms it would open if PSA went to the 9.5. How many 10's should be 9.5's? It would certainly be good for business as you'd get reviews on 9's left and right, but I don't think PSA needs the business right now. What would 9.5 be called? Mint plus? And without a doubt if they went to 9.5 all of our 9's would take a huge hit in value

I think it's a great looking card.

Slight tilt doesn't detract IMO.

If they ever did 9.5? You could always send it in - holdered - for a bump?

grote15 · January 4, 2014 6:30AM

If they were going to implement the 9.5, it should have been done when they instituted half point grades in general. I think it would be ill-advised to start now.

PaulMaul · January 9, 2014 6:27AM

Anyone expressing shock that this '64 Rose got a 9 with the supposed "tilt" should take a look at this card and about 100 others on eBay:

itzagoner · January 9, 2014 6:34AM

i was wrong about this card. think i recall you posting it before you sent it in for a review. i'd never have thought it would qualify with the registration being a little off and i might have passed up an opportunity were it my own. now i'm compelled to rethink my strategy on some of my own cards.

congrats to you and thanks for the inspiration.

PaulMaul · January 15, 2014 9:35AM

corncobb · January 15, 2014 3:27PM

Very nice card indeed! I always consider the 64 to be Rose's real rookie card.

The real shame is having to pay for a "Professional Service" multiple times.

It's never too late to admit you made a mistake and then do the right thing.

Who said implementing a 9.5 grade is the right thing? On the contrary, I think it would be the wrong thing to do. I thought as much about the half point grade system in general, as not all graders even utilize the option in the first place.

ClockworkAngel · January 15, 2014 7:27PM

Yes there's enough grey as it is. Suddenly a 9.5 would make it even more gray

And like I said, it would cause the majority of the 9's we already own to drop drastically in price. Bad idea, too many negative consequences

fiveniner · January 15, 2014 7:58PM

nice card,good eye.

Mickey71 · January 16, 2014 3:51AM

Everyone needs to relax on the 9.5 thing. I will help ease tensions.....they will no doubt add the 9.5 in about 5 years. It's a business. It's a business. It's a business. When all the major high grade vintage has been graded, they will need the 9.5 so that everyone can review their 9's. This will be a free for all with all the 9's already graded. If it makes business sense, they will do it. $$$$$$$$$....no doubt.
