My take away was a chimp could sub modern cards but it takes a whole lot more scrutiny to sub vintage.

Life-long collector, but I've only been subbing my own items for grading for a bit over 8 years. Like most of us, I would have done some things differently in the sub but overall not the worst for a first-timer. Here's the results from my first go back then:
VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT+ 4.5 1961 Parkhurst 20 Gordie Howe (I remember hoping for at least a 5 but, OK)
VERY GOOD 3 1971 O-Pee-Chee 264 Checklist (crack & resub became a PSA 5)
NEAR MINT 7 1971 Topps 45 Ken Dryden (had hoped for higher, but agreed after closer inspection after receiving back)
N1: EVIDENCE OF TRIMMING 1973 Topps 72 Guy Lafleur (subbed to SGC and got a Mint 9)
NEAR MINT 7 1974 Topps 130 Bobby Orr
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1975 Topps 210 Scoring Leaders Orr/Esposito/Dionne
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1980 O-Pee-Chee 289 Mark Messier Error-Back Says Shoot Right
VERY GOOD+ 3.5 1985 O-Pee-Chee 9 Mario Lemieux (crack & resub became a PSA 5)
EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1956 Topps 51 Ernie Oravetz Gray Back (was convinced this was a sure-thing 9 before sending it in but didn't resub)
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1959 Topps 338 George Anderson
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1959 Topps 360 Al Kaline
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1959 Topps 516 Mike Garcia
NEAR MINT 7 1959 Topps 556 Nellie Fox All Star (I remember being disappointed this one didn't grade higher)
MG: MINIMUM GRADE 1933 Sport Kings 19 Eddie Shore Hockey (subbed to SGC and got a 6)
MG: MINIMUM GRADE 1935-36 Diamond Matchbooks Howie Morenz Tan-Type 3 (subbed to SGC and got a 3)
Wow. My first sub. It was split because I had the oversized Jabbar. Wish I still had that one.

You are only as good as the cards you get your hands on. This came from a sealed set I purchased in 2010. I was very fortunate that the pack was so nice and I submitted what I thought were the best 15. I got a few more high grades from the pack in my next sub too.

Outside of the last 4, I thought they were all going to be 8's and 9's.
No wonder why the Concepcion RC looked good - it was sharpied by a previous owner and I missed it.
The Brett Mini RC was a real kick in the nads too.

Scored my PSA 10 Minor League Maddux on my first sub. Learned quite a bit, most notably to not crack out Gem grading slabs(die cut ARod) and the hologram on the back of 89 UD Griffeys play a considerable role in their grading. Surprising enough I still have most of these as the sub is from December 2012.

My first sub was a membership voucher for 6 free grades. I remember pulling the Henderson from a super cello pack (I still have it). Thought it would grade PSA 10 like the other 1980s, lol..

I was off by one on far too many out of my first batch, split across two different piggyback subs. I still think the first four were all bumpable, but a couple have been sold already after picking up upgrades.
Three are currently back at PSA to correct mech errors and the Spieth has made several round trips since the first without making it in a holder yet.
I was horrible on my first sub...I subbed for fun obviously and then got serious when I started subbing more. Now if I score below a 9 on something, I'm pretty frustrated (unless something rare or difficult like Venies).

How are you able to access your very old subs now? My list is only going back to 2009. Maybe it's because I changed email addresses. I no longer can log in under my old address. Anyways, I guess I'm the old timer so far in this thread. My first sub was in 1999 or 2000. The results were PSA 9 for my 1969 Topps #50 Roberto Clemente and PSA 8 on the Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan and Mickey Mantle from the same set.
.
Mine was pretty brutal. Expected low grades on most of the Ringside. The PSA 8 Satterfield was a good hit.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
I still have the Muldoon and the Hackenschmidt cards in my collection today but the other wrestling cards I have upgraded to PSA 7s....on my first real sub I hit a wrestling all star Hulk Hogan in a PSA 9 that has since been cracked out and no longer in the pop report.

I have submitted like 10+ griffey UD rookies...all nicely centered...they all have came back as 8s. I wonder if it is the holo on the back that screws us all!
Mine was three cards submitted July 2002:
1 1 30100964 GOOD 2 1915 Cracker Jack 32 Mordecai Brown Card
2 1 30100965 EXCELLENT 5 1934 Goudey 62 Hank Greenberg Card
3 1 30100966 MINT 9 1984 Donruss 106 Cal Ripken Jr. Card
I wish I still had the Greenberg and Three Finger Brown cards. Next sub was ten years later.
I don't have info on my earliest subs, as at one point I think I changed my account
and the previous info didn't transfer. This is my first sub with my new account,
The Johnny Bench was from a group break.

Stupid list…. Mistlin
It's great seeing the dates on some of these subs going back 15 years. In terms of the "flips", that's 4 or 5 generations ago.

Heh - not as bad as I thought... found a nice raw set of woodies to kick it off:
